Description
**Describe the bug**
Flame Graph does not build with Tideways on PHP8, only with Xhprof
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Install `tideways_xhprof.so` on PHP 8.
2. Run script for profiling.
3. Aggregate details.
4. Go to Flame Graph.
5. See empty Flame Graph.
**Expected behavior**
See full Flame Graph.
**Screenshots**

**Additional context**
When I switched to the Xhprof extension, collect profile details again, and aggregated them.
After I saw the full Flame Graph.
```bash
$ php -dextension=xhprof -v

Research direction
Start with the README context in the issue and reproduce the empty Flame Graph using Tideways on PHP 8, then compare it with the working Xhprof setup. Trace the Flame Graph aggregation path and confirm whether the completed work should document Tideways support or restore full graph output; done means the expected behavior is verified.
