Quality Checks (Symfony)

Use when

• Before committing or opening a pull request.
• Setting up or tuning PHP-CS-Fixer or PHPStan in a Symfony project.
• A CI quality job fails and the cause must be found and fixed.

Default workflow

1. Detect the tools and configuration files present (.php-cs-fixer.dist.php, phpstan.dist.neon).
2. Run the style fixer in dry-run with a diff first, then apply it.
3. Run PHPStan at the configured level and fix the reported types.
4. Run the test suite last, after style and analysis are green.

Guardrails

• Do not raise the PHPStan level or add baseline entries to make a run pass.
• Keep style-only changes in their own commit, apart from behavior changes.
• Do not silence an error with an ignore rule without a written reason.
• Use the runner the project uses (Docker or host), from the runtime context.
