Polyfill Php82 Laravel Package

Technical Evaluation

Architecture fit: Laravel's existing Symfony dependencies ensure seamless integration without architectural changes. The polyfill leverages Composer autoloading and works natively within Laravel's ecosystem.
Integration feasibility: High. Installation via composer require requires zero configuration. The package auto-registers runtime polyfills for supported features when PHP <8.2 is detected.
Technical risk: Low for explicitly polyfilled features, but critical to verify feature coverage (e.g., syntax like readonly properties or true typehints aren't polyfilled and will fail on older PHP). Edge cases in less common functions (e.g., mb_str_split() with non-ASCII inputs) require validation.
Key questions: Which specific PHP 8.2 features are required? Are they covered by the polyfill's documented support list? How will testing validate behavior across all target PHP versions (e.g., 7.4, 8.0, 8.1)? Are there conflicts with existing custom polyfills or opcode caches?

Integration Approach

Stack fit: Fully compatible with Laravel's Symfony-based
