Description

Retires the booleanOr.alwaysTrue PHPStan baseline in WordPress core by annotating WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() with @phpstan-impure.

WP_HTML_Processor::next_token() advances the HTML processor state and yields different tokens on consecutive calls. Without the @phpstan-impure annotation, PHPStan's purity inference assumed that successive calls inside iteration or boolean expressions would produce identical results. This caused PHPStan to flag || expressions as always true in callers like WP_Block::replace_html().

Adding @phpstan-impure accurately conveys the state mutation to PHPStan, which eliminates false positive purity assumptions across the codebase, resolves associated errors in booleanNot.alwaysTrue and deadCode.unreachable, and completely retires booleanOr.alwaysTrue.neon.

Testing Instructions

  1. Run static analysis:

    composer phpstan

    Confirm 0 errors are found and booleanOr.alwaysTrue.neon is no longer needed.

  2. Run PHPCS:

    vendor/bin/phpcs src/wp-includes/html-api/class-wp-html-processor.php

    Confirm standards compliance.
