Description
## Deprecation notices observed
dependencies shipped inside LoginPress Pro's Social Login add-on. They contain the bulk of the deprecation notices — chiefly implicitly-nullable parameter types (Type $x = null, deprecated since PHP 8.4), plus curl_close(), __wakeup(), $http_response_header, and a (boolean) cast. They still execute on 8.5 but are the main source of noise.
## Steps to reproduce
1. Load the library on PHP 8.5
2. [ Do OAuth and verify ]
## Expected
No PHP 8.5 deprecation notices when using supported library versions.
## Actual
Deprecation noise on PHP 8.5 (still works, but logs are flooded).
## Context
Bundled in WordPress plugin LoginPress Pro for social login .
Happy to test a patch or pre-release.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by loading the library on PHP 8.5 and exercising the OAuth flow described in the reproduction steps. Inspect the dependency code responsible for the implicitly nullable parameters, curl_close(), __wakeup(), $http_response_header, and boolean cast notices; done means supported library versions produce no PHP 8.5 deprecation notices while OAuth still works.
