 == Patch Testing Report

 Patch Tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/8042

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-beta2-61752-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.7 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Chrome 145.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken
 1. Using WordPress Develop environment run the wp cli command below.
 Change the container name `wordpress-develop-cli-1` if necessary.

 {{{
 docker exec wordpress-develop-cli-1 wp eval 'print_r( get_pages( [
 "post_status" => "any" ] ) );' --allow-root
 }}}

 2. Confirm that no output is printed
 3. Apply the patch and run the same command
 4. Confirm that `get_pages()` returns a `WP_Post Object`
 5. ✅ Patch is solving the problem

 === Expected result
 - Calling `get_pages( [ 'post_status' => 'any' ] )` should return pages of
 all statuses (publish, draft, private, etc.), consistent with how
 `WP_Query` handles the `'any'` keyword. After applying the patch from PR
 8042, the function returns a populated array of `WP_Post` objects spanning
 all post statuses, confirming the patch is solving the problem.
