Installs larastan/larastan ^3.0 (v3.9.6) as a dev-dependency. Level 6 is the starting target — catches missing typehints, method- existence, null-safety, and model-property existence. Level 8 deferred to a follow-up sprint after level-6 baseline reaches zero. Baseline error count at install: 1556 errors across 678 analysed files (41 distinct identifiers). Top 10 identifiers (errors / files): 613 / 87 property.notFound 289 / 52 missingType.generics 154 / 31 argument.templateType 98 / 61 missingType.iterableValue 77 / 32 argument.type 50 / 26 method.notFound 35 / 35 method.childReturnType 32 / 9 method.unresolvableReturnType 31 / 10 assign.propertyType 28 / 17 instanceof.alwaysTrue Composer scripts: - composer analyse — run static analysis - composer analyse:baseline — regenerate baseline - composer analyse:clear-cache — clear PHPStan result cache Config deviation from plan: checkGenericClassInNonGenericObjectType was removed in PHPStan 2.x (which Larastan 3 bundles) — setting dropped from phpstan.neon, otherwise config matches the work package verbatim. Defaults cover the original intent. Documentation: /dev-docs/LARASTAN.md added; CLAUDE.md quality-gates section introduced (with PHPUnit + Pint + Larastan listed). Backlog: /dev-docs/BACKLOG.md gets 10 per-identifier reduction sprints (TECH-LARASTAN-01..10) seeded from the actual baseline top categories, plus TECH-LARASTAN-CI and TECH-LARASTAN-L8 follow-ups. Memory limit 2G (baseline generation completed within it). No production behavior change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
