extension.json (2)

4-4: LGTM! Appropriate major version bump.

The version bump to 2.0.0-dev correctly follows semantic versioning for a breaking change (raising the minimum MediaWiki requirement).

---

17-17: No deprecated APIs detected; MediaWiki 1.43+ compatibility confirmed.

The extension uses modern MediaWiki service APIs throughout (MediaWikiServices, ServiceOptions, HttpRequestFactory) with no usage of deprecated patterns. The codebase is compatible with MediaWiki 1.43+.

README.md (2)

60-61: LGTM! Platform requirements updated correctly.

The PHP and MediaWiki version requirements are consistent with the changes in extension.json and the CI matrix.

---

129-132: LGTM! Release notes accurately document the breaking change.

The release notes clearly indicate the raised minimum MediaWiki version, which is the primary breaking change in this release.

.github/workflows/ci.yml (2)

118-118: LGTM! Static analysis jobs updated consistently.

All static analysis jobs (PHPStan, Psalm, code-style) have been updated to use REL1_43, ensuring that code quality checks run against the new minimum MediaWiki version.

Also applies to: 184-184, 250-250

---

15-29: MediaWiki branch names are all valid and the test matrix provides comprehensive coverage.

The updated CI matrix appropriately tests across supported releases: REL1_43 (LTS), REL1_44 (legacy stable), REL1_45 (current stable as of December 2025), and master (development). The experimental PHP 8.5 with master is appropriate for forward compatibility testing.

75-75: Update the Composer version constraint to match the new major version.

The installation command still references ~1.0, but the extension version has been bumped to 2.0.0-dev. Users following this command will not install the correct version.

🔎 Proposed fix

-COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update professional-wiki/sparql:~1.0
+COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update professional-wiki/sparql:~2.0
