Restrict list type preservation in IntersectionType::setOffsetValueType to offsets within list key range

[phpstan-bot]

Summary

When assigning to a list<T> with an arbitrary int key (e.g., $list[$intKey] = value where $intKey has type int), the list type was incorrectly preserved. The list should degrade to array<int, T> because an arbitrary int offset can include negative values or values that create gaps in the sequential key structure.

Changes

• src/Type/IntersectionType.php: Changed the condition in setOffsetValueType that re-adds AccessoryArrayListType after an offset assignment. Previously it checked $offsetType->toArrayKey()->isInteger()->yes() (any integer offset), now it checks $this->getIterableKeyType()->isSuperTypeOf($offsetType)->yes() (offset must be within the list's key type range, i.e., int<0, max>).
• tests/PHPStan/Analyser/nsrt/bug-10089.php: Updated assertion that was relying on the buggy behavior. $matrix[$size - 1][8] = 3 where $size is int<min, 8> (could be negative) correctly degrades the list since int<min, 7> is not a subtype of int<0, max>.
• tests/PHPStan/Analyser/nsrt/bug-14336.php: New regression test covering:
  • Arbitrary int key in loop → list degraded to array
  • Arbitrary int key outside loop → list degraded
  • Negative int key → list degraded
  • int<0, max> key with array value → list preserved (valid key range for nested modifications)
  • int<0, max> key with scalar value → list degraded (lines 987-994 only apply for array values)
  • Append ([]) → list preserved
  • Constant int 0 → list preserved
  • Nested assignment with foreach key → outer list preserved

Root cause

IntersectionType::setOffsetValueType had a guard condition that re-added AccessoryArrayListType when the original type was a list, the offset was any integer, and the iterable value type was an array. This was originally added to preserve list types during nested dim fetch operations (e.g., $list[$k]['key'] = value), but the condition $offsetType->toArrayKey()->isInteger()->yes() was too broad — it also fired for arbitrary int offsets like those from foreach ($intMap as $intKey => ...) where $intKey has type int (including negatives).

The fix tightens this to $this->getIterableKeyType()->isSuperTypeOf($offsetType)->yes(), which for lists checks that the offset is within int<0, max>. This correctly rejects int (includes negatives) while still accepting int<0, max> (the type of foreach keys when iterating a list).

Analogous constructs probed

• IntersectionType::setExistingOffsetValueType: No similar pattern; delegates directly to member types. AccessoryArrayListType::setExistingOffsetValueType returns $this which is correct for known-existing offsets.
• IntersectionType::unsetOffset: No list re-addition logic; delegates to member types.
• UnionType::setOffsetValueType: No AccessoryArrayListType handling.
• ConstantArrayType::setOffsetValueType: Uses ConstantArrayTypeBuilder which properly checks for gaps via internal $isList tracking. Already correct.

Test

• tests/PHPStan/Analyser/nsrt/bug-14336.php: Regression test for the reported bug (arbitrary int key in loop) plus 7 additional edge cases covering negative ints, int<0, max> offsets, nested assignments, and safe patterns (append, constant 0).
• Updated tests/PHPStan/Analyser/nsrt/bug-10089.php to reflect corrected behavior.

the suggested change does not fix the reproducer of phpstan/phpstan#14336

[phpstan-bot]

The fix has been pushed. Here's a summary of what was done:

Root Cause Analysis

The reviewer (staabm) was correct - the original IntersectionType::setOffsetValueType change didn't fix the actual reproducer from phpstan/phpstan#14336. The reproducer involved a nested dim fetch pattern:

$xsdFiles[$xmlNamespace] = [];  // Reset to empty array
foreach (...) {
    $xsdFiles[$xmlNamespace][$int] = $viewHelper;  // Nested dim fetch with arbitrary int
}
// $xsdFiles[$xmlNamespace] was wrongly kept as list<...>

The bug was in AssignHandler::produceArrayDimFetchAssignValueToWrite (not in IntersectionType). When processing nested dim fetch assignments, the method decides between setExistingOffsetValueType (preserves list structure) and setOffsetValueType (may degrade list). The decision used:

1. $scope->hasExpressionType($container) - was the container tracked? Yes (from $arr[$key] = [])
2. $offsetValueType->hasOffsetValueType($offset) - does the general type say offset might exist? Yes (list<...> has int offsets)

But the actual tracked type of the container was array{} (empty), where no offset exists. This mismatch caused setExistingOffsetValueType to be used, preserving the list incorrectly.

Fix

Added a check at container levels (inner dimensions of nested dim fetches) that also verifies the scope's actual tracked type supports the offset:

$isContainerLevel = $i + 1 < count($dimFetchStack);
// ...
&& (!$isContainerLevel || !$scope->getType($arrayDimFetch)->hasOffsetValueType($offsetType)->no())

This only applies at inner levels where $arrayDimFetch represents the container (not at the outermost level where it's the leaf expression). This distinction is important to avoid breaking single-level cases like array_key_exists($needle, $list); $list[$needle] = 37;.

The IntersectionType::setOffsetValueType change from the original PR is kept as a complementary fix for direct (non-nested) assignment cases.
