This PHPStan rule will help you detect unsafe function call and will propose you to use the `thecodingmachine/safe` variant instead. Please read [thecodingmachine/safe documentation](https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe) for details about installation and usage. ### Health Score 74 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance97 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity60 Solid adoption and visibility Community47 Growing community involvement Maturity81 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
