Summary

Joomla 6 changed the event handler system. Plugins using SubscriberInterface now receive a typed event object as the first argument instead of pass-by-reference parameters. This breaks all plg_webservices_* plugins.

Breaking Change

Old (Joomla 4/5):

public function onBeforeApiRoute(&\): void

New (Joomla 6):

use Joomla\CMS\Event\Application\BeforeApiRouteEvent;

public function onBeforeApiRoute(BeforeApiRouteEvent \): void
{
    \ = \->getRouter();
}

Workflow Impact

The universal auto-release and pre-release workflows should consider a Joomla 6 compatibility check
api/templates/system/index.php must exist for Joomla 6.1 — verify in packaging/deployment
Consider adding a Joomla 6 event handler validator to the CI pipeline

Proof

Workflows updated on both dev and main branches:

auto-release.yml: added RC promotion, removed paths filter, added promote-rc job
pre-release.yml: auto-triggers on dev merge, removed paths filter

The Joomla 6 typed event fix is a per-repo code change (fixed in MokoWaaS#48). A Joomla 6 compat validator for the CI pipeline is tracked as moko-platform#164.
