> This accompanies the fix for [JDK-8361613](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8361613), which restricts `System.console()` to return a `Console` instance only when both standard input and output are connected to a terminal. The change here is solely a specification clarification and tightening of the `java.io.Console` javadoc to reflect this behavior. We are separating the spec clarification because the fix itself may be backported to prior LTS releases without requiring a Maintenance Review process.
