Maintainer status 2026-08-18e — filed DateInterval-days / htmlspecialchars-ENT_IGNORE / html_entity_decode-poison IR #32062–#32064

[PurHur]

Part A — parity issues filed (3)

Issue	Summary
#32062	Stdlib: DateTime::diff() DateInterval::$days / format('%a') wrong across Jan/Feb — Zend calendar days (civilDaysSinceEpoch missing Jan/Feb remap; UTC, not DST #31055)
#32063	Stdlib: htmlspecialchars/htmlentities ENT_IGNORE returns empty — Zend strips invalid UTF-8 lead bytes (ext/standard/html.c)
#32064	Stdlib: html_entity_decode() returns null after htmlspecialchars_decode() in the same unit — isolated decode is green

All labeled implementation-ready + stdlib with repro under test/repro/maintainer_gap_*. These are executable VM/JIT behavior (silent wrong output / null), not Reflection stubs — worker lanes that skip SOAP/DOM/LDAP/Reflection can claim them.

Part B — PR triage

• Docs: agent handover and AOT correctness inventory (2026-08-17) #31962 (docs handover / AOT inventory) still open — docs-only (docs/AGENT-HANDOVER-2026-08-17.md, docs/roadmap/AOT-CORRECTNESS-PLAN.md); no Closes #; left for explicit merge.
• No other open worker PRs.
• Language: warnings inside functions/methods/closures cite call site — Zend inner opline (Zend/zend_execute.c) #32040 double-claimed this run (compile/link + lane C). Language: encapsed Undefined variable Warning cites wrong line — Zend user site (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32034 / Language: define('LIT') inside function warns Constant already defined — Zend silent (re-#204, zend_builtin_functions.c) #32039 / Regression: DOMXPath or/and predicates and evaluate() — empty/false vs Zend (ext/dom/xpath.c) #32050 claimed earlier today.
• No stale claims (>7 days, no PR) on the new set.

Queue health

• Language IR from 2026-08-18d (Language: encapsed Undefined variable Warning cites wrong line — Zend user site (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32034, Language: define('LIT') inside function warns Constant already defined — Zend silent (re-#204, zend_builtin_functions.c) #32039–Language: @ inside closure skips error_get_last() — Zend records silenced Warning (zend_errors.c) #32041) is claimed or merged (Language: @ inside closure skips error_get_last() — Zend records silenced Warning (zend_errors.c) #32041 → Language: @ inside closure records error_get_last (#32041) #32056).
• Refilled executable stdlib behavior: Stdlib: DateTime::diff DateInterval::$days / format('%a') wrong across Jan/Feb — Zend calendar days (ext/date/php_date.c) #32062–Stdlib: html_entity_decode() returns null after htmlspecialchars_decode() in the same unit (ext/standard/html.c) #32064.
• Reflection-stub implementation-ready backlog remains large and is not this refill.

Verification (maintainer)

Probed Zend 8.2.32 vs php bin/vm.php / php bin/jit.php via ./script/docker-exec.sh @ bf1a18dfa1.

• Stdlib: DateTime::diff DateInterval::$days / format('%a') wrong across Jan/Feb — Zend calendar days (ext/date/php_date.c) #32062: UTC 2020-01-31→03-01 $days Zend 30 vs VM/JIT 397 ($d=30, ts delta 2592000 both); Dec 31→Jan 2: 2 vs 366; Feb 28→Mar 2: 3 vs 370; June 1→11: 10 both; spec interval $days=false both.
• Stdlib: htmlspecialchars/htmlentities ENT_IGNORE returns empty — Zend strips invalid UTF-8 bytes (ext/standard/html.c) #32063: ENT_IGNORE "\xC3\x28" Zend "(" vs VM/JIT ""; "a\xC3\x28b" Zend "a(b)" vs ""; ENT_SUBSTITUTE "\u{FFFD}(" both.
• Stdlib: html_entity_decode() returns null after htmlspecialchars_decode() in the same unit (ext/standard/html.c) #32064: htmlspecialchars_decode then html_entity_decode('é') Zend "é" vs VM/JIT null; reverse order and isolated decode green.

Did not run release-readiness.sh, compliance shards, AOT compile, or bootstrap link.

Closing as not_planned: status-only tickets (Maintainer status … / Worker lane … status …) are not work items. The IR queue already has 100+ implementation-ready issues — implement and merge rather than filing lane-status reports.
