<p>I ran the branch locally on Drupal 11.4.8 with PHP 8.4, ext-mongodb 1.21.10, mongodb/mongodb 1.21.5 and MongoDB 8.3: Unit, Kernel and Functional tests all pass, and it still merges cleanly into 8.x-2.x.</p>
<p>Before merging, please rebase on 8.x-2.x and trim the MR back to the Drupal 11 compatibility scope:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>.gitlab-ci.yml</code>: replace the extension build block with the original one-liner, pinned: <code>pecl install mongodb-1.21.10 && docker-php-ext-enable mongodb</code>. Only add build tools back if a job log shows they are actually missing.</li>
<li><code>composer.json</code>: drop <code>"prefer-stable": true</code>. It was only there to avoid Twig 3.30, which core 11.4.8 now handles.</li>
<li>cspell: the docs updated in <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/mongodb/issues/3626482" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#3626482: Update docs site for 2026-09</a></span> bring new words (at least "Coveralls" and "daffie"): please add them to <code>_CSPELL_WORDS</code>.</li>
<li><code>Logger::eventCollections()</code>: the switch from <code>CollectionInfoIterator</code> to <code>\Iterator</code> matches what <code>Database::listCollections()</code> documents in the 1.x library, and 8.x-2.2 will require 1.21, so it can stay, but please list it under "API changes" in the MR description.</li>
<li>MR description: the "Dependencies" section still says phpunit depends on <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/mongodb/-/work_items/3542043" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/mongodb/-/work_items/3542043</a></span>, which is no longer the case, and "API changes" is missing the <code>eventCollections()</code> signature change.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please also include, since they define what 8.x-2.2 will claim to support:</p>
<ul>
<li>Version floors, aligned with the currently supported core branches (10.6, 11.3, 11.4) and the versions this branch is tested with:
<ul>
<li>the three <code>.info.yml</code>: <code>core_version_requirement: ^10.6 || ^11.3</code>, and <code>php: 8.1</code> instead of <code>php: '8.x'</code>;</li>
<li>root <code>composer.json</code>: the <code>drupal/core</code> conflict becomes <code><10.6.0 || >=11.0 <11.3.0</code>;</li>
<li>all four <code>composer.json</code>: <code>ext-mongodb</code> and <code>mongodb/mongodb</code> raised to <code>^1.21</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>CI coverage for those claims, plus an early look at Drupal 12, in <code>.gitlab-ci.yml</code>:<br>
<pre>variables:<br> OPT_IN_TEST_PREVIOUS_MAJOR: '1'<br> OPT_IN_TEST_PREVIOUS_MINOR: '1'<br> OPT_IN_TEST_NEXT_MAJOR: '1'<br><br>composer (next major):<br> allow_failure: true</pre><p>
The templates already allow the next-major phpunit, phpstan and nightwatch jobs to fail, but not <code>composer (next major)</code>, which the others depend on. They also rewrite <code>core_version_requirement</code> to <code>^12</code> during those jobs, so <code>.info.yml</code> does not need to claim it yet.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Follow-ups, not blocking this MR:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/mongodb/-/work_items/3458044" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/mongodb/-/work_items/3458044</a></span> (PHP 8.4): the implicitly nullable <code>$eventTemplate</code> in <code>DetailController::getTop()</code>, and <code>unset($this->queueFactory)</code> in <code>QueueTest::tearDown()</code>, which Upgrade Status flags on PHP 8.4 and can become <code>$this->queueFactory = NULL;</code>.</li>
<li>Drupal 12 needs PHPUnit attributes: PHPUnit 12 no longer reads <code>@covers</code>, <code>@group</code> or <code>@dataProvider</code>. As long as Drupal 10 is supported, its PHPUnit 9 only reads annotations, so the attributes have to be added next to them, not instead of them. The Drush commands can move to attributes outright, since every Drush version 8.x-2.x accepts supports them.</li>
</ul>
