Research direction
Start by running the supplied PHP reproduction in NetBeans 18 and locating the PHP analysis or diagnostic entry point for static-property access. Compare declared, inaccessible, and undeclared cases across static, self, and instance forms; done means each marked “must display error” produces an error while the marked OK cases remain valid.
