## 1. PHP 8.4 Coding Standards

### Recommended Patterns

| Pattern | Standard |
|---------|----------|
| Property hooks | Use for validation/transformation |
| Asymmetric visibility | Prefer over private + getter |
| New array functions | Use over manual loops |
| `#[\Deprecated]` | Mark legacy code properly |

---

## 2. PHP-CS-Fixer Configuration

```php
<?php
// .php-cs-fixer.dist.php

$config = new PhpCsFixer\Config();

return $config
    ->setRules([
        '@PER-CS' => true,
        '@PER-CS:risky' => true,
        'declare_strict_types' => true,
        'trailing_comma_in_multiline' => [
            'elements' => ['arguments', 'arrays', 'match', 'parameters'],
        ],
        'nullable_type_declaration_for_default_null_value' => true,
    ])
    ->setRiskyAllowed(true)
    ->setFinder(
        PhpCsFixer\Finder::create()
            ->in(__DIR__ . '/Classes')
            ->in(__DIR__ . '/Tests')
    );
```

## 3. PHPStan Level 10

```neon
# phpstan.neon
parameters:
    phpVersion: 80400
    level: 10
    paths:
        - Classes
    treatPhpDocTypesAsCertain: false
```

---

## 4. Conformance Checklist for PHP 8.4

- [ ] All nullable parameters explicitly typed (`?Type`)
- [ ] `declare(strict_types=1)` in all files
- [ ] No single underscore class names
- [ ] `#[\Deprecated]` on legacy methods
- [ ] PHPStan level 9+ passing
- [ ] PHP-CS-Fixer with PER-CS
