Comment:

 Fantastic work on all the fixes that were committed as part of this
 ticket.

 I've assessed this ticket similarly to #59231 and it looks like everything
 that needed to be addressed for compatibility with PHP 8.4 has been
 addressed between WordPress 6.6 and 6.8.

 * Deprecation of implicitly nullable parameter types was fixed in r58009
 for 6.6 and r59052 and r59053 for 6.7.
 * String method name parameters in the `xml_set_*()` functions was fixed
 in the following commits for 6.7: r59055, r59056, r59062, and r59063.
 * Deprecation of passing E_USER_ERROR to `trigger_error()` was fixed in
 the following commits for 6.7: r59106, r59107, r59108, and r59109.
 * Deprecation of `mysqli_ping()` was fixed in r59069 for 6.7.
 * Deprecation of `E_STRICT` was fixed in r59068 for 6.7.
 * Polyfills for `array_find()`, `array_find_key()`, `array_any()`, and
 `array_all()` were introduced in r59783 for 6.8.
 * External dependencies listed in the description are at their latest
 versions as of 6.7 and all now support PHP 8.4.
 * No compatibility related tickets remain in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&keywords=~php84 the
 php84 keyword].

 All other items detailed in the ticket summary are either not related to
 compatibility or do not affect WordPress core or its dependencies.

 This completes the task list for PHP 8.4 compatibility. Thanks everyone
 for your great work!
