Env: Bypass Composer 2.8 audit.block-insecure for PHPUnit install

[apermo]

What

Prefixes the tests-cli image's global PHPUnit install with
composer config --global audit.block-insecure false && so Composer 2.8+
will resolve the PHPUnit dependency tree instead of aborting with exit 2.

Why

Composer 2.8 enables audit.block-insecure by default. Every version in the
PHPUnit range wp-env installs (^5.7.21 || ^6.0 || ^7.0 || ^8.0 || ^9.0 || ^10.0)
pulls in transitive deps flagged by advisories PKSA-5jz8-6tcw-pbk4 and
PKSA-z3gr-8qht-p93v. As a result, every fresh wp-env start on CI (and
many local installs) fails with Composer refusing to install anything at
all during the image build.

Composer's own error output points at the fix:

To turn the feature off entirely, you can set 'block-insecure' to false in your 'audit' config.

--no-audit / COMPOSER_NO_AUDIT=1 look similar but do not help here —
they only suppress the post-install audit report, not the resolution-time
advisory filter. audit.block-insecure is the only toggle that lets
resolution proceed.

Fixes #77470.

Scope

Deliberately narrow:

• One-line change in the Dockerfile template.
• A CHANGELOG entry under ## Unreleased.

Explicitly out of scope:

• Tightening the PHPUnit version range. Older PHPUnit majors are still
  needed for older-PHP matrix jobs, so that is a separate conversation.
• The PHP 8.2 pin floated in
  #77470 (comment) —
  that is a user-side workaround, not something to bake into wp-env.

Evidence that downstream workarounds are fragile

I was shipping a sed-based patch of the generated docker-config.js in
apermo/reusable-workflows#24
(released as v0.4.3) to keep our CI green. It works, but it is brittle: any
edit to this line upstream breaks the sed. A one-line upstream fix removes
the need for that patch entirely.

Test plan

• npm install && npm run build completes.
• wp-env start --update produces a tests-cli image that builds
  cleanly (no Composer exit 2).
• wp-env run tests-cli phpunit --version prints a PHPUnit version.

There was a security advisory for PHPUnit that initially included the wrong versions. It only affects PHPUnit 12 and 13.
The issue was fixed in the meantime, so there should be no more CI failures by now.

See sebastianbergmann/phpunit#6592 (comment) and sebastianbergmann/phpunit#6592 (comment)

So this PR should not be needed anymore at all.

Ty for the heads up @swissspidy

Let me also ping @kalessil as he applied a patch to woocommerce.

FYI: I verified in my local setup that the upstream fix also fixes the CI pipeline.

@apermo I'd like to remind you that addressing a security warning by disabling it is clearly not the correct approach.

In this case the warning was a false positive, but you didn't realise that at the time and neither did Claude. If the security warning was valid then your proposed change puts other contributors at risk. Please be more careful in the future, especially when using AI tooling that has a tendency to solutionize rather than critically assess the situation.

[apermo]

Ty for the heads up @johnbillion, you're right, I just should have filed the issue and stopped there. Will have a better look into that next time.

[kalessil]

Let me also ping @kalessil as he applied a patch to woocommerce.

Thanks for the ping @apermo! I'll wrangle the patch revert.
