 This is the meta or "epic" ticket that encapsulates PHP 8.5 compatibility.

 Previously:

 * #62061 for 8.4
 * #59231 for 8.3
 * #56009 for 8.2

 ''We're going to try a different approach this time around.'' All tasks
 relating to PHP 8.5 compatibility (including devops tasks) will be
 detailed in and handled in individual tickets. This ticket will remain
 only in the WordPress 7.0 milestone for tracking purposes. General info
 about PHP 8.5 can be added to the summary, and tickets for the actual
 tasks will be created separately and then linked here.

 The previous epic tickets served us really well in the early stages of the
 corresponding release, but subsequently made it extremely difficult to
 determine the status of any given change, whether it shipped in any given
 version, and what is required for compatibility without having to read
 through the entire ticket. Splitting every required task into a separate
 ticket with its own acceptance criteria and milestone will help greatly in
 this regard.

 == General info

 PHP 8.5 is scheduled for release in November 2025. Beta can be expected in
 August and RC around the end of September.

 == Tickets

 None so far. Add them here as necessary.
