`wp package` no longer requires composer/composer. On first use it downloads composer.phar from getcomposer.org into the WP-CLI cache, verifies the SHA-256, and runs it with --working-dir pointing at the packages directory. Composer's output is relayed through WP_CLI::log(). WP_CLI_COMPOSER_BINARY points at an existing Composer instead; offline the newest cached Phar is used. install/update/uninstall run `composer update --prefer-source`, the same operation Installer::setUpdate(true) performed. list/get read vendor/composer/installed.json and check updates with one `composer outdated --direct --format=json` call. browse reads the package index JSON directly. JsonManipulator no longer imports Composer. This removes Composer's dependency tree (symfony/*, psr/*, react, seld/*, json-schema) from the Phar, where it collides with site code. See wp-cli/wp-cli#4632 and wp-cli/wp-cli#5920.
Unit tests cover command construction (WP_CLI_PHP_ARGS, WP_CLI_COMPOSER_BINARY as Phar or executable), output relay and failures, installed.json in Composer 1 and 2 shapes, package index parsing from a fixture, the package-name check and outdated mapping. The memory-limit revert scenario depended on Composer exhausting memory in-process; it now provokes a resolver failure and checks composer.json is byte-identical afterwards. Two scenarios cover the one-time download into the cache and WP_CLI_COMPOSER_BINARY. Git errors from Composer now appear on stdout, so the missing-repository assertions read stdout.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe package command removes its Composer library dependency. It adds Composer Phar discovery, caching, verification, and subprocess execution. Package metadata is parsed locally, and install, update, uninstall, listing, and browsing flows use the new helpers. ChangesComposer Phar migration

AGENTS.md limits Behat commands to WP-CLI commands installed in composer.json. The cited When I run steps invoke host utilities (cp, cmp, and ls).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve interactive Composer behavior.
ComposerPhar::command() always adds --no-interaction, and ComposerPhar::execute() always sets COMPOSER_NO_INTERACTION=1. This overrides the default interactive behavior of install(), update(), and uninstall(). Pass $interaction through ComposerPhar and apply both controls only when it is false. Keep run_json() and other intentionally non-interactive calls unchanged.

💡 Result:
The file path src/WP_CLI/Package/ComposerPhar.php does not exist within the current wp-cli/package-command repository structure, nor does it appear in recent history. The wp-cli/package-command repository is primarily structured with core command logic in src/Package_Command.php [1][2]. Based on the technical context of WP-CLI and its package management, the functionality related to Phar handling—which is often what such a file name would imply—is instead handled via utility methods within Package_Command.php or the central build processes in the wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle repository [1][3][4]. Specifically: 1. Package Management: The wp-cli/package-command package is responsible for listing, installing, and managing WP-CLI packages [5]. It uses Composer internally to manage these installations [5]. 2. Phar Constraints: Because WP-CLI is often distributed as a Phar file, the package-command code includes specific logic to handle environments where standard Composer components (like the default CA bundle) might be missing or inaccessible [6][7]. This logic is explicitly implemented in methods like avoid_composer_ca_bundle within src/Package_Command.php [2][6]. 3. Build Process: The creation and configuration of the WP-CLI Phar are managed by the wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle repository, specifically using scripts like utils/make-phar.php, rather than individual package commands [3][4]. If you are looking for code related to how WP-CLI packages interact with Composer or Phar environments, src/Package_Command.php is the authoritative source within the wp-cli/package-command repository [1][2].

- If
ComposerPhar::locate()or process startup throws (for example, a missing override, download, checksum, or cache failure),$resremains1even though no Composer process returned that code. The subsequent error therefore falsely reportsComposer return code 1; use a non-code sentinel and append the exit code only whenrun()actually returned one.
$res = 1;
src/Package_Command.php:687
- The same sentinel issue occurs here: failures thrown before Composer starts leave
$resas1, so an update-download or invalid-binary failure is mislabeled asComposer return code 1. Initialize this to a non-code sentinel and only include an exit code returned by Composer.
$res = 1;
src/Package_Command.php:798
- The same sentinel issue occurs here: a download, checksum, or startup exception leaves
$resas1and produces a misleadingComposer return code 1for an uninstall that never ran Composer. Initialize this to a non-code sentinel and only include an actual child-process exit code.
$res = 1;
src/Package_Command.php:19
- These are new user-facing configuration and caching behaviors, but the generated package README is unchanged and does not document
WP_CLI_COMPOSER_BINARYor the Composer cache/offline behavior. Since README.md identifies itself as generated at line 494, regenerate it from the updated command documentation before merging.
* Composer is downloaded on first use to the WP-CLI cache (`WP_CLI_CACHE_DIR`).
* Set `WP_CLI_COMPOSER_BINARY` to a readable Composer Phar or executable to use
* an existing installation instead.
src/Package_Command.php:414
- The advertised
--insecureoption is not propagated to the Composer child: this constructor only makes WP-CLI's HTTP requests insecure, while Composer still reads the generatedsecure-http: truesetting for package downloads. Installations against repositories with certificate failures will therefore still fail despite--insecure; propagate the setting to the child process/config and cover that path.
$res = ( new ComposerPhar( $insecure ) )->run( [ 'update', '--prefer-source' ], dirname( $json_path ) );
src/Package_Command.php:694
InstalledPackages::read()throws wheninstalled.jsonis malformed. Because this read is inside the sametryas Composer and$reshas already been set to0, the catch only emits a warning and the method still reaches the success branch, so a failed post-update metadata read can reportPackages updated.. Mark the operation as failed when post-processing throws before reporting success.
foreach ( InstalledPackages::read( $installed_path ) as $name => $package ) {
if ( isset( $before[ $name ] ) && ( $before[ $name ]['version'] !== $package['version'] || $before[ $name ]['source_reference'] !== $package['source_reference'] ) ) {
$updated_packages[] = $name;
}
}
src/WP_CLI/Package/ComposerPhar.php:114
- The offline fallback scans the cache directory directly, bypassing
FileCache::has()and therefore its default six-month expiry. If the only matching Phar is expired, this branch still enters,has()returnsfalse, andlocate()returnsfalseas the Composer binary instead of ignoring that entry and reporting/downloading correctly. Filter candidates throughhas()before selecting the newest version.

Alternative to wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle#1110. Instead of prefixing Composer's dependency tree inside the Phar,
wp packagestops embedding Composer at all: it downloadscomposer.pharon first use, verifies it, caches it, and drives it as a child process.composer/composerleavesrequire, and with it the 30-odd packages (symfony/, psr/, react/promise, seld/*, justinrainbow/json-schema) that collide with site code (wp-cli/wp-cli#4632, wp-cli/wp-cli#5920).What changes
WP_CLI\Package\ComposerPharresolves the current stable Composer 2 from getcomposer.org, downloads it into the WP-CLI cache (WP_CLI_CACHE_DIR, keycomposer/composer-<version>.phar), checks the SHA-256 againstcomposer.phar.sha256sum, and runs it with--working-dir=<packages dir> --no-interaction --no-ansi. Output is relayed line by line throughWP_CLI::log(), so nothing from Composer reaches WP-CLI's stderr.WP_CLI_COMPOSER_BINARYpoints at an existingcomposer.pharorcomposerexecutable instead. Offline with a cached Phar: the newest cached version is used.install,update,uninstallruncomposer update --prefer-source, the same operationInstaller::setUpdate(true)did.update <name>passes the names as Composer's allow-list.
