June 2025: Delivered a focused bug fix to the JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs repository to improve runtime safety and static analysis for DOM APIs. The key deliverable corrected the DOMElement.attributes type hint by removing 'null' from the possible types, ensuring attributes is always a DOMNamedNodeMap. Commit: 2ab9e6c394a8d7e9a875eda858dd6de9e55fcf5b. Impact: reduces runtime errors in DOM-related code and tightens type contracts for downstream tooling and IDE features. Skills demonstrated include PHP typing discipline, static analysis alignment (LanguageLevelTypeAware), and disciplined Git-based change management.
