Add unit test CI workflow and fix PHPUnit test suite issues

[Copilot]

No CI workflow existed to run unit tests. The test suite also had 11 PHPUnit notices and a PHP 8.3 deprecation causing OK, but there were issues! on every run.

CI Workflow

• New .github/workflows/tests.yml: Runs PHPUnit on push/PR to develop/master with PHP 8.4, Xdebug coverage, and Composer caching

Fix PHPUnit Mock Notices (PlayerModelTest, UserModelTest)

PHPUnit 12 emits a notice when a createMock() object has no expects() call. Two root causes:

• Logger never needs verification → swapped createMock(Logger::class) to createStub(Logger::class) and updated property type to Stub
• setUp mock unused in tests that instantiate their own fresh mock → added #[AllowMockObjectsWithoutExpectations] to those specific test methods

Fix PHP 8.3 Deprecation (includes/functions.php)

srand((float)microtime() * 1000000) was deprecated in PHP 8.3 (float argument). The call was already dead code since the loop beneath it uses random_int(), which is CSPRNG and ignores the srand seed — removed entirely.

Fix composer.json Consistency

• PHP runtime requirement corrected from >=8.4.0 back to >=8.1 to match the installer's enforced minimum
• config.platform.php removed — the platform override that forced Composer to resolve packages as if PHP 8.4.x was the runtime is gone, eliminating the risk of a lockfile incompatible with real PHP 8.1 deployments
• phpunit/phpunit set to ^12.0 (PHPUnit 13 requires PHP ≥8.4.1, incompatible with the PHP 8.1 minimum once the platform override is removed)
• composer test script fixed — replaced broken @putenv XDEBUG_MODE=coverage with XDEBUG_MODE=coverage php vendor/bin/phpunit

Result: OK (36 tests, 73 assertions) — clean, no notices or deprecations.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a GitHub Actions workflow to run the unit test suite in CI and updates the PHPUnit/tooling setup to eliminate PHPUnit notices and a PHP 8.3 deprecation in the test run output.

Changes:

• Added a new CI workflow to run PHPUnit with coverage on pushes/PRs to develop/master.
• Updated unit tests to avoid PHPUnit mock “no expectations” notices (logger as stub + targeted AllowMockObjectsWithoutExpectations).
• Updated PHPUnit configuration and removed deprecated srand() usage in generate_key().
