Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for php/frankenphp focused on reliability improvements in symlink-rich environments. Delivered a targeted fix for symlink path resolution in the FrankenPHP module to prevent worker scripts from failing when invoked from symlinked directories. This work includes enhanced path resolution logic and new tests to cover symlinked paths, increasing confidence in deployments that rely on symlinks. The change is aligned with ongoing cross-module efforts to unify path handling across the Caddy integration and workers, supporting the broader architecture refactor planned around #1646. Impact includes reduced runtime failures, improved stability for production workloads, and clearer test coverage.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered an extensible Worker framework by refactoring the Worker into an embeddable struct, introducing atomic thread-count tracking, and updating the mock worker extension to embed the new Worker. These changes enable composition-based worker extensions, improve concurrency safety, and pave the way for scalable, testable worker patterns in php/frankenphp.
