 **Test Report**

 Env / Setup:
 Theme: TT4
 WordPress: 6.4
 OS: macOS Sonoma
 Localhost: docker wordpress-develop container
 Browser: Chrome
 Note: I used the Rider theme for testing, mainly checking WP CLI logs.

 **Setup Steps:**

 {{{
 npm run env:cli -- wp theme install rider --version=2.1.0 --activate
 }}}



 **Steps to test**

 Update the rider theme via WP CLI

 Apply the patch

 Remove the rider theme
 Install v2.1.0 again
 Update the theme via CLI


 **Results**

 Without the patch:
 The rider theme got updated to the 3.0 version, which requires PHP 8.1

 With the patch:
 I got the error "The PHP version on your server is 7.4.30. However, the
 new theme requires 8.1", and the theme did not get updated.

 I've added screenshots on the PR (https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/5583#issuecomment-1823567981).

 Conclusion:
 The patch works as expected
