Valet status throws exception

Distro (Name and version)	PHP Version	Valet version
Ubuntu 24.04	8.4.21	2.4.4

• I've checked the issue queue and could not find anything similar to my bug.
• I'm on the latest version of valet-linux (valet --version): Valet v2.4.4
• I've run valet fix and valet install after updating and before submitting my issue/feature.

What is the problem?
valet status is throwing exception
Php8.4-fpm is running...
Nginx is running...
Dnsmasq is running...

Also seeing this for all valet commands from Debian 13 on php 8.4 and 8.5 after updating composer version. Not using WSL here I'm on a full desktop Debian 13 install.

I ran into the same issue on PHP 8.5. The error is thrown from Symfony's InvokableCommand::__invoke() because Valet commands return null, while it requires an integer exit code.

As a temporary workaround, I patched:

vendor/symfony/console/Command/InvokableCommand.php

and add this condition after $statusCode before exception occurrence condition:

if (null === $statusCode) {
    $statusCode = 0;
}

This allows commands such as valet install and valet status and other valet cli commands to continue working by treating a missing return value as a successful exit code.

DISCLAIMER: I realize this is a pretty tedious workaround and modifying files under vendor/ is not ideal at all. It will also be overwritten on dependency updates. However, if you're blocked and need Valet working immediately, it can be a temporary solution until a proper fix is released or the command handlers are updated to explicitly return integer exit codes.
