Part of #82938.

What?

  • composer.json: adds phpunit/phpunit ^5.7 (resolves to 5.7.27), sets config.platform.php to 5.6.20 and require.php to >=5.6.20, and ignores advisories PKSA-z3gr-8qht-p93v, PKSA-v5yj-8nmz-sk2q, PKSA-ft77-7h5f-p3r6, PKSA-b14r-zh1d-vdrc and PKSA-xz3r-9gp4-4m1z.
  • composer.lock: regenerated with composer update phpunit/phpunit --with-all-dependencies. Only PHPUnit's dependency tree changes, and it's now the same as wp/5.9's.

The workflow doesn't change: every leg keeps running the PHPUnit bundled in its wordpressdevelop/phpunit image.

Why?

yoast/phpunit-polyfills, which WordPress 5.5's test library requires (#85015, directly below), requires phpunit/phpunit. Without a constraint, Composer resolved PHPUnit 9.6.38 into vendor. The test bootstrap loads vendor/autoload.php, so the PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 legs would load PHPUnit 9.6's classes, which they can't parse.

PHPUnit 5.7 is the newest release that parses on PHP 5.6. It's only there for the Polyfills and the autoloader. Each leg's image ships a PHPUnit that WordPress 5.5's test library accepts, so this branch needs nothing else:

Image PHPUnit
5.6-fpm 5.7.27
7.0-fpm 6.5.14
7.4-fpm 7.5.20

How?

Same setup as wp/5.9 (#84415) and wp/6.0 (#84281). wp/5.8, wp/5.7 and wp/5.6 lock PHPUnit 7.5 and swap it on the PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 legs instead, because their PHP 8.0 legs need it and no PHPUnit 7 image exists for PHP 8.0. This branch has no PHP 8.0 leg.

  • platform.php 5.6.20 is the matrix's lowest PHP version and the require.php floor. With a higher platform, Composer picks dependencies that need PHP 7.1+.
  • PKSA-z3gr-8qht-p93v covers every phpunit/phpunit release below 8.5.52. The four symfony/yaml advisories cover every 2.x–4.x release, which PHPUnit 5.7 requires. They use wp/5.9's reasons; PKSA-xz3r-9gp4-4m1z (CVE-2026-109413) was published on 2026-08-30, after wp/5.9's list was written.
  • composer install --dry-run against the new lock installs cleanly for PHP 5.6.20, and the PHP coding standards job's install on PHP 7.4 only gets PHP 5.6-compatible packages.
