    echo "All checks passed!\n";
} else {
    echo $report->toConsoleOutput();
}
```

    new ExtensionCheck(['pdo', 'redis', 'imagick']),
    new MemoryLimitCheck(256),
    new DirectoryWritableCheck(['/tmp', '/var/log']),
);

echo $report->toConsoleOutput();
```

            new \PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=app', 'root', '');
            return CheckResult::pass('Database', 'Connection successful');
        } catch (\PDOException $e) {
            return CheckResult::fail('Database', $e->getMessage());
