+Updated the SheepIt launcher to address the "Failed setting boot class path" error. Changes:
+
+1. **Added `-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions` flag** — helps with Java 9+ compatibility issues that can cause boot class path errors
+2. **Added Java version check** — displays the Java version in use for debugging
+3. **Added environment variable check** — warns if `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS` is set (can cause conflicts)
+4. **Improved error handling** — clearer error messages and diagnostics
+
+The main fix is the `-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions` flag, which tells the JVM to ignore unrecognized VM options. This often resolves boot class path errors when the JAR or environment includes incompatible arguments.
+
+Try running the launcher again. If the error persists, it may indicate:
+- An incompatible Java version on the remote machine (i9-13ks)
+- System-level Java configuration issues
+
+The script will now show the Java version being used, which will help diagnose further if needed.
