> A commit in the implementation of JEP 455, https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/15638/commits/ceee1e4c08457a0793fdfb556db99e057a947af1, added redundant synthetic local variable for trivial `instanceof int`-ish type conversion operations in the javac AST. Such conversions have been present since the introduction of record patterns, and previously they consistently lower to the part before `instanceof`. With this change, the introduced redundant variable is visible in the class file, as seen in the JBS issue.
