Answer 1

I believe that the 'Fix memory leak in Router::handle() #16431' within the Phalcon 5.3.1 update is causing the confusion. See: https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/pull/16431 The solution is quite simple fortunately:

    use Phalcon\Mvc\Router;
    use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault;
    
    $di->set('router', function() {
    $router = new Router();
    $router->setDI(new FactoryDefault());
    // ...
