I think the issue is here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/948abe3cf0fbc1bf2499c1e44a0814737cd3a738/includes/actions/InfoAction.php#765

I think wgNamespaceProtection now contains a list of rights for a namespace (which is allowed per documentation as far as I can see). I could not find such configuration from code search, but could be combination of such values. Looks like the code does not handle that case.

This code was introduced in rMWd67cd9bae03a: Make InfoAction take namespace protection into account

Indeed, .phan/config.php includes:

'wgNamespaceProtection' => 'array<string,string|string[]>'

A simple cast should fix that.
