javac 21.0.8

java version "21.0.8" 2025-07-15 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 21.0.8+12-LTS-250)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.8+12-LTS-250, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Javac (tested on JDK 21 and 8, 11, 17) incorrectly accepts code that attempts to call a static method defined in an interface via a type parameter T, where T is a generic type variable bounded by that interface.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compling following code using javac in JDK21.
```
javac Test.java
```

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The compliation should fail and report such error message:
```
1. ERROR in Test.java (at line 18)
        T.nonExistentStaticMethod();
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The method nonExistentStaticMethod() is undefined for the type T
```
ACTUAL -
The compliation is successful.
