Since PHP 8.1.0, executable phar archives are signed with SHA256 by default, instead of SHA1.
The change was introduced by php/php-src@8bb0c74e243 and is listed in the Phar section of the PHP 8.1 migration guide.
I also verified it by building a phar without calling setSignatureAlgorithm(): PHP 5.5 and 7.4 write the signature flag 0x0002 (SHA1), PHP 8.5 writes 0x0003 (SHA256).
