2.2.0

What’s new

• Add a PHPStan extension for access through invade($object), with automatic registration through phpstan/extension-installer and support for PHPStan 1.12 and 2.x.
• Preserve property types and method signatures, including generic and inherited members, static / $this return types, and subclasses of Invader.
• Keep invalid property writes, readonly writes, inaccessible parent-private members, and unsupported static-call syntax visible to analysis.

Thanks to @SanderMuller for the contribution in #53.

Compatibility and tooling

• PHP 8.2 or later is now required; support for end-of-life PHP 8.0 and 8.1 has been dropped. Existing runtime APIs are unchanged.
• Update development tooling to Pest 3/4 and test PHP 8.2–8.5 with lowest and latest compatible dependencies.
• Union types must be narrowed to a concrete class. The string-based StaticInvader API does not infer member types through this extension.

Validation

All eight local PHP/dependency combinations pass: 9 Pest tests, 13 assertions, and clean PHPStan source/type checks. The new type regressions produce 9 failures on the original PR implementation and none after the fixes. Extension auto-registration was verified with PHPStan 1 and 2. GitHub Actions remained queued; this release was approved by the maintainer based on local verification.
