chore: HWP Previews Plugin Updates June 2026

[colinmurphy]

Background

Various releases were failing due to Psalm failing due to incompatibilites with some packages.

Important

We are now making PHP 8.2 the minimum PHP version.

Changes

Various packages were needed to be updated (also depreacted one removed)

• lucatume/wp-browser 3.7.19 → 4.6.1
• phpunit/phpunit 9.6 → 10.5
• 10up/wp_mock removed entirely
• FaustIntegrationTest.php — replaced WP_Mock with a small inline function stub in the WPE\FaustWP\Settings namespace; uses a $GLOBALS key the stub
  reads, so tests stay isolated
• Psalm no longer crashes — the PHP 8.4 nullable parameter deprecation is gone since wp-browser 4.x fixed it

Also:

• Fixes issues with activation/de-activation hooks
• Updated test to for WordPress 7.0
