orWhere generating an OR when it previously would generate an AND

Description

I recently upgraded a legacy laravel application from 5.4 to laravel 11.

The following code:

$booking_boats = $this->current_location->booking_boats()
    ->with(['booking'])
    ->where(function ($query) {
        $query->where('booking_boats.status','Queued')
                ->orWhere([
                    ['booking_boats.status','=','On Water'],
                    ['booking_boats.checkout_date','!=',''],
                ]);
    })
    ->get();

Would previously generate a query like this:

SELECT  *
FROM `booking_boats`
INNER JOIN `bookings`
ON `bookings`.`id` = `booking_boats`.`booking_id`
WHERE `bookings`.`deleted_at` is null
AND `bookings`.`location_id` = ?
AND (`booking_boats`.`status` = ? or (`booking_boats`.`status` = ? AND `booking_boats`.`checkout_date` != ?))
AND `booking_boats`.`deleted_at` is null

The important part is: (booking_boats.status = ? AND booking_boats.checkout_date != ?)

In Laravel 11, the following query is generated:

SELECT  *
FROM `booking_boats`
INNER JOIN `bookings`
ON `bookings`.`id` = `booking_boats`.`booking_id`
WHERE `bookings`.`location_id` = ?
AND (`booking_boats`.`status` = ? or (`booking_boats`.`status` = ? or `booking_boats`.`checkout_date` != ?))
AND `booking_boats`.`deleted_at` is null
AND `bookings`.`deleted_at` is null

The important part is: (booking_boats.status = ? or booking_boats.checkout_date != ?)

So, previously using ->orWhere with an array syntax would generate an AND query, but now it generates an OR query.

This seems like a bug but if somehow I missed this in the laravel upgrade notes I would appreciate knowing what exactly was changed and what functions are impacted as there are hundreds of queries I will have to update.

Thank you.

Steps To Reproduce

Perform an ->orWhere using multiple array elements, ie:

 $query->where('booking_boats.status','Queued')
    ->orWhere([
        ['booking_boats.status','=','On Water'],
        ['booking_boats.checkout_date','!=',''],
]);
