Fix filterHeaders() dropping purely-numeric header names - #35
Conversation
A header name made up entirely of digits (e.g. "111") is a valid RFC 9110 token, but PHP itself coerces a canonical-integer string used as an array key into an int before filterHeaders() ever sees it. !\is_string($key) then treats that coerced int key as invalid input and deletes the header outright, silently dropping real data instead of the malformed input the check exists to guard against. Casts the key back to a string instead, which recovers the original header name losslessly (PHP guarantees (string) (int) $s === $s for exactly the strings it coerces this way). An empty string is still rejected, unchanged - that is the actual malformed case this method guards against. The existing test data for this method encoded the bug as the expected, correct behavior (a numeric-keyed header labelled "invalid-non-string-key" and asserted dropped); updated it to assert the header is recovered instead.

semantics: in src/HttpWorker.php lines 232-239, either use a representation that
preserves actual string keys or revise the HeadersList documentation to describe
PHP’s runtime key coercion; in tests/Unit/HttpWorkerTest.php lines 52-65, assert
only representable semantic preservation or use a key-value representation that
can verify string-key preservation.
Apply the same fix in `@tests/Unit/HttpWorkerTest.php` around lines 52 - 65: The
expected array key is also subject to PHP's numeric-key coercion and cannot
detect string-key loss.

…lState filterHeaders() now keeps purely-numeric header names instead of dropping them, but PHP always coerces such names into int array keys, so HeadersList can never guarantee string keys. PSR7Worker::mapRequest() and GlobalState::enrichServerVars() consumed those keys as strings under strict_types, so a numeric header name would throw a TypeError instead of being silently dropped as before. Cast the key to string at both consumption points, and correct the HeadersList type/docblocks that incorrectly implied string keys were guaranteed.
