<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>Running <code>drush potx</code> against a site with real contrib modules installed aborts before writing any output. Three separate parser defects each kill the run; core-only sites never hit them, which is why CI stays green.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A schema <code>mapping</code> holding scalars is fatal.</strong> <code>_potx_process_config_schema()</code> (potx.inc:2611) declares <code>array $schema_data</code> and hands each <code>mapping</code> value to itself. A malformed element passes a string. Shipped by <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/diff">diff</a>:<br>
<pre><pre>diff.layout_plugins:<br> type: config_object<br> mapping:<br> type: sequence<br> sequence: ...</pre></pre><p>
<code>TypeError: _potx_process_config_schema(): Argument #2 ($schema_data) must be of type array, string given</code></p></li>
<li><strong>Scalar <code>dependencies</code> in an .info.yml is fatal.</strong> potx.inc:2482 iterates the key and later <code>array_merge()</code>s it. <code>dependencies: 'drupal:user'</code> instead of a list gives <code>foreach() argument must be of type array|object, string given</code>, then <code>array_merge(): Argument #2 must be of type array, string given</code>. Shipped by <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/force_password_change">force_password_change</a> and <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/htmlpurifier">htmlpurifier</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Config exports are misread as module info files.</strong> potx.inc:2468 matches <code>~[^/]+\.info\.yml~</code>, so a base field override for a field named "info" — <code>core.base_field_override.block_content.basic.info.yml</code> in a config sync directory — is treated as a module's info file. Its <code>dependencies</code> is a config mapping, giving <code>Array to string conversion</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Each is independently fatal, so fixing one only exposes the next.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install diff, force_password_change or htmlpurifier, or export config containing a base fielcode>info.</li>
<li>Run <code>drush potx</code> from the Drupal root.</li>
<li>The command terminates abnormally and writes no .pot file.</li>
</ol>
<p>Also reproducible as a test failure: <code>PotxCommandsTest::testCommands</code> runs bare <cls on any site carrying one of these files.>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Malformed third-party YAML should be skipped, not abort extraction.</p>
<ul>
<li>Accept <code>mixed $schema_data</code> in <code>_potx_process_config_schema()</code> and retrray.</li>
<li>Cast <code>dependencies</code> and <code>install</code> to array when reading an .info.yml.<
</li><li>Require <code>type</code> to be module, theme or profile before treating a <code>*.info.yml<ile.>
</ile.></code></li></ul>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Review the fix and its kernel test coverage.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3>
<p>None.</p>
