fix(gh-1330): allow reading kotlin collection types by default

[DarkAtra]

Fixes #1330

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • MVStore databases can now read Kotlin collections, including empty collections, after reopening.
  • Rejected serialized classes now produce a security error that identifies the class and explains how to allow it, without rolling back stored data.
• Compatibility
  • Native-image compatibility checks now include GraalVM 25.

📝 Walkthrough

The MVStore filters now allow Kotlin collection types by default. Filter rejections identify the rejected class and bypass version recovery. Adapter and native tests cover rejection messages and reading data with an allowlist. The native build matrix adds Java 25.

Changes: MVStore deserialization filter

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1330 requires default reads of serialized Kotlin collections and a clear, non-rollback failure for rejected classes. FilteredObjectDataType adds kotlin.collections.** to the default filter and the v1 filter also allows that pattern. NitriteMVStore.openMVMap detects SerialFilterRejectedException, throws NitriteSecurityException, names the rejected class, and points to MVStoreModuleBuilder.allowedClasses(...) without rollback. The Kotlin reopen test covers empty list, set, map, and nested collections. SerialFilterTest covers the rejection message and data preservation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The Java 25 addition to the verify-native CI matrix in .github/workflows/build.yml is not connected to issue #1330. The MVStore changes, Kotlin regression test, serialization rejection tests, and changelog entry are connected to the issue.

Resolution

Remove the Java 25 matrix change from .github/workflows/build.yml, or link it to a separate directly applicable issue.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 4.35% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 23 functions across 10 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Around line 112-114: Update the rejection message in FilteredObjectDataType to
mention that the process-wide ObjectInputFilter may also reject the class, since
adding it to allowedClasses cannot override that filter. Keep the existing
allowedClasses guidance and add the process-wide filter as another policy to

Identify process-wide filter rejections in the recovery guidance.

If the process-wide filter rejects a class, createFilter rejects it before checking allowedClasses. The message still directs the user to allowedClasses(...), which cannot resolve that rejection. Mention the process-wide filter as another policy to check, or record which filter rejected the class. (docs.oracle.com)
