Suggestion:

        for (MemoryLayout layout : CAPTURE_LAYOUT.memberLayouts()) {
            String name = layout.name().orElseThrow();
            inputs.add(new BasicKey(int.class, name));
            inputs.add(new BasicKey(long.class, name));
        }

There are only two classes, int.class and long.class, so this might be simpler.
