How the v13 route works

For larger applications, a successful job must represent the complete engine output rather than an early preview. The dashboard delivery preserves the full returned file and its output hash.

  1. 1Identify PHP target and encoder hints
  2. 2Run the closest v13 profile
  3. 3Preserve full engine output
  4. 4Store delivery hash and runtime evidence

Preview versus delivery

The public demo intentionally limits what is displayed. A completed paid job stores and serves the full validated output returned by the engine.

Large files

Larger payloads use a longer server-side job budget so the request is not mistaken for a failure while the engine is still working.

v13 decoder questions

Does v13 support PHP 8.2 files?

The unified matrix exposes a dedicated v13/PHP 8.2 profile for files that target that runtime.

Can I download the complete result?

Yes. Successful account jobs provide the full stored engine result through the dashboard download flow.
