Research direction
Start with the PHP 8.6 poll_api RFC and Workerman’s existing socket and event-driven polling path. Compare the new API with the current approach, checking whether it can provide the stated benefit without external extensions. Done means a concrete integration direction or a documented reason not to pursue it.
