The central history server work introduced four PHP 8.0+ syntax sites in
the plugin codebase. The main plugin file's "Requires PHP: 7.4" header
was already there; the code had silently drifted past that bound.
- includes/class-att-hc-session.php:244 — str_starts_with($host, 'www.')
→ substr($host, 0, 4) === 'www.'.
- includes/class-att-hc-api.php:52 — self::request(…, requires_auth: false)
→ positional false. Same default semantics, same callee signature.
- includes/admin-page.php:165 and class-att-hc-session.php:126 —
list_healthchecks(…, include_steps: …, limit: …) → positional. Same
values, no semantic change.
Verified by linting all 16 plugin files against PHP 7.4.33 — no syntax
errors, no residual PHP 8+ patterns (str_starts_with/contains/ends_with,
nullsafe, enum, readonly, mixed/never, constructor promotion, match).
