Three follow-ups from CI that the level-4 pass got wrong:
1. `account.php` / `users.php`: `Document::find()` returns `mixed`
(specifically `Document|false` in practice), not `Document`. The
earlier `@var Document $oldTarget` docblocks were lies, and the
runtime `instanceof Document` guards were load-bearing — removing
them caused `Call to a member function isEmpty() on false` 500s
on the `PATCH /v1/users/:id/email` and `/phone` endpoints (and the
analogous `/v1/account/email`, `/v1/account/phone` flows). Dropped
the misleading `@var` docblocks and restored
`$oldTarget instanceof Document && !$oldTarget->isEmpty()`.
2. `Installer/Runtime/Config::setEnabledDatabases()` is a boundary
that actually takes arbitrary user/compose input — not a trusted
`string[]`. The `is_string($v)` filter was covering for that, and
`ConfigTest::testSetEnabledDatabasesFiltersInvalid` explicitly
asserts it. Widened the PHPDoc to `array<mixed>` and restored
`is_string($v) && $v !== ''` in the filter.
3. `OAuth2/Apple::getAppSecret()` wrapped `json_decode` in a
`try/catch (\Throwable)` — but `json_decode` without
`JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR` returns `null` on failure, it doesn't throw.
PHP 8.3's PHPStan flagged the catch as dead (PHP 8.5 didn't, which
is why it slipped through locally). Replaced with
`if (!\is_array($secret)) throw`, which preserves the original
"invalid secret" guard.
Raises `phpstan.neon` level from 3 to 4 and fixes the 549 new errors
that level 4 surfaces across 157 files. Fixes are root-cause — no
`@phpstan-ignore`, no `@var` casts, no baseline entries, no widened
types. A handful of latent bugs were fixed along the way:
- `app/controllers/general.php`: path-traversal guard was negating
`\substr(...)` before the strict comparison (`!\substr(...) === $base`
was always `false === $base`). Rewritten as `\substr(...) !== $base`.
- `src/Appwrite/Platform/Modules/Databases/Http/Databases/Logs/XList.php`
and `.../TablesDB/Logs/XList.php`: were importing the raw Matomo
`DeviceDetector` (whose `getDevice()` returns `?int`) but treating the
result as an array with `deviceName/deviceBrand/deviceModel` keys.
Swapped to `Appwrite\Detector\Detector`, matching the wrapper already
used a few lines below for `$os`/`$client`.
- `src/Appwrite/Platform/Modules/Functions/Workers/Builds.php`: a match
key was checking `$resourceKey === 'functions'` when `$resourceKey`
is `'functionId'|'siteId'` — always false. Switched to the intended
`$resource->getCollection() === 'functions'` check.
- `src/Appwrite/OpenSSL/OpenSSL.php`: `encrypt()` return type tightened
to `string|false` to match `openssl_encrypt`; this lets callers'
`=== false` error handling remain meaningful.
- `app/controllers/api/messaging.php`: removed a dead
`array_key_exists('from', [])` branch in the Msg91 provider (empty
array literal; branch was unreachable).
Large cleanup categories across the 549 fixes:
- Removed redundant `?? default` on array offsets and expressions that
PHPStan now knows are non-nullable.
- Removed unreachable statements (mostly `return;` after `throw` or
`markTestSkipped()`).
- Removed redundant `is_array`/`is_string`/`is_bool`/`instanceof` checks
on already-narrowed types.
- Added `default =>` arms (or throwing arms) to non-exhaustive matches
on `string`/`mixed` input.
- Removed dead `$document === false` branches where method return types
were tightened to non-nullable `Document`.
- Removed unused properties (`$version` on Etsy/Zoom OAuth2, `$paths` on
Installer State, `$source` on MigrationsWorker, `$account2` on two
GraphQL auth tests), unused traits (`ApiVectorsDB`, `DatabaseFixture`),
and an unused `cleanupStaleExecutions` task method.
- Replaced `assertTrue(true)` and redundant `assertIsArray`/`assertIsString`/
`assertNotNull` assertions with `addToAssertionCount(1)` or
`assertNotEmpty` where the runtime type was already known.
The users.php and messaging.php legacy controllers were missing the
userType field in their log output, creating an inconsistency with the
new audit user type distinction feature. Also adds missing mode field
to users.php logs endpoint.

- Introduced a new API endpoint to update user impersonator capability.
- Enhanced user model to include impersonator attributes.
- Updated database schema to support impersonation.
- Implemented impersonation logic in the request handling to allow users with impersonator capability to act as other users.
- Added relevant API documentation for impersonation headers.
This feature allows users with the appropriate permissions to impersonate other users, enhancing flexibility in user management.
Optimize updateDocument() calls across the codebase to pass only changed
attributes as sparse Document objects rather than full documents. This is
more efficient because updateDocument() internally performs array_merge().
Changes:
- Updated 58 files to use sparse Document objects
- Added Performance Patterns section to AGENTS.md with optimization guidelines
- Applied pattern to Workers, Functions, Sites, Teams, VCS modules
- Updated app/controllers/api files (account, users, messaging)
- Updated app infrastructure files (realtime, general, init/resources, shared/api)
Exceptions maintained:
- Migration files (need full document updates by design)
- Cases with 6+ attributes (marginal benefit)
- Complex nested relationship logic
- Upgrade utopia-php/cli from 0.15 to 0.22
- Upgrade utopia-php/analytics from 0.10 to 0.15
- Upgrade utopia-php/orchestration from 0.9 to 0.19
- Use dev branches for utopia-php/framework and utopia-php/platform
- Remove utopia-php/swoole dependency (merged into framework)
- Migrate Utopia\CLI\Console to Utopia\Console across all files
- Migrate Utopia\Http to Utopia\Http\Http namespace
- Migrate Utopia\Swoole\Files to Utopia\Http\Files (now instance-based)
- Convert static CLI::setResource() calls to instance-based Dependency API
- Fix StatsResources task named parameter mismatch
- Extract platform, auth counts, and keys into separate methods
- Add getPlatforms(), getAuthCounts(), and getKeys() methods
- Extract SDK platform logic into getSDKPlatformsForRouteSecurity()
- Add PHPDoc comments with proper type hints
- Move constructor to top of class for better readability
- Add 'public' parameter to SDK Method class to control documentation visibility
- Mark deprecated methods as non-public (public: false) to hide them from docs
- Update OpenAPI and Swagger specs to reflect visibility changes
- Affected endpoints: account verification, messaging providers, and MFA authenticators
