- `npm run env:stop`: Stop the environment
- `npm run env:clean`: Clean the environment
- `npm run env:start:fresh`: Start a fresh environment

- PHPStan for static analysis
- Composer for dependency management

Available commands:

- `composer cs`: Run coding standards check
- `composer cs-fix`: Fix coding standards issues

Advanced Usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

### Process-specific Cache Management

[](#process-specific-cache-management)

For managing the cache within a single PHP process (without affecting the drop-in file):

```
global $wp_object_cache;

// Enable cache for current process
$wp_object_cache->resurrect();

// Disable cache for current process
$wp_object_cache->die();

// Flush cache for current process
$wp_object_cache->flush();
```

This approach is useful when you need to temporarily enable/disable the cache for specific operations without affecting the global cache state.
