PHP 8.4 allows declaring properties in interfaces using property hooks. Wire the property support through the descriptor layer and templates: - Accept InterfaceInterface in PropertyDescriptor::setParent() - Add property collection to InterfaceInterface and InterfaceDescriptor - Assemble properties in InterfaceAssembler - Display properties in the default interface template Depends on phpDocumentor/Reflection#739. Fixes phpDocumentor#4061

Replace manual property methods with the HasProperties trait, keeping only the overridden getInheritedProperties() to handle interface multi-parent inheritance. Point composer to the reflection fork branch that adds Interface_::getProperties() to fix PHPStan.

I merged your changes in reflection a new versio (6.6.0) contains the fixes. |
InterfaceDescriptor uses the HasProperties trait but does not implement ChildInterface, so the parent recursion branch in getMagicProperties() is unreachable for it. PHPStan still observes the always-false instanceof while analysing the trait in that context; a scoped ignoreError documents why the report is expected.
…-parent inheritance
- Wrap Constants/Properties/Methods ToC links in {% if X is not empty %}
to match class.html.twig and stop emitting dangling anchors for empty
sections.
- Replace 'constants.deprecated' with 'constant.deprecated' inside the
Constants loop (the loop variable is the singular form).
- Add a unit test covering getInheritedProperties() with multiple parent
interfaces, which is unique to interfaces (extends A, B).
