@laoneo - where am I supposed to find:
oomla\Plugin\Behaviour\Compat6\Extension\Compat6::__construct(): Argument #1 ($dispatcher) must be of type Joomla\Event\DispatcherInterface, array given
I'm not seeing that anywhere - in the Joomla Backend, or in any log...
(I have tried Maximum Error Reporting: on with or without Debug on, with or without Log Almost Everything and/or Log Deprecated API and can't get it to show....)
I should have specified (fresh installation, Joomla 6 Nightly from Thursday, 28 August 2025 00:55:42 UTC and Install Blog Data, French added, and Install Multilingual Sample Data).
thanks :)
OK, @laoneo so this might or might not be related or help... . Since I couldn't find this error:
0 Joomla\Plugin\Behaviour\Compat6\Extension\Compat6::__construct(): Argument #1 ($dispatcher) must be of type Joomla\Event\DispatcherInterface, array given, called in /home/lights/public_html/_j6b2n/plugins/behaviour/compat6/services/provider.php on line 34
I went on to test PR #46002 #46002, (Downloaded the Update Package and installed it) after which I DID receive the above error message with a stacktrace ;(

(disabling plg_behaviour_compat6 via phpMyAdmin (after clearing cache) let me 'restore' the site).
Then I installed again J6! Nightly, turned on Compat. Plugin 6 and applied the Patch for PR #45998 and it crashed (no error before the PR applied):
An error has occurred.
0 Joomla\Plugin\Behaviour\Compat6\Extension\Compat6::__construct(): Argument #1 ($config) must be of type array, Joomla\Event\Dispatcher given, called in /home/lights/public_html/_j6b2n/plugins/behaviour/compat6/services/provider.php on line 38
The compat6 plugin exists already in 5.4-dev, but there it is only an empty stub without a constructor, so this PR here does it at the right place (6.0-dev).
I don't have time for a real test now, but by review the PR is right, I think.
