Implementation Guidelines

Coding Style (PSR Standards)

• PSR-12: Enforce 4-space indentation and opening braces on same line for functions/methods.
• Organization: One class per file; use statements follow namespace. Run PHP CS Fixer with PSR-12 preset.
• Naming Conventions: Use PascalCase (UserService) for classes, camelCase (getUserById) for methods/variables, and SNAKE_CASE (MAX_RETRIES) for class constants.
