To **1**: I'll check that. I suspect some lib & Composer issue.

%%

The issue is **not** with your ##composer.json## syntax (##"php" : "8.3 - 8.5"## is valid), but with a **mismatch between your server's PHP version and the generated ##vendor/composer/platform_check.php## file**.

=== The Root Cause ===

Your ##composer.json## correctly allows PHP **8.3 to 8.5**, and you are running **8.3.32**, which should be compatible. However, the error indicates that the **##platform_check.php## file** (auto-generated by Composer in the ##vendor/## directory) was created on a machine running **PHP 8.5+** (or has locked dependencies that require 8.5).

This file enforces the **strictest** PHP version required by **any** of your installed dependencies, not just your root ##composer.json##.

=== How to Fix It ===

==== 1. Regenerate the Vendor Directory (Recommended) ====
The ##vendor## folder likely contains a ##platform_check.php## generated with incorrect constraints. You must rebuild it using your current PHP version (8.3.32).

Run these commands in your project root:
%%(hl bash)
# Remove the existing vendor folder and lock file
rm -rf src/vendor composer.lock

# Re-install dependencies using your current PHP 8.3.32
composer install
%%
  //Note: Your ##composer.json## specifies ##"vendor-dir": "src/vendor"##, so ensure you delete the correct folder.//

====2. Check for Conflicting Dependencies====
If ##composer install## fails, one of your dependencies might strictly require PHP 8.5. Run:
%%(hl bash)
composer why-not php 8.3.32
%%
This will list which package is blocking PHP 8.3. If a dependency like ##phiki/phiki## or ##phpmailer/phpmailer## has updated to require 8.5, you may need to constrain that specific package to an older version in your ##composer.json##.

%%
composer why-not php 8.3.32
Package "php 8.3.32" found in version "8.3.32".
wackowiki/htmlsax3 4.1.3 requires php (^8.5) 
%%

Well, well, well - guess I forgot to set it back to PHP 8.3 - let me check. This is my first release with Composer, stay with me. 

=== Summary ===
Your ##composer.json## is correct. The error exists because the **##vendor## directory was likely built on a different machine** with a higher PHP version requirement locked in. **Deleting ##src/vendor## and ##composer.lock## and running ##composer install## on your 8.3.32 server** will resolve the issue.

FIXED with ((commit:8bc3f0d51d16f627cfef4659ceffb3c71257b32c 8bc3f0d))

To **2**: I could upgrade all my wikis - that's odd.

Testing is good - I sorting out issue after issue, this is a huge update.
I add a Caveats section in the release notes. Lets debug this.
