This commit introduces a mechanism for validators to return early once
the validation outcome is determined, rather than evaluating all child
validators.
The ShortCircuit validator evaluates validators sequentially and stops
at the first failure, similar to how PHP's && operator works. This is
useful when later validators depend on earlier ones passing, or when
you want only the first error message.
The ShortCircuitCapable interface allows composite validators (AllOf,
AnyOf, OneOf, NoneOf, Each, All) to implement their own short-circuit
logic.
Why "ShortCircuit" instead of "FailFast":
The name "FailFast" was initially considered but proved misleading.
While AllOf stops on failure (fail fast), AnyOf stops on success
(succeed fast), and OneOf stops on the second success. The common
behavior is not about failing quickly, but about returning as soon as
the outcome is determined—which is exactly what short-circuit
evaluation means. This terminology is familiar to developers from
boolean operators (&& and ||), making the behavior immediately
understandable.

I ran the `bin/console spdx --fix` with different strategies for
different files. For most of the core classes, since they've been
drastically rebuilt, I've run it with the `git-blame` strategy, for for
the `src/Validators`, in which the API changed completely but the logic
remains the same, I use the `git-log` strategy.
Improves SPDX header linting to ensure consistent license metadata across
the codebase.
Key changes:
- Enforce deterministic tag ordering (License-Identifier, FileCopyrightText,
FileContributor) to ensure consistency, prevent merge conflicts, and
simplify code reviews
- Add contributor alias mapping to consolidate contributors with multiple
emails or name variations (e.g., "nickl-" → "Nick Lombard")
- Add --contributions-strategy option with "blame" (current code authors)
and "log" (all historical contributors) to support different attribution
philosophies
- Add optional path argument to lint specific files or directories
- Add --fix option to automatically correct header issues

Introduces a Markdown linter for checking the Changelog format.
"See Also" was transformed into a section to make it easier to
handle it with the `Content` class. The "Related" linter was
simplified to reflect that change too.
An additional "alignment" parameter was added to markdown table
generators, allowing the padding and headers to be explicitly
marked with a specific left (-1), middle (0) or right(1)
alignment.
Existing files were fixed using the `fix` option after the
changes.
This commit introduces REUSE compliance by annotating all files
with SPDX information and placing the reused licences in the
LICENSES folder.
We additionally removed the docheader tool which is made obsolete
by this change.
The main LICENSE and copyright text of the project is now not under
my personal name anymore, and it belongs to "The Respect Project
Contributors" instead.
This change restores author names to several files, giving the
appropriate attribution for contributions.
There's more value on showing how `assert()` displays the validation
messages than simply showing if `isValid()` returns `true` or `false`.
However, that increases the chances of having outdated documentation, so
I created a doc linter that updates the Markdown files with the
correct message.
