Entanglement doesn't violate locality, it's measurement that does that. And that's because we don't have a rigourous handle on what measurement actually is, and why we call it "the measurement problem"!

Didn't they originally use polarizing filters to measure photonic phase?
If it were possible to measure the phase of a photon after a beam splitter in a nondestructive way, shouldn't it be possible to determine whether measuring one causes state collapse in the other?
This says that photonic entanglement is polarization, and that photonic phase can be inferred from second order of intensity, IIUC:
"Bridging coherence optics and classical mechanics: A generic light polarization-entanglement complementary relation" (2023) https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev...
Shouldn't it then be possible to nondestructively measure photons and thus entanglement?

"Non-destructive measurement" is an oxymoron. It's not a real measurement if it doesn't destroy the coherence of entanglement. Weak measurements do destroy some entanglement, just not "all" of it.
