The 8.5.12 pin in 39ed0cc/be9afb2 builds the interpreter but the system build
stopped in php-filter's checkPhase:
FAILED TEST SUMMARY
filter.default=encoded doesn't reach hard limit [tests/oom_filter_default_encoded.phpt]
filter_input() doesn't reach hard limit [tests/oom_filter_input.phpt]
filter_input_array() doesn't reach hard limit [tests/oom_filter_input_array.phpt]

Not a fault in the pin. nixpkgs configures PHP with `--disable-all` and builds
every extension as a shared module, while these three tests — added by the
upstream fix for CVE-2026-109618 — deliberately spawn `php-cgi -n` with no
php.ini. With no ini there is no shared filter module, so filter_input() is
undefined, the request never reaches the code under test, and the expected
"Allowed memory size ... exhausted" never appears.
nixpkgs shipped the remedy with the version bump in a5fc1be5b6 ("php: fix
`filter` tests", 2026-10-21 14:27 UTC), which adds the module to the child's
command line. The pinned nixpkgs revision (7694c4f6b853, 2026-10-16) predates
it, so apply the same substitution locally.
The override has to rewrite the filter derivation inside `extensions` rather
than go through buildEnv's `packageOverrides`: that argument is threaded into
the unwrapped PHP only, while the extension set is folded from mkPhp's own
packageOverrides, so passing it there is accepted and silently ignored.
Drop this block once flake.lock is past a5fc1be5b6 — otherwise both patch the
same files and the substitution is applied twice.
Verified by evaluating both derivations against the pinned revision: the
filter derivation now carries the substitution, php-with-extensions is
8.5.12, and the 45-extension set is unchanged.
