In May 2025, focused on refining the error presentation layer in phpstan/phpstan-src to enhance developer productivity and maintain formatting consistency. The main effort centered on TableErrorFormatter, delivering improved readability of error messages, better presentation of tips, and responsible handling of whitespace and trailing newlines. A prior spacing change was reverted to prevent regressions, ensuring consistent output across scenarios.
