  • Documentation

    • Revamped README: performance benchmarks, clearer public API overview, Unicode/UTF-8 support, expanded Testing & Quality Assurance, System Requirements, Contributing, and Support.
  • Chores

    • Reworked .gitignore to a deny-by-default approach and expanded ignores for build artifacts, caches, IDE/editor files, AI tooling and system files.
    • Added/configured richer PR automation and auto-review/approval controls.
    • Updated development tooling versions, script descriptions, and package metadata to emphasize performance and Unicode-aware capabilities.

- Implement a deny-all `/*` strategy for enhanced security
- Selectively un-ignore essential files and directories with `!`
- Add explicit sections and documentation for clarity
- Include an explicit deny list for sensitive directories

This whitelist approach provides a secure-by-default configuration,
preventing the accidental commit of sensitive files or local
configurations. It improves repository hygiene and may enhance Git's
performance by optimising traversal patterns.

- Adjust .gitignore to stop ignoring the `.github` directory
- Ensures inclusion of GitHub-specific workflows or configurations in version control

This change improves repository consistency by allowing essential `.github` files to be tracked.
Change /* to * in .gitignore to properly implement whitelist approach.
The /* pattern only denies root-level items, allowing subdirectory
files to be inadvertently tracked. The * pattern correctly denies
all files and directories throughout the repository, ensuring true
whitelist behaviour where only explicitly allowed files are tracked.

This critical security fix prevents accidental commits of sensitive
files that may exist in subdirectories, strengthening the repository's
security posture by enforcing comprehensive file denial by default.

- Enable auto approval when review effort is ≤4
- Enable auto approval when code suggestions tool finds no issues
- Remove manual approval requirement for qualifying PRs
- Maintain security and effort labeling for transparency

This allows Qodo Merge to automatically approve PRs that meet
quality thresholds, streamlining the review process whilst
maintaining code quality standards through automated analysis.

Signed-off-by: Marjo van Lier <marjo.vanlier@gmail.com>
Move auto approval settings to [config] section per official docs:
- Enable auto approval for PRs with review effort ≤3
- Enable manual approval via /review auto_approve comments
- Enable auto approval when improve tool finds no suggestions

PR Review Complete ✅

Reviewed PR #53: "Enhance repository configuration and documentation"

Review Checklist

  • Read and analyze .gitignore changes (whitelist security pattern)
  • Review .pr_agent.toml configuration updates
  • Examine README.md documentation improvements
  • Check composer.json metadata changes
  • Assess code quality and best practices
  • Identify potential bugs or security issues
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Review test coverage implications
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Security Review ⚠️

.gitignore Security Concerns

The whitelist approach in .gitignore is potentially problematic:

Critical Issue: The pattern * followed by selective ! rules creates a high-maintenance system that could easily lead to:

  • Important files being accidentally excluded if not explicitly whitelisted
  • New developers struggling to understand why their files aren't being tracked
  • Risk of configuration drift when new file types are introduced

Recommendation: Consider a hybrid approach instead:

# Standard blacklist for common items
vendor/
node_modules/
*.tmp
.env*

# Explicitly deny sensitive directories  
.claude/
.qodo/

This provides security benefits without the maintenance burden of a full whitelist.

Code Quality Assessment ✅

.pr_agent.toml Configuration

Strengths:

  • Well-structured automation configuration
  • Appropriate auto-approval thresholds (auto_approve_for_low_review_effort = 3)
  • Good security settings (enable_review_labels_security = true)

Minor Concern:

  • Line 58-70: Complex multi-line auto_review command may be hard to maintain
  • Consider breaking into separate commands for readability

composer.json Updates

Excellent improvements:

  • Enhanced package description clearly communicates performance benefits
  • Comprehensive scripts-descriptions provide great developer experience
  • Proper version constraints for dependencies
  • Good use of semantic versioning patterns

Security: ✅ roave/security-advisories properly configured

Documentation Quality 📖

README.md Enhancements

Strengths:

  • Performance benchmarks table is excellent - provides concrete metrics
  • Clear structure with table of contents
  • Docker testing instructions align with CLAUDE.md requirements
  • Comprehensive examples for each feature

Areas for improvement:

  • Consider adding error handling examples in usage sections
  • The chaining example (lines 175-180) could benefit from explaining when to use this pattern vs. individual calls

Performance Considerations 🚀

Positive:

  • Performance claims (2-5x improvements) are well-documented with specific ops/sec metrics
  • O(n) algorithm emphasis demonstrates performance awareness
  • Benchmark methodology is clearly stated

Question for author: Are these benchmarks reproducible? Consider adding benchmark scripts to the repo for validation.

Test Coverage Impact ✅

No negative impact identified:

  • Changes are primarily configuration and documentation
  • No functional code changes that would affect existing test coverage
  • Docker testing recommendations actually improve testing reliability

Overall Assessment

Verdict: ✅ APPROVE with minor recommendations

This PR significantly improves repository documentation and developer experience. The performance benchmarks and enhanced package description are particularly valuable.

Key Strengths:

  • Comprehensive performance documentation
  • Enhanced developer experience with Docker testing
  • Professional package metadata
  • Well-configured automation tools

Recommendations:

  1. Reconsider the full whitelist .gitignore approach - hybrid model may be more maintainable
  2. Consider breaking down complex auto_review command in .pr_agent.toml
  3. Add benchmark scripts for performance claim validation

The changes maintain 100% backward compatibility as claimed and provide significant value to the development workflow.

Avoid brittle exact QA metrics

Hard-coding exact counts (e.g., 166 tests, 100% coverage, 88% MSI) will quickly
drift as the code evolves. Soften these to approximations or reference
badges/reports to avoid inaccurate claims that can mislead users.

Performance claims and ops/sec metrics are strong; consider linking to benchmark methodology, hardware specs, and reproducible scripts to substantiate results and help users reproduce.

## Performance Benchmarks

The library has undergone extensive performance tuning, resulting in **2-5x speed improvements** through O(n)
optimisation algorithms. Our benchmarks demonstrate the library's capability to handle high-volume data processing
efficiently:

| Method            | Performance          | Optimisation Technique          |
|-------------------|----------------------|---------------------------------|
| `removeAccents()` | **981,436+ ops/sec** | Hash table lookups with strtr() |
| `searchWords()`   | **387,231+ ops/sec** | Single-pass combined mapping    |
| `nameFix()`       | **246,197+ ops/sec** | Consolidated regex operations   |

*Benchmarks measured on standard development environments. Actual performance may vary based on hardware, string length,

Code Review

This pull request significantly enhances the repository's configuration and documentation. The move to a whitelist .gitignore is a great security improvement, and the README.md and composer.json updates provide much better information for developers. I have one suggestion for the .gitignore file to make the whitelisting even more secure by being more specific about allowed file types in the src and tests directories.

… security

Make whitelist patterns more specific by changing:
- !src/** → !src/**/*.php
- !tests/** → !tests/**/*.php

This prevents accidental commits of temporary files, local configs,
or other unwanted content in source directories.

45-46: PHP constraint is effectively “>=8.3.0” and unintentionally allows PHP 9

">=8.3.0|>=8.4.0" simplifies to >=8.3.0. If you intend to support only 8.x, use caret ranges to avoid auto-admitting 9.x when it lands.

18-24: Benchmark claims need reproducibility and scope clarifications

Great to see the 2–5× figures, but please add:

  • hardware/OS, PHP version, extensions, and ini flags (e.g., JIT, Xdebug/PCOV)
  • baseline and commit/Tag used for “before vs after”
  • the tool (phpbench/in-house) and command to run
  • a link/path to the benchmark script(s)

This keeps the claim auditable and avoids future drift.

Apply this doc tweak to add a “Benchmark methodology” subsection:

231-243: Fix markdownlint issues and align coverage claim with tooling

  • Remove trailing punctuation in heading.
  • Adjust nested list indentation to 2 spaces.
  • The doc claims “100% code coverage”, but composer test:phpunit is run with --no-coverage. Either (a) soften the claim or (b) add a coverage-enabled script and reference it.
-### Our Quality Suite Includes:
+### Our Quality Suite Includes

+  - PHPStan (level max, strict rules)
+  - Psalm (level 1, 99.95% type coverage)

Option A (doc softening):

-- **PHPUnit**: 166 comprehensive tests with 100% code coverage ensuring functional correctness
+- **PHPUnit**: 166 comprehensive tests (high coverage; full coverage available via the coverage suite) ensuring functional correctness

246-251: “Enabled declare(strict_types=1)” is not a system requirement

This is a code directive applied per file, not something users must “enable” globally. Suggest moving to a “Coding Standards”/“Development Practices” section or drop it.

-- **Enabled `declare(strict_types=1);`** for robust type safety

37-52: Consistency check: British vs American English

You use “Optimisation/Standardises” (UK) throughout. That’s fine—ensure it’s consistent across README and composer.json to avoid mixed tone.

.gitignore (3)

20-38: Allow-lists look solid; consider .dist variants and fixtures

To avoid accidental exclusion of common config/fixtures, consider allowing typical “.dist” files and data under src/tests.

 !*.php
 !composer.json
 !LICENSE
+!phpunit.xml.dist
+!phpcs.xml.dist
+!phpstan.neon.dist
+!psalm.xml.dist
+!phpmd.xml.dist
+!pint.json.dist
+!infection.json5.dist

39-58: GitHub and CI blocks are good; add .editorconfig (optional)

If you use EditorConfig for consistent formatting, unignore it explicitly.

 !.github/
 !.github/**
 !.pre-commit-config.yaml
 !.codacy.yaml
+!.editorconfig

84-90: Minor: commit template filename

If you rely on a commit message template, ensure .gitmessage is indeed the configured path (git config commit.template .gitmessage). Otherwise, consider documenting or removing.

.pr_agent.toml (2)

47-73: Push-time auto-review block is aggressive; scope it

Running auto-review on every push can spam threads and consume CI minutes. Consider enabling only on PR open/reopen or when labeled.

-handle_push_trigger = true
+handle_push_trigger = false

21-28: Keep extra_instructions consistent across push command

Your push auto_review sets --pr_reviewer.extra_instructions='', which overrides the global concise/actionable guidance. Unless intentional, remove that override.

-       --pr_reviewer.extra_instructions='' \
+       --pr_reviewer.extra_instructions='Please ensure comments are concise and actionable.' \
composer.json (4)

48-57: Prefer caret constraints for dev tools to avoid unintended major bumps

Using >= may pull breaking majors over time. For reproducible CI, prefer caret ranges on known good versions.

-    "laravel/pint": ">=1.24.0",
-    "phan/phan": ">=5.5.1",

102-106: Align coverage claims with scripts

Docs claim 100% coverage, but test:phpunit disables coverage. Either soften the doc (see README comment) or add a coverage-enabled script and reference it from README.

   "scripts": {
@@
-    "test:phpunit": "phpunit --no-coverage --no-logging",
+    "test:phpunit": "phpunit --no-coverage --no-logging",
+    "test:phpunit-coverage": "XDEBUG_MODE=coverage phpunit --coverage-text --coverage-clover=coverage.xml",

Also applies to: 71-75


77-81: Post-update commands may be noisy/slow in CI

Running composer outdated -D on every composer update can slow pipelines and add noise. Consider moving to a separate CI job or guard with an env flag.

-      "composer outdated -D"
+      "if [ -n \"$CI_OUTDATED\" ]; then composer outdated -D; fi"

3-3: Keep language variant consistent with README

README uses UK English (“Optimisation”). Mirror that in the description for consistency or switch both to US—just be consistent.

8-16: Whitelist pattern is correctly structured

Good job flipping to a deny-by-default with * and restoring traversal via !*/. This avoids the common “cannot descend into dirs” trap.


95-106: Re-ignoring vendor/node_modules after the allowlist is correct

Placing these ignores after the !*.php rule ensures dependencies remain ignored even if they contain PHP files.


120-130: Sensitive/AI tooling ignore list

Looks intentional. Just confirm no essential build assets live under these directories, as the whitelist will otherwise drop them from commits.
