Summary

Fixes the PHP 8.4 and 8.5 deprecations.

Fixes

  • PHP 8.5 — null as array offset (Using null as an array offset is deprecated, use an empty string instead):
    • src/Config/Repository.phpafterLoad[$namespace] (read/isset/write) now uses $namespace ?? '' (a null/global namespace is a valid case). (This is the one reported.)
    • src/Halcyon/Processors/Processor.php$items[$fileName] / [$fileName => …] now uses $fileName ?? '' (array_get($result, 'fileName') may return null).
  • PHP 8.4 — implicit-nullable parameter:
    • src/Console/Traits/ProcessesQuery.phpint $limit = null?int $limit = null.
  • PHP 8.1+ (also deprecated on 8.5), removed in PHP 9 — strftime():
    • src/Html/FormBuilder.php::selectMonth() — replaced strftime() with date(); the $format default changes from '%B' to 'F' (date() syntax). Default output (full month names) is unchanged; callers passing custom strftime-style formats must switch to date() syntax.
  • Test fix (for green CI): tests/Scheduling/ScheduleListCommandTest — updated the invokable-class schedule:list expectation (modern Laravel renders the bare class name without the Closure at: prefix). This was a pre-existing failure on wip/1.3 unrelated to the deprecations.

Testing

  • vendor/bin/phpunit on PHP 8.5.5: 711 tests, 0 failures, 0 Storm-source PHP deprecations.
  • vendor/bin/phpunit on PHP 8.4.14: 711 tests, 0 failures, 0 Storm-source PHP deprecations.
  • phpcs: clean on the changed files.

Out of scope

  • vendor/assetic/framework triggers a $http_response_header deprecation on 8.5 — that's a third-party dependency, not Storm.
  • PHPStan currently reports pre-existing errors on wip/1.3 (a larastan-version drift, in the relation generics / baseline) that are unrelated to this PR; they are addressed for the Laravel 13 line in Support Laravel 13 #228.

- Config\Repository: use '' rather than a null $namespace as the afterLoad array
  offset (PHP 8.5 'Using null as an array offset is deprecated').
- Halcyon\Processors\Processor: same for the fileName offset (array_get may return null).
- Console\Traits\ProcessesQuery: explicit ?int $limit (PHP 8.4 implicit-nullable param).
- Html\FormBuilder::selectMonth: replace deprecated strftime() with date() (default 'F').
- tests: update ScheduleListCommandTest invokable-class schedule:list expectation to match
  current Laravel 12.x rendering (pre-existing failure on wip/1.3, unrelated to the above).

@austinderrick can you submit fixes to assetic/framework as well? We maintain that library.

How would namespace be null? Docblock currently only says string, what calls this method and passes it a null? Can we update this method to use real argument types?

Under what condition would this be null? That seems like a bigger issue and one that should be protected against by returning null earlier from this method.

foreach ($results as $result) {
$fileName = array_get($result, 'fileName');
$items[$fileName] = $this->parseTemplateContent($query, $result, $fileName);
$items[$fileName ?? ''] = $this->parseTemplateContent($query, $result, $fileName);

Under what condition would this be null? Seems like it would be a bigger issue if it did and would also cause issues with overwriting items if multiple returned null filename

The Form facade would also need to be updated for this.
