Stout Core - Framework Documentation
====================================

[](#stout-core---framework-documentation)

This is the core library of the **Stout PHP Framework**, a lightweight, opinionated, dependency-injection-first framework built on top of the Slim 4 HTTP engine, PHP-DI, and Spiral RoadRunner.

---

Technical Overview
------------------

[](#technical-overview)

Stout enforces strict type safety (PHPStan Level 10), explicit constructor-based dependency injection, and zero-magic architecture.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

There is no CLI binary. Instead, your entrypoint file (e.g. `app.php`) is responsible for booting the application and deciding how to run based on the PHP SAPI:
