Core Rules (Always Apply)

Strict Types Declaration

Every PHP file must begin with declare(strict_types=1). This enforces scalar type coercion rules, catching type errors at call time instead of silently converting values. Omitting it is a code quality defect.

PSR-12 Coding Standard

PSR-12 extends PSR-1 and PSR-2 as the accepted PHP coding style:

4-space indentation, no trailing whitespace
One class per file
use statements after namespace with a blank line before and after
Visibility required on all properties, methods, and constants
Opening braces on same line for control structures
Opening braces on next line for classes and methods
