• New Mutation Tests workflow runs Infection with the Testo adapter on PHP 8.4 + Xdebug for PRs and pushes to 1.x; pushes to 1.x publish the report to the Stryker dashboard (needs the STRYKER_DASHBOARD_API_KEY secret), and the README gets the mutation badge.
• Local run: 162 mutants, 141 killed, 21 escaped — MSI 87%, covered MSI 87%, mutation code coverage 100%. The gate is --min-msi=85.

Review notes

• Infection is installed in the job via composer require --dev infection/infection testo/bridge-infection (not added to composer.json), not as a Phar: the Phar (0.35.6) bundles testo/bridge-infection, but the adapter's generated bootstrap calls \Infection\StreamWrapper\IncludeInterceptor as a string literal, which php-scoper does not rewrite to Infected\.... Every mutant then dies with "class not found", Infection counts those errors as killed, and the MSI reads a false 100%. Once the adapter builds the class name from IncludeInterceptor::class, the workflow can switch to tools: infection.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Added automated mutation testing for pull requests and pushes to the 1.x branch, with an 85% minimum mutation score.
  • Added a mutation testing badge linking to the 1.x report in the README.

The workflow leaves its checkout credential available to later dependency and mutation-test code. Restrict credential persistence and token permissions before relying on the job; same-repository and push token scope is not specified here.
