Generalizes the Castopod/UuidModel incident from 2026-05-10. PHP 8.4
deprecated implicit-nullable parameters (`function f(int $x = null)`).
Old vendor libraries spam E_DEPRECATED warnings; CodeIgniter wraps each
in a 23-frame stack trace; per-minute spark cron amplifies into 53-80
MB/day log bleed and 22% sustained CPU floor on small VPS boxes.
Documents the four-line sed fix AND the substring-match gotcha that
extended the fix from 30 seconds to 30 minutes — bare `int \$limit = null`
patterns substring-match `?int \$limit = null` elsewhere in the file
and produce illegal `??type` syntax. Covers anchored sed patterns,
reference-parameter handling (&\$db), the lint-after-every-edit rule,
and a bonus section on hunting stray developer debug prints
(`log_message('critical', 'ITS HEEEEEEEEEEEERE')`).
