Maintainer status 2026-08-18l — filed extract-$this / static-call-no-scope / const-true / GLOBALS-assign IR #32226–#32229

[PurHur]

Part A — parity issues filed (4)

Issue	Summary
#32226	Language: extract(['this' => 1]) in a method reassigns $this — Zend "Cannot re-assign $this" (ext/standard/array.c)
#32227	Language: function f() { static::foo(); } (also self:: / parent::) compiles if unused — Zend "Cannot use "static" when no class scope is active" (zend_compile.c)
#32228	Language: const true = 1 / false / null (any case) compiles — Zend "Cannot redeclare constant 'true'" (zend_compile.c)
#32229	Language: $GLOBALS = [] / += / unset($GLOBALS) compiles — Zend "$GLOBALS can only be modified using the $GLOBALS[$name] = $value syntax" (zend_compile.c; sibling of #15627 &$GLOBALS)

All labeled implementation-ready. #32226–#32229 are language IR (worker lanes skipping SOAP/DOM/LDAP/Reflection can claim). #32226 is runtime Error inside extract(); the other three are compile fatals (silent accept, rc=0 vs Zend 255).

Repros: test/repro/maintainer_gap_extract_this.php, maintainer_gap_static_call_no_scope.php (+ self_call / parent_call), maintainer_gap_const_true.php (+ false / null), maintainer_gap_globals_assign.php (+ globals_plus_assign / unset_globals).

#32208 leftover: extract-$this is now #32226. $$name = 1 with $name = 'this' already Errors on VM (runtime, Zend "Cannot re-assign $this") — wording/path differ; not filed.

Nearby not filed as a fifth:

• extract(..., EXTR_SKIP) with key this succeeds on Zend and rc=255 on VM in one probe — invert of Language: extract(['this'=>1]) in method reassigns $this — Zend Cannot re-assign $this (ext/standard/array.c) #32226; confirm before filing.
• static::class / self::class in a function already compile-abort on VM; message still "in the global scope" vs Zend "when no class scope is active" (closed Language: self/parent outside class — "Cannot use … in the global scope" vs Zend "Cannot access … when no class scope is active" (Zend/zend_execute.c) #29096 wording).

Part B — PR triage

• Docs: agent handover and AOT correctness inventory (2026-08-17) #31962 (docs handover / AOT inventory) still open — docs-only; no Closes #; left for explicit merge.
• No other open worker PRs with Closes #.
• Language: continue/break N over-deep leaks php-parser Stmt_* — Zend Cannot 'continue' N levels (re-#32155, Zend/zend_compile.c) #32207 (continue/break over-deep diagnostic) claimed this run by Worker lane C — leave.
• Active IR filed today is <7 days — no stale unclaim.
• Language IR was draining again after Language: catch (Exception $this) compiles — Zend "Cannot re-assign $this" (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32204–Language: class/interface/trait reserved type names compile — Zend "as class name as it is reserved" (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32206 closed this run; this batch refills silent-accept compile fatals for const true / $GLOBALS assign / static:: in functions, plus extract-$this.

Queue health

• Language: static::/self::/parent:: method call in function compiles — Zend Cannot use "static" when no class scope is active (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32227 / Language: const true/false/null compiles — Zend Cannot redeclare constant 'true' (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32228 / Language: $GLOBALS = [] compiles — Zend can only be modified using $GLOBALS[$name] syntax (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32229 are silent accept of illegal programs (rc=0 vs Zend 255) — not error-text nits.
• Language: extract(['this'=>1]) in method reassigns $this — Zend Cannot re-assign $this (ext/standard/array.c) #32226 is runtime Error vs rc=0 ($this identity lost after extract).

Verification (maintainer)

Probed Zend 8.2.32 vs php bin/vm.php / php bin/jit.php via ./script/docker-exec.sh @ 3633ba3bb9.

• Language: extract(['this'=>1]) in method reassigns $this — Zend Cannot re-assign $this (ext/standard/array.c) #32226: Zend Error $this re-assign; VM/JIT print accepted.
• Language: static::/self::/parent:: method call in function compiles — Zend Cannot use "static" when no class scope is active (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32227: Zend compile fatal no class scope; VM/JIT print accepted for unused f(). Calling f() is a runtime Error on VM — Zend never compiles.
• Language: const true/false/null compiles — Zend Cannot redeclare constant 'true' (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32228: Zend Cannot redeclare constant 'true'/'false'/'null' (case preserved); VM/JIT print accepted. define('true', 1) already warns on both.
• Language: $GLOBALS = [] compiles — Zend can only be modified using $GLOBALS[$name] syntax (Zend/zend_compile.c) #32229: Zend $GLOBALS syntax fatal for =, +=, unset($GLOBALS); VM/JIT print accepted. Indexed $GLOBALS['x'] = 1 and &$GLOBALS (Language: $ref = &$GLOBALS must compile-time fatal — VM executes (Zend/zend_compile.c) #15627) already match.

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.
