I have been testing phalcon v5 (RC1 and just now RC2) with php8.1 and i keep getting warnings like

PHP Deprecated: htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/cache/_var_www_html_app_views_index.volt.php on line 453

when i edit the "compiled" file what i see in line 453 is this:
<?= \Phalcon\Tag::textArea(['suggest', 'class' => 'form-control', 'style' => 'height:100px']) ?>
origin code is {{ text_area("suggest", 'class':'form-control', 'style':'height:100px') }}

after i replaced it to simple html the warnings disappeared.
Also if, Tag::setDefault('suggest', ''); is set in the controller, the warning also disappeared.

its a simple workaround, but is it the expected behavior?
