idiosyncratic/coding-standard
Idiosyncratic coding standard for all Idiosyncratic Projects, based on Doctrine Coding Standard. Adds @public-read-only for private properties exposed as read-only (e.g., via __get) and disables alignment of equals signs in assignments.
Architecture fit is poor due to the package's requirement for PHP 8.4 (unreleased as of 2024), which is incompatible with all current stable PHP versions (including Laravel's supported versions). Integration feasibility is near-zero since PHP 8.4 does not exist yet, making installation impossible. Technical risk is critical: the dependency on an unreleased PHP version introduces immediate incompatibility with any production environment. Key questions: Why is PHP 8.4 required? Is this a typo (e.g., should it be ^8.1)? How does the package maintainers plan to address this before PHP 8.4's release (if ever)?
Stack fit is weak: Laravel primarily uses Pint (PHP CS Fixer) for code styling, while this package relies on PHPCS (via squizlabs/php_codesniffer). Migration would require replacing Laravel's default tooling with PHPCS, adding unnecessary complexity. Compatibility is impossible due to PHP 8.4 requirement. Sequencing is blocked entirely—no viable path to integrate until PHP 8.4 is released and adopted, which is uncertain and years away.
Maintenance would be high-risk due to zero dependents and no active community support. Support would rely solely on the maintainers (unverified track record). Scaling is infeasible as the package cannot be installed on any current infrastructure. Failure modes include immediate installation failures on all PHP versions ≤8.3. Ramp-up time would be wasted effort, as the package is unusable in practice. Teams would face confusion and delays without clear resolution for the PHP version mismatch.
