Redis Object Cache Error Handling

You can review this entire blog post I created https://managingwp.io/2023/04/14/dealing-with-protocol-error-got-e-as-reply-type-byte/

Suppose you misconfigure Redis or there are issues with Redis availability. In such a case, you will receive several different generic errors in the log file and from the PHP Redis extension.

In addition, wp-cli will also show errors and break automation tasks that depend on wp-cli. Better overall error handling should occur for these errors.

Start by reviewing the linked blog post, then locate the Redis object-cache and WP-CLI error-handling paths in the plugin. The issue names no files or tests and does not define the expected behavior, so first establish which Redis and PHP extension failures must be handled and how automation should respond. Done means those cases have consistent, documented handling without breaking affected WP-CLI tasks.
