### Description
composer install sometimes hangs when JIT is on and set to tracing. I created a
reproducing repo that shows the problem: https://github.com/ondrejmirtes/composer-hang-repro
Disclaimer: Claude Code helped me create the reproducer. The repo contains two Dockerfiles (with JIT
on/off) that shows the difference in behaviour and loop.sh script that runs
composer install over and over and shows that it hangs in about 3 % of performed runs.
There are some details in the README but consider them with a grain of salt.
To reproduce the problem in the cloned link repository:
# Build both images (PHP 8.5.6 + Composer 2.9.5)
docker build -t composer-jit-hang -f Dockerfile.jit .
docker build -t composer-jit-nojit -f Dockerfile.nojit .
# 1) See the hang with opcache.jit=tracing.
# loop.sh bootstraps vendor/ on first run (one ~30 s install to bring in
# Symfony Flex, which has to be loaded as a plugin for the JIT bug to
# fire), then runs composer install --dry-run 200 times. Expect a
# handful of those runs to be killed at the 15 s deadline — last
# measurement: 19 hangs in 500 runs.
docker run --rm \
-v "$PWD":/work \
composer-jit-hang bash /loop.sh 200
# 2) Same project, same Composer, same PHP, JIT off — zero hangs.
docker run --rm \
-v "$PWD":/work \
composer-jit-nojit bash /loop.sh 200
```
