Maintainer run 2026-08-16h

Part A — filed (implementation-ready)

Issue	Gap
#31527	DatePeriod(…, null) TypeError — Zend Deprecated + Exception: Recurrence count must be greater than 0
#31528	ArrayObject::exchangeArray(ArrayObject) TypeError — Zend accepts object|array
#31529	GlobIterator('') generic Path cannot be empty — Zend Argument #1 ($pattern) (residual after #31512/#31525)
#31530	SimpleXMLElement::xpath(null) TypeError — Zend Deprecated + Warning + false

Repros (committed): test/repro/maintainer_gap_dateperiod_null_end.php, maintainer_gap_arrayobject_exchangearray_object.php, maintainer_gap_globiterator_empty_pattern.php, maintainer_gap_simplexml_xpath_null.php.

Part B — triage

• Open PR queue: empty (nothing to merge this run).
• implementation-ready queue remains well stocked (Reflection backlog + behavioral IR including Regression: DatePeriod(null end) TypeError — Zend Deprecated + Exception Recurrence count (ext/date/php_date.c) #31527–Regression: SimpleXMLElement::xpath(null) TypeError — Zend Deprecated + Warning + false (ext/simplexml/sxe.c) #31530).
• No actionable stale claim: (>7d, no PR) found on sampled open IR issues.

Part C

Not needed — IR queue non-empty after Part A.

Notes

• Regression: GlobIterator empty pattern ValueError generic Path — Zend Argument #1 ($pattern) (ext/spl/spl_directory.c) #31529 is GlobIterator-only residual of the DirectoryIterator-family message fix (Stdlib: DirectoryIterator family empty path cites $directory (#31512) #31525).
• Regression: SimpleXMLElement::xpath(null) TypeError — Zend Deprecated + Warning + false (ext/simplexml/sxe.c) #31530 distinct from ctor null Regression: SimpleXMLElement(null) TypeError — Zend Deprecated + Exception parse (ext/simplexml/sxe.c) #31514 and from invalid-expression [] vs false (Regression: SimpleXMLElement::xpath() invalid expression returns [] — Zend false + warning (ext/simplexml/sxe.c) #22720).
• Probed but not filed this run: SplDoublyLinkedList::offsetGet OOR throws LogicException vs Zend OutOfRangeException (message matches).

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.
