Status Active: Project 00 implemented

CLI classification Included
Image category First-Class

Toolchain

Environment Toolchain
Container php:8.5-cli-trixie (+ composer:2), pinned by digest in Containerfile, plus make and python3
Native CI shivammathur/setup-php (8.5, Composer)

make toolchain verifies both environments. It checks that every tool is on the release line above. It also checks that Composer is present.

Project tooling

What each project's Makefile hooks run. Versions are the ones pinned in the repository (lockfile, Containerfile, or CI).

Purpose Tool
Unit tests PHPUnit 13.4.2
Lint php -l, PHPStan 2.3.1 (level max), and PHP-CS-Fixer check
Format PHP-CS-Fixer 3.95.27 fix
Dependencies One Composer project per project (composer.json + committed composer.lock); development tools only, installed into vendor/ and run as php vendor/bin/<tool>
Build output (BIN_DIR) src/bin/: a #!/usr/bin/env php script that loads src/lib with its own autoloader
Install Copies src/bin and src/lib to $(LIBDIR)/php/<project>/ and writes a #!/bin/sh launcher to $(BINDIR)

Implemented projects

A project is implemented once it is listed in IMPLEMENTED in the repository's root Makefile. CI then builds, lints, and tests it in the container and natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
