Isolate the default test from global SSH-binary configuration.
get_ssh_binary() checks the global runner configuration before WP_CLI_SSH_BINARY. Clearing only the environment does not isolate the test when the global runner contains ssh-binary. Save and clear both values, then restore them.

Remove the unmatched @phpstan-ignore method.deprecated comments.
PHPStan reports ignore.unmatchedIdentifier for these lines. The PHPStan run therefore fails. The guidelines require composer phpstan to pass for PHP changes. Remove the ignore comments that PHPStan flags (lines 309, 311, 342, 344, 346, 360, 377, 379). Keep the ones that existing tests use only if PHPStan still reports the deprecation for them.
As per coding guidelines: "Any PHP file | composer phpcs -- <file> and composer phpstan".

What changed in this PR
This PR introduces a configurable remote WP-CLI command/binary for SSH execution, allowing overrides via runtime config, alias config, global config, or environment variable.
Changes:
- Added
ssh-binaryconfiguration support (runtime flag + config file) and updated typing/docs to include it. - Implemented
Runner::get_ssh_binary()and wired it into SSH command generation. - Added unit and acceptance tests covering precedence and alias syntax variants.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| tests/RunnerTest.php | Adds unit tests for get_ssh_binary() precedence and validation behavior. |
| php/config-spec.php | Documents the new ssh-binary config option for runtime and file config. |
| php/class-wp-cli.php | Updates GlobalConfig phpstan type to include ssh-binary. |
| php/WP_CLI/Runner.php | Implements get_ssh_binary() and uses it during SSH execution; filters related args/keys. |
| php/WP_CLI/Configurator.php | Extends alias key spec/exclusions to include ssh-binary related keys. |
| features/cli.feature | Updates expected param count after adding a new parameter. |
| features/aliases.feature | Adds scenarios verifying remote SSH command uses alias-specified binary/command. |

What changed
- Less repeated work. The isset / is_string / '' !== trim() pattern appeared four times and called trim() twice each time. A single normalize_binary() helper now does it once.
- Fewer lookups. $this->aliases[ $this->alias ] was resolved three times (isset, is_array, assignment). It’s now one ?? lookup.
- Cheaper loop. The loop uses an early continue instead of nested ifs, and the key list is a class constant instead of an array rebuilt on every call.
- Same behavior. Precedence order, the error for non-string alias values, and the 'wp' fallback are unchanged.
Note: This is just a suggestion from my side. Please review it and check whether the code is better and faster than the current code. If it is, we can consider implementing it.


Fixes #5245
Summary
When executing commands remotely over SSH or in containers, WP-CLI previously used a hardcoded
wpbinary (or the globalWP_CLI_SSH_BINARYenvironment variable). For setups where different remote hosts have WP-CLI installed at non-standard paths (e.g./home/user/bin/wp, or invoked viaphp /path/to/wp-cli.phar), users could not configure this per-site alias.This PR adds support for:
ssh-binary(as well asssh_binary,wp-cli, andwp-cli-path) inwp-cli.ymlaliases.--ssh-binary=<binary>inwp-cli.ymlor via CLI.ssh-binaryoptions from being forwarded throughWP_CLI_RUNTIME_ALIASto the remote instance.tests/RunnerTest.php) and Behat scenarios (features/aliases.feature).Summary by CodeRabbit
