Parity backlog architect run — 2026-06-19 (d)

Living summary for #1492 (issue comment limit reached).

5. Stdlib: array_column() input:/column_key: named parameters rejected (ext/standard/array.c) #10042 — Stdlib: array_column() input:/column_key: named parameters rejected (ext/standard/array.c)

Also filed

• Stdlib: file_get_contents() filename: named parameter rejected (ext/standard/file.c) #10045 — Stdlib: file_get_contents(filename:) named parameter rejected

Upgraded to implementation-ready specs

• Regression: Throwable::getTrace() empty on manual construct — re-#7159 (zend_exceptions.c) #9905 — Throwable manual-construct getTrace() Zend array(1) vs VM array(0) matrix + repro
• Stdlib: password_needs_rehash() missing args throws LogicException not ArgumentCountError (ext/standard/password.c) #9263 — password_needs_rehash() missing args must ArgumentCountError not LogicException

Stale close candidate

• Stdlib: file_get_contents() offset/length args return false — must read slice (ext/standard/file.c) #9308 — file_get_contents() offset/length slice green on master 2026-06-19 (see issue comment)

Named-parameter metadata remains the highest-volume stdlib theme; enum preservation regressions (#10006, #10030) still block language parity.

[PurHur]

Maintainer backlog update (2026-06-19 c):

New this run: #9986 (final global typed const parse regression re-#9909), #9987 (match in typed class const), #9988 (attribute enum-case args compile rejected).

PR #9168: still WIP — fiber resume return not green locally.

Queue notes

Enum preservation (#9512, #9847, #9967) and property hooks (#9725, #9835) remain highest-impact language blockers.

Queue themes

Named-parameter metadata (#10059–#10061) remains high-volume stdlib work; enum preservation (#10062, #10006, #10030) still blocks language parity. php-in-PHP migrations (#10063, #10064) target LLVM monoliths + remaining AOT C.
