 * Runtime requirements — single source of truth.

 * Consumed by:
 *   - scripts/check_requirements.php  (CI: fails the build if unmet)
 *   - api/health.php                  (production: surfaces drift to monitoring)
 *
 * This exists because a PHP upgrade once silently dropped the ldap extension,
 * which broke avatars with no visible error. Keep this list in sync with the
 * extensions the code actually relies on.
