# FINDINGS: Core PHP Framework Assessment
|
|
|
|
**Repository**: core/php-framework
|
|
**Branch**: dev
|
|
**Assessment Date**: 2026-02-20
|
|
**Agent**: Clotho
|
|
**Issue**: #2
|
|
|
|
## Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
The Core PHP Framework is in **good baseline health** with solid fundamentals but significant test coverage gaps. The codebase demonstrates mature architectural patterns with event-driven module loading and lazy instantiation. Quality metrics show zero current failures but identify substantial technical debt in test coverage and static analysis configuration.
|
|
|
|
### Health Score: 6.5/10
|
|
|
|
**Strengths**:
|
|
- ✅ All 197 tests passing (100% pass rate)
|
|
- ✅ Zero lint violations (Pint)
|
|
- ✅ Zero static analysis errors (PHPStan Level 1)
|
|
- ✅ Modern architecture (event-driven, lazy loading)
|
|
- ✅ Good code formatting standards
|
|
|
|
**Weaknesses**:
|
|
- ⚠️ Low test coverage: 11.6% (63/542 files)
|
|
- ⚠️ PHPStan running at minimum level (1 of 9)
|
|
- ⚠️ Critical packages completely untested (CDN, Media, SEO, Storage)
|
|
- ⚠️ Many error categories ignored in static analysis
|
|
- ⚠️ PHP version mismatch (8.3.6 vs 8.3.16+ required by psalm)
|
|

|
|
## 1. Environment Assessment
|
|
|
|
### 1.1 Initial State
|
|
|
|
**Branch**: dev (origin/dev)
|
|
**Git Status**: Clean working tree
|
|
**Composer Lock**: Missing (regenerated during install)
|
|
|
|
### 1.2 PHP Environment
|
|
|
|
**Version**: PHP 8.3.6
|
|
**Missing Extensions** (initial):
|
|
- ext-dom
|
|
- ext-curl
|
|
- ext-xml
|
|
- ext-mbstring
|
|
- ext-zip
|
|
- ext-sqlite3
|
|
- ext-gd
|
|
|
|
**Resolution**: All extensions installed successfully via apt-get.
|
|
|
|
**Issue Identified**: PHP 8.3.6 is below the minimum required by \`vimeo/psalm\` (requires ~8.3.16). This is a Ubuntu package repository limitation - 8.3.6 is the latest available in Ubuntu 24.04 stable repositories.
|
|
|
|
**Workaround Applied**: Used \`--ignore-platform-req=php\` to complete installation.
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: Either:
|
|
1. Remove or relax psalm version constraint, OR
|
|
2. Use PHP PPA for newer 8.3.x versions, OR
|
|
3. Document this as a known limitation for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS environments
|
|
|
|
### 1.3 Composer Dependencies
|
|
|
|
**Status**: ✅ Installed successfully
|
|
**Total Packages**: 176 (lock file created)
|
|
**Framework Version**: Laravel 12.52.0
|
|
**PHPUnit Version**: 11.5.55
|
|
**PHPStan Version**: 2.1.39
|
|
**Psalm Version**: 6.15.1
|
|
|
|
**Security**: Roave security-advisories already integrated ✅
|
|
|

- Good use of test doubles and mocking
|
|
- Feature tests use Orchestra Testbench correctly
|
|
- Tests follow AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
|
|
- Good test naming (descriptive, readable)
|
|
|
|
**Missing Coverage**:
|
|
- No tests for critical business logic (CDN, Media, SEO)
|
|
- No integration tests for cross-module workflows
|
|
- No performance tests for caching/optimisation
|
|
- Limited error path testing
|
|
- No security-specific test suite
|

## 3. Code Quality Assessment
|
|
|
|
### 3.1 Laravel Pint (Linter)
|
|
|
|
**Command**: \`vendor/bin/pint --test\`
|
|
**Result**: ✅ PASS
|
|
|
|
**Output**: \`{"result":"pass"}\`
|
|
|
|
**Analysis**: Codebase adheres perfectly to Laravel Pint's PSR-12 based coding standards. No formatting issues detected.
|
|
|
|
### 3.2 PHPStan (Static Analysis)
|
|
|
|
**Command**: \`vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=512M\`
|
|
**Result**: ✅ PASS (with caveats)
|
|
|
|
**Configuration** (phpstan.neon):
|
|
```yaml
|
|
level: 1 # Lowest level (0-9 available)
|
|
paths:
|
|
- src
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Errors**: 0 (at level 1)
|
|
|
|
**Files Analysed**: 515
|
|
|
|
**Critical Concerns**:
|
|
|
|
#### 3.2.1 Ignored Error Categories
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ignoreErrors:
|
|
- '#Unsafe usage of new static#'
|
|
- '#env\\(\\).*outside of the config directory#'
|
|
- identifier: larastan.noEnvCallsOutsideOfConfig
|
|
- identifier: trait.unused
|
|
- identifier: class.notFound
|
|
- identifier: function.deprecated
|
|
- identifier: method.notFound
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Analysis**: These ignored categories mask potentially serious issues:
|
|
- \`new static\` usage may hide LSP violations
|
|
- \`env()\` calls outside config violate Laravel best practices
|
|
- Unused traits may indicate dead code
|
|
- Deprecated function usage needs tracking
|
|
- Missing class/method references may break at runtime
|
|
|
|
**Risk Level**: Medium - these could hide real bugs
|
|
|
|
#### 3.2.2 Excluded Paths
|
|
```yaml
|
|
excludePaths:
|
|
- src/Core/Activity
|
|
- src/Core/Config/Tests
|
|
- src/Core/Input/Tests
|
|
- src/Core/Tests
|
|
- src/Core/Bouncer/Tests
|
|
- src/Core/Bouncer/Gate/Tests
|
|
- src/Core/Service/Tests
|
|
- src/Core/Front/Tests
|
|
- src/Mod/Trees
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Analysis**: Test directories are appropriately excluded, but:
|
|
- \`src/Core/Activity\` exclusion is concerning (production code)
|
|
- \`src/Mod/Trees\` exclusion may hide issues in the best-tested module
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: Review Activity package exclusion reason, consider removing Trees exclusion.
|
|
|
|
### 3.3 PHPStan Level Analysis
|
|
|
|
**Current Level**: 1 (out of 9)
|
|
|
|
**What Level 1 Checks**:
|
|
- Basic unknown classes
|
|
- Unknown functions
|
|
- Unknown methods on \`$this\`
|
|
- Wrong number of arguments passed to methods
|
|
|
|
**What's NOT Checked** (Levels 2-9):
|
|
- Unknown properties
|
|
- Unknown magic methods
|
|
- Possibly undefined variables
|
|
- Unknown array keys
|
|
- Unreachable code
|
|
- Type checking
|
|
- Strict type checking
|
|
- Mixed type restrictions
|
|
- Strict rules
|
|
|
|
**Impact**: Running at level 1 provides minimal type safety. Critical type errors, null pointer issues, and unreachable code remain undetected.
|
|

|
|
## 4. Architecture Patterns Discovered
|
|
|
|
### 4.1 Event-Driven Module Loading
|
|
|
|
**Pattern**: Modules declare interest in lifecycle events via static \`$listens\` arrays and are only instantiated when those events fire.
|
|
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|
```
|
|
LifecycleEventProvider::register()
|
|
└── ModuleScanner::scan() # Finds Boot.php with $listens
|
|
└── ModuleRegistry::register() # Wires LazyModuleListener for each event
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Benefits**:
|
|
- Web requests don't load admin modules
|
|
- API requests don't load web modules
|
|
- Lazy instantiation reduces memory footprint
|
|
- Clear separation of concerns
|
|
|
|
**Quality**: ✅ Well-designed, modern Laravel approach
|
|
|
|
### 4.2 Frontages System
|
|
|
|
**Pattern**: ServiceProviders in \`src/Core/Front/\` fire context-specific lifecycle events.
|
|
|
|
**Frontages Discovered**:
|
|
| Frontage | Event | Middleware | Context |
|
|
|----------|-------|------------|---------|
|
|
| Web | \`WebRoutesRegistering\` | \`web\` | Public routes |
|
|
| Admin | \`AdminPanelBooting\` | \`admin\` | Admin panel |
|
|
| Api | \`ApiRoutesRegistering\` | \`api\` | REST endpoints |
|
|
| Client | \`ClientRoutesRegistering\` | \`client\` | Authenticated SaaS |
|
|
| Cli | \`ConsoleBooting\` | - | Artisan commands |
|
|
| Mcp | \`McpToolsRegistering\` | - | MCP tool handlers |
|
|
|
|
**Quality**: ✅ Excellent separation of concerns, enables selective module loading
|
|
|
|
### 4.3 L1 Package Structure
|
|
|
|
**Pattern**: Subdirectories under \`src/Core/\` are self-contained packages with:
|
|
- Own Boot.php (module entry point)
|
|
- Own migrations
|
|
- Own tests (co-located)
|
|
- Own views
|
|
|
|
**Packages Identified**:
|
|
- Activity (8 files) - Activity logging wrapper for spatie/laravel-activitylog
|
|
- Bouncer (14 files) - Security blocking/redirects
|
|
- Cdn (20 files) - CDN integration (BunnyCDN, Flux)
|
|
- Config (36 files) - Dynamic configuration system
|
|
- Front (266 files) - Frontage system + Blade components
|
|
- Lang (15 files) - Translation system
|
|
- Media (23 files) - Media handling with thumbnails
|
|
- Search (7 files) - Search functionality
|
|
- Seo (19 files) - SEO utilities (OG images, sitemaps)
|
|
- Storage (9 files) - Cache resilience, circuit breakers
|
|
|
|
**Quality**: ✅ Good modular organisation, follows Laravel package conventions
|
|
|
|
### 4.4 Actions Pattern
|
|
|
|
**Pattern**: Single-purpose business logic classes with static \`run()\` helper.
|
|
|
|
**Example**:
|
|
```php
|
|
class CreateOrder
|
|
{
|
|
use Action;
|
|
|
|
public function __construct(private OrderService $orders) {}
|
|
|
|
public function handle(User $user, array $data): Order
|
|
{
|
|
return $this->orders->create($user, $data);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Usage: CreateOrder::run($user, $validated);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Quality**: ✅ Clean, testable, follows command pattern
|
|
|
|
### 4.5 Seeder Ordering System
|
|
|
|
**Pattern**: Seeders use PHP attributes for dependency ordering.
|
|
|
|
**Attributes**:
|
|
- \`#[SeederPriority(50)]\` - Lower runs first
|
|
- \`#[SeederAfter(OtherSeeder::class)]\` - Dependency ordering
|
|
- \`#[SeederBefore(OtherSeeder::class)]\` - Reverse dependency
|
|
|
|
**Quality**: ✅ Elegant solution to seeder ordering problem, prevents circular dependencies
|
|
|
|
### 4.6 HLCRF Layout System
|
|
|
|
**Pattern**: Data-driven layouts with five regions (Header, Left, Content, Right, Footer).
|
|
|
|
**Usage**:
|
|
```php
|
|
$page = Layout::make('HCF') // Header-Content-Footer
|
|
->h(view('header'))
|
|
->c($content)
|
|
->f(view('footer'));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Variants**: C, HCF, HLCF, HLCRF
|
|
|
|
**Quality**: ✅ Flexible, declarative layout system
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Risk**: CDN failures could cause widespread asset delivery issues. No automated validation of:
|
|
- API authentication
|
|
- File upload/sync logic
|
|
- URL rewriting correctness
|
|
- Failover behaviour
|
|

|
## 6. Dependency Concerns
|
|
|
|
### 6.1 PHP Version Mismatch
|
|
|
|
**Issue**: \`vimeo/psalm ^6.14\` requires PHP ~8.3.16+
|
|
**Environment**: PHP 8.3.6 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS latest)
|
|
**Impact**: Cannot update psalm without PHP upgrade
|
|
**Workaround**: Using \`--ignore-platform-req=php\`
|
|
|
|
**Options**:
|
|
1. Use Ondřej Surý PPA for PHP 8.3.16+
|
|
2. Relax psalm version constraint
|
|
3. Remove psalm in favour of PHPStan-only approach
|
|
4. Accept platform requirement override
|
|
|
|
### 6.2 Missing Curl Extension Warning
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: "Composer is operating significantly slower than normal because you do not have the PHP curl extension enabled."
|
|
**Resolution**: Installed \`php8.3-curl\`
|
|
**Impact**: Fixed after installation
|
|
|
|
### 6.3 Missing Unzip Warning
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: "As there is no 'unzip' nor '7z' command installed zip files are being unpacked using the PHP zip extension."
|
|
**Impact**: Minor - may cause invalid corrupted archive reports, loses UNIX permissions
|
|
**Recommendation**: Install \`unzip\` package
|
|
|
|
### 6.4 Code Coverage Driver
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: "No code coverage driver available"
|
|
**Impact**: Cannot generate coverage reports
|
|
**Resolution**: Install Xdebug or PCOV extension
|
|
**Priority**: Medium (needed for Phase 2 coverage assessment)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 8.2 Security Gaps Requiring Review
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **File Upload Handling** (Media package): Zero tests
|
|
- No validation of file type checking
|
|
- No validation of malicious file detection
|
|
- No validation of path traversal prevention
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **CDN Security** (Cdn package): Zero tests
|
|
- No validation of signed URL generation
|
|
- No validation of token authentication
|
|
- No validation of access control
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Bouncer/Gate** (Security package): 21% coverage
|
|
- Incomplete testing of authorisation logic
|
|
- No tests for privilege escalation prevention
|
|
- No tests for IP blocking/filtering edge cases
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Encryption** (Crypt package): Zero tests
|
|
- No validation of encryption algorithm usage
|
|
- No validation of key management
|
|
- No validation of secure random generation
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Headers/CORS** (Headers package): Zero tests
|
|
- No validation of CSP configuration
|
|
- No validation of CORS rules
|
|
- No validation of security headers
|
|
|
|
### 8.3 Security Recommendations
|
|
|
|
**Immediate Actions**:
|
|
1. Test file upload validation and sanitisation (Phase 4A.2)
|
|
2. Test authorisation logic in Bouncer/Gate (Phase 4B.1)
|
|
3. Review encryption implementation (Phase 4C.1)
|
|
|
|
**Future Actions**:
|
|
4. Security audit of CDN access controls
|
|
5. Penetration testing of file upload endpoints
|
|
6. Review of all \`env()\` calls outside config (currently ignored by PHPStan)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 9. Architecture Quality Assessment
|
|
|
|
### 9.1 Strengths
|
|
|
|
✅ **Event-Driven Design**: Excellent separation of concerns
|
|
✅ **Lazy Loading**: Modules only loaded when needed
|
|
✅ **Frontage System**: Clean context separation (Web/Admin/API/etc)
|
|
✅ **L1 Package Structure**: Self-contained, modular, follows Laravel conventions
|
|
✅ **Actions Pattern**: Testable, single-responsibility business logic
|
|
✅ **Seeder Ordering**: Elegant dependency management with attributes
|
|
✅ **HLCRF Layouts**: Flexible, declarative layout system
|
|
|
|
### 9.2 Concerns
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Front Package Size**: 266 files (49% of codebase) in single package
|
|
- May benefit from further subdivision
|
|
- Many are Blade components (acceptable)
|
|
- Consider extracting major subsystems
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Test Co-location**: Inconsistent approach
|
|
- Some packages use \`Tests/\` subdirectory (good)
|
|
- Some have no tests at all
|
|
- Main \`tests/\` directory duplicates structure
|
|
- Recommendation: Standardise on co-located tests
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Activity Package Excluded**: Production code excluded from PHPStan
|
|
- Review exclusion reason
|
|
- Consider fixing issues instead of excluding
|
|

|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 11. Performance Considerations
|
|
|
|
### 11.1 Positive Patterns
|
|
|
|
✅ **Lazy Module Loading**: Reduces memory footprint
|
|
✅ **Resilient Redis Store**: Failover support for cache
|
|
✅ **Tiered Caching**: Multi-level cache strategy
|
|
✅ **Circuit Breaker**: Prevents cascade failures
|
|
✅ **CDN Integration**: Offloads static assets
|
|
|
|
### 11.2 Performance Risks (Untested)
|
|
|
|
⚠️ **Cache Failover Logic**: No tests for \`ResilientRedisStore\`
|
|
⚠️ **Circuit Breaker**: No tests for circuit breaker pattern
|
|
⚠️ **Image Optimisation**: No tests for \`ImageOptimizer\`
|
|
⚠️ **CDN Offload**: No tests for \`StorageOffload\`
|
|
|
|
**Impact**: Performance optimisations may have bugs that cause:
|
|
- Cache stampedes
|
|
- Database overload during cache failures
|
|
- Image processing bottlenecks
|
|
- CDN sync failures
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: Prioritise testing Storage and Media packages in Phase 2A.

## 14. Conclusion
|
|
|
|
The Core PHP Framework demonstrates **mature architectural design** with event-driven module loading, lazy instantiation, and well-structured L1 packages. The **code quality is high** with zero lint violations and clean formatting.
|
|
|
|
However, **significant technical debt exists** in test coverage (11.6%) and static analysis configuration (PHPStan level 1). Critical business packages (CDN, Media, SEO, Storage) have **zero test coverage**, creating **high risk** for production deployments.
|
|
|
|
The **16-week improvement plan** outlined in TODO.md provides a realistic roadmap to:
|
|
1. Achieve 80%+ test coverage
|
|
2. Increase PHPStan to level 6+
|
|
3. Complete security review
|
|
4. Address all high and medium risks
|
|
|
|
The framework has **solid foundations** and with focused effort on test coverage and security review, can achieve **production-grade quality standards**.
|
|
|
|
**Overall Assessment**: Good potential, requires investment in testing and security validation.
