> Currently, supplying `-XX:-TieredCompilation` would break with Leyden workflows, because the archive-backed code cache heap would only be created if `SegmentedCodeCache` is enabled. With default compilation policy, this happens normally when tiered compilation is enabled, but not without it.
> 
> There are other minor peculiarities that we need to handle, which are exposed with `runtime/cds` + `-XX:-TieredCompilation` runs.
> 
> This prevents us from testing C2-only Leyden configs and studying compilation dynamics without tiered policy getting in the way.
> 
> Additional testing:
>  - [x] Ad-hoc Leyden experiments now work with `-XX:-TieredCompilation`: the C2-only code is being stored and loaded successfully from the CDS archive
>  - [x] `runtime/cds` now passes with `-XX:-TieredCompilation`
>  - [x] `runtime/cds` still passes by default (i.e. with tiered compilation)
