Java 21 output is being rejected by challenge

I installed Java 21 and ran java -version in Terminal. My output is:

java version "21.0.12.1" 2026-08-18 LTS Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 21.0.12.1+1-LTS-4) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.12.1+1-LTS-4, mixed mode, sharing)

I pasted these results into results.txt, but the challenge says the output doesn't look right. Is there a specific format the challenge checker expects?
