 Replying to [comment:4 dd32]:

 Thank you for the clarification. I completely agree—forcing the
 `post_parent` into an array is not something **WordPress** should support.
 The simulation was only intended to illustrate how unexpected input can
 lead to PHP warnings and unstable behaviour, emphasizing that developers
 need to ensure they're passing data in the expected format. In a proper
 implementation, `WP_Post::post_parent` should always be a scalar, and any
 deviation is a developer error rather than a WordPress bug. Your insights
 are much appreciated.
