Part of the fleet-wide move to Nextcloud's coding standard. Recipe proven on nextcloud-app-template#142; enforced from ConductionNL/.github@main by gate-65 coding-standard-adoption, which this app fails today and passes with this PR.

Policy: Conduction code must pass Nextcloud's own checks unchanged. We may be stricter, never different.

Three commits, deliberately separated

chore: config the whole review
style: reformat 476 files, whitespace only — not worth reading line by line
chore: blame-ignore .git-blame-ignore-revs naming the reformat

What changed

  • .php-cs-fixer.dist.php + conduction/coding-standard, which extends nextcloud/coding-standard and can only add to it — enforced by that package's invariant test, not by review.
  • cs:check / cs:fix now actually run php-cs-fixer. They were aliases for phpcs/phpcbf, so the documented Nextcloud command reformatted code away from Nextcloud's standard.
  • nextcloud/coding-standard dropped as a direct dependency — it arrives transitively at a tested version. Declared directly it was a dead dependency with no config file and no invocation anywhere.
  • phpcs.xml is a stub over the shared semantics-only ruleset; the local phpcs-custom-sniffs/ copy is gone. The fleet was carrying six divergent versions of NamedParametersSniff.php — a custom rule, not a setting.
  • .editorconfig, verbatim from nextcloud/server. No fleet app had one.
  • NC 34: nextcloud/ocp^34.0, PHPUnit → stable34. This app declared support for NC 34 while being analysed against 31, so a symbol removed in 32/33/34 was invisible to the type checker — which is why the NC 34 removal of \OC::$server needed a hand-written sniff.
  • stylelint glob quoted, so stylelint expands it rather than the shell. Unquoted, src/**/ matches exactly one directory level and nested components go unlinted.

Verification

Reformatted with a shared php-cs-fixer across all 18 apps: 9,656 files, 0 remaining findings anywhere. Every changed PHP file re-linted with php -l.

Expect red

This app's base branch already fails several quality jobs, and moving to NC 34 will surface more. That is intended — the point is to align with Nextcloud, not to keep the board green.

Configuration only. The reformat is the next commit on purpose, so
.git-blame-ignore-revs can name a revision containing nothing but whitespace.

- .php-cs-fixer.dist.php + conduction/coding-standard, which extends
  nextcloud/coding-standard and can only ADD to it — enforced by that package's
  invariant test, not by review.
- cs:check / cs:fix now run php-cs-fixer. They were aliases for phpcs/phpcbf,
  so the documented Nextcloud command reformatted code AWAY from Nextcloud's
  standard.
- nextcloud/coding-standard dropped as a direct dependency. It arrives
  transitively at a version conduction/coding-standard has tested against;
  declared directly it was a dead dependency with no config and no invocation.
- phpcs.xml is now a stub over the shared semantics-only ruleset, and the local
  phpcs-custom-sniffs/ copy is gone. The fleet was carrying six divergent
  versions of NamedParametersSniff.php — a custom RULE, not a setting.
- .editorconfig, verbatim from nextcloud/server. No fleet app had one, so an
  editor configured by someone's previous Nextcloud work defaulted to tabs,
  which the old ruleset then rejected.
- nextcloud/ocp -> ^34.0 and PHPUnit -> stable34. This app declared support for
  NC 34 while being analysed against 31, so a symbol REMOVED in 32/33/34 was
  invisible to the type checker. That is why the NC 34 removal of \OC::$server
  needed a hand-written PHPCS sniff.
- the stylelint glob is quoted, so stylelint expands it rather than the shell.
  Unquoted, src/**/ matches exactly one directory level and nested components
  are silently unlinted.

gate-65 (coding-standard-adoption) enforces all of the above from
ConductionNL/.github@main. This app failed it; with this commit it passes.
Applied by php-cs-fixer with conduction/coding-standard. Tabs, same-line braces,
(int)$x, single-space concatenation, ordered imports — Nextcloud's dialect, which
this app now passes unchanged. 476 file(s), no behaviour change.

Isolated from the configuration change so .git-blame-ignore-revs can name a
revision that touches nothing but formatting. Reviewing it line by line is not a
useful activity; the previous commit is the review.
46e028e touches 476 files and changes no behaviour. Without this, every line it
reflowed attributes to it and the real author is one --skip away.

GitHub honours the file automatically; locally it needs
`git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs` once.

The previous commit changed composer.json without touching the lock, so
`composer install` refused with exit 4 and EVERY PHP job failed:

    Required (in require-dev) package "conduction/coding-standard" is not
    present in the lock file.
    Required (in require-dev) package "conduction/hydra-gates" is not present
    in the lock file.
    Required (in require-dev) package "nextcloud/ocp" is in the lock file as
    "v31.0.9" but that does not satisfy your constraint "^34.0".

Nothing was wrong with the reformat or the ruleset — the jobs never got as far
as running a tool. Measured on larpingapp#313 before this fix: phpcs, psalm,
phpstan and both PHPUnit legs red, all of them at `composer install`. Hydra
Gates passed in the same run, because it does not install composer
dependencies.

Now locked at conduction/coding-standard v1.0.0, conduction/hydra-gates v1.7.0,
nextcloud/ocp v34.0.2 — the last of which is the point of the exercise: this app
declares support for NC 34 and is now analysed against it.

The App Store's info.xsd declares <info> and its children as xs:sequence, so
element ORDER is significant. This file was rejected by
`xmllint --noout --schema info.xsd appinfo/info.xml`. Nextcloud's
lint-info-xml workflow validates against exactly that schema, and
ConductionNL/.github#383 adds the same check to the shared pipeline.

Elements were moved into the schema's order. <version> and the <nextcloud>
min/max-version declaration are unchanged.

<commands> now precedes <settings>, and <navigations> follows <activity>;
inside <repair-steps>, <post-migration> precedes <install> (the schema's order
is pre-migration, post-migration, live-migration, install, uninstall - it does
not reflect execution order, which Nextcloud selects by event).

Two content fixes were unavoidable, as neither is an ordering problem.

<types><search/></types> is not a valid app type at any position: the schema
allows only prelogin, filesystem, authentication, extended_authentication,
logging, dav, prevent_group_restriction and session, and Nextcloud does
nothing with an unrecognised one. Unified search is already wired properly -
Application.php calls registerSearchProvider(LaunchPadSearchProvider) - so the
element was decorative. Replaced by a comment pointing at that registration.

<activity><provider> had to be wrapped in <providers>. The direct child is
what the schema rejects, and Nextcloud reads the provider list from
$info['activity']['providers']['provider'], so the Activity provider
(REQ-ACT-001) was in fact not being registered at all. The wrapping is
therefore a behaviour change: OCA\LaunchPad\Activity\Extension now actually
registers, which is what the requirement asked for.

Verified: `xmllint --noout --schema info.xsd appinfo/info.xml` reports
"validates" (libxml2 2.12.10). The pre-change file failed the same command.

dev-master has advanced to the Nextcloud 35 development stubs, where
ISchemaWrapper::createTable()/getTable() return the new
OCP\DB\Schema\ITable (@SInCE 35.0.0) rather than being documented as
returning \Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table. That made PHPStan report 17
genuine parameter-type mismatches in the Migration table builders, which
type-hint Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table.

The app declares <nextcloud min-version="32" max-version="34"/>, so
analysing against NC 35 development stubs was wrong regardless. Pinning
to ^34.0 matches the constraint used by every other app in this
migration (softwarecatalog, hermiq, pipelinq) and by the merged
reference larpingapp#313.

PHPStan is now clean; no application code changes.
The previous run produced zero jobs and concluded failure: it started
inside the window where ConductionNL/.github@main carried the broken
quality.yml splice from b745bf2f, repaired at 4118bca8. Nothing in this
PR touches the workflow.

OCP\ICache is untyped on every Nextcloud version this app supports —
'get($key)', 'set($key, $value, $ttl = 0)', 'hasKey($key)',
'remove($key)', 'clear($prefix = "")' — identical in server stable32 and
stable34. The three in-test fakes narrowed every parameter to string/int,
which PHP rejects as an incompatible declaration:

  PHP Fatal error: Declaration of Unit\Activity\FakeDebounceCache::get(
  string $key) must be compatible with OCP\ICache::get($key)

They only ever loaded because the app resolved nextcloud/ocp at
dev-master, which has advanced to the NC 35 development stubs where
ICache::get() IS typed. Pinning ocp to ^34.0 lines the stub up with the
servers this app actually declares support for, and the fakes then have to
line up too. Return types are left in place — widening a parent's absent
return type is covariant and legal.

Parameter types only; no test behaviour changes. The three affected files
run green: OK (39 tests, 80 assertions).
