 > I’m curious what your setup is, though. You’re the first person to
 report this and the change has been in place for about 2 weeks.

 I'm running **Ubuntu 24.04 LTS** with **Node.js v20.20.1** and **Docker
 29.0.3**. I did a fresh clone of `wordpress-develop` and followed the
 standard setup steps without installing PHP locally, since the Docker
 workflow never required it before.

 The block editor failed to load with PHP notices about missing
 dependencies. @SirLouen (my WP Credits mentor) spotted the issue - he
 noticed a line in the build script calling PHP and asked me to run `php
 -v`, which confirmed PHP was not installed.

 Installing `php-cli` resolved it immediately.
