Phpactor

As Phactor language server is now in it's 10th year, I thought it deserved some stickers. If you contribute or sponsor send a DM and I'll send you some #php

The #zed editor uses me as it's default language server for PHP - after playing with it briefly I can confirm that it's highly user friendly and the VIM mode is actually pretty decent.

Phpactor 2024.11.05.0 released:

https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor/releases/tag/2024.11.05.0

First release since many months, quite some bug fixes and improvements and adds support for `@{phpstan-psalm}-assert` - which is good news for your PHPUnit `self::assertInstanceOf` calls.

Have added support for `@phpstan-assert` and `@psalm-assert` to master.

https://psalm.dev/docs/annotating_code/assertion_syntax/

*My* main benefit being getting type inference from PHPUnit `self::assertInstanceOf`and friends, next up would be `assert-if-true|false`...
