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 69 — FairBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance80 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity60 Solid adoption and visibility Community46 Growing community involvement Maturity79 Established project with proven stability 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.
