[Bug]: Parse error in discover-{uuid}

[snapey]

Extension Version

1.2.1

PHP Binary

Herd

Operating System

macOS

What happened?

I'm being dogged by an error in a discover- file

Error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'protected' (T_PROTECTED), expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /Users/mark/sites/rotarota/rotarota/vendor/_laravel_ide/discover-77e9e6a2445455b87d4f4cd834e4e23d.php on line 75

which is the __construct below.

$docblocks = new class($factory) {
    public function __construct(protected $factory) {}

    public function forMethod($method)

The CLI and webserver are both running php 8.4

I have noticed another error message that indicates the problem

This from the OUTPUT window in VScode

Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.3.0". You are running 7.4.33. in /Users/mark/sites/rotarota/rotarota/vendor/composer/platform_check.php:26

This is I think why the extension does not like running the discover file.

I'm running herd. PHP 8.2 or 8.4 depending on the project.

The version in my zsh terminal within vscode is running the same version.
Bash terminal says php 8.4

I have no idea why php 7.4 is being used by the plugin.
