Guess which plugin ended up with a noble score of 1 out of 100 (performance, security, and code quality)? 🤣
Quite a neat dashboard this is! Here's the whole story:

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Robbert Müller.
We've come to know Robbert as an avid open source contributor, passionate (co-)maintainer of the PHP_CodeSniffer Composer Installer project and allround nice human.
May peace be with him.

For everyone who suggested tools to me, thank you very much. After some workarounds, we ended up using these tools:
- PHPStan and Larastan
- PHP_CodeSniffer with PHPCompatibility
- and @rectorphp

My team and I will be upgrading Laravel from version 9 to the latest version. Do you have any suggestions for tools we can use to check dependencies and code that might potentially break due to the changes?
