# 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 ✅

## 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

## 5. Test Coverage Analysis
### 5.1 Overall Statistics
**Total PHP Files**: 542
**Test Files**: 63
**Coverage**: 11.6%
**Breakdown**:
- Core packages: 327 files, 9 tests (2.8%)
- Mod/Trees: 19 files, 9 tests (47.4%)
- Other: 196 files, 45 tests (22.9%)
### 5.2 Zero Coverage Packages (Critical Risk)
#### CDN Package (20 files, 0%)
**Business Impact**: HIGH - Infrastructure for global asset delivery
**Untested Components**:
- \`BunnyCdnService.php\` - BunnyCDN API integration
- \`FluxCdnService.php\` - FluxCDN integration
- \`StorageOffload.php\` - Asset offloading logic
- Console commands: PushAssetCommand, MigrateAssetsCommand
- Middleware: RewriteCdnUrls, RedirectToCdn
**Risk**: CDN failures could cause widespread asset delivery issues. No automated validation of:
- API authentication
- File upload/sync logic
- URL rewriting correctness
- Failover behaviour
---
#### Media Package (23 files, 0%)
**Business Impact**: HIGH - User uploads, image processing
**Untested Components**:
- \`ImageOptimizer.php\` - Image compression/optimisation
- Video thumbnail generation
- Image resizing pipeline
- Temporary file management
- Media conversion queue jobs
**Risk**: Image processing bugs could corrupt user uploads, cause data loss, or create security vulnerabilities (malicious file uploads).
---
#### SEO Package (19 files, 0%)
**Business Impact**: HIGH - Search engine visibility, social sharing
**Untested Components**:
- OG image generation
- Schema.org structured data validation
- Sitemap generation
- Meta tag controllers
**Risk**: SEO bugs directly impact business visibility and traffic. Broken OG images harm social media sharing. Invalid schema.org markup reduces search rankings.
---
#### Storage Package (9 files, 0%)
**Business Impact**: HIGH - Performance, reliability
**Untested Components**:
- \`ResilientRedisStore.php\` - Redis failover logic
- \`TieredCache.php\` - Multi-tier caching
- Circuit breaker pattern implementation
- Cache warming system
**Risk**: Cache failures could cascade to database overload. Circuit breaker bugs could prevent recovery from transient failures. No validation of failover logic.
---
#### Config System (36 files, 3%)
**Business Impact**: MEDIUM - Dynamic configuration
**Untested Components**:
- \`ConfigService.php\` - Config CRUD operations
- \`ConfigResolver.php\` - Config value resolution
- Console commands (8 commands)
- Models: ConfigKey, ConfigValue, ConfigProfile, ConfigVersion
**Risk**: Configuration bugs could break multi-tenancy, prevent feature flag changes, or corrupt config state.
---
### 5.3 Partial Coverage Packages
#### Bouncer (14 files, 21%)
**Current Tests**: 3
**Missing Tests**: 11
**Components**: Security blocking, IP filtering, user agent detection
#### Front Package (266 files, 0.4%)
**Current Tests**: 1 (device detection)
**Note**: Contains many Blade view components that may not require unit tests
**Strategy**: Focus on feature tests for key user flows instead of testing every component
#### Service Package (9 files, 33%)
**Current Tests**: 3
**Missing Tests**: 6
**Components**: Core framework services
---
### 5.4 Well-Tested Reference: Trees Module
**Coverage**: 47% (9 tests for 19 files)
**Test Structure**:
- \`TreePlantingTest.php\` - Feature test for planting functionality
- \`TreeReferralTest.php\` - Feature test for referral system
- \`TreeApiTest.php\` - API endpoint tests
- \`TreeQueueTest.php\` - Queue job tests
- \`AgentDetectionTest.php\` - User agent detection
**Quality Observations**:
- Well-structured feature tests
- Good use of factories and seeders
- Comprehensive assertions
- Tests both happy path and error cases
**Recommendation**: Use Trees module as template for implementing tests in Core packages.
---
## 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)

## 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.
