Right. Turns out this bug can be replicated with just one file as well:

public class Second {
  /**
   * {@inheritDoc}
   */
  public void act() {}
  
  public void bite() {}
}

Somehow javadoc still replaces `{@inheritDoc}` tag with empty output (tested with 16), and this serious bug doesn't affect the validity of the test �� in an unexpected way. Pushing the fixed version of test classes.
