Enhance LintSpdxCommand with contributor tracking and header normalization
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

Length

  • Length(Validator $validator)

Validates the length of the given input against a given validator.

v::length(v::between(1, 5))->assert('abc');
// Validation passes successfully

v::length(v::greaterThan(5))->assert('abcdef');
// Validation passes successfully

v::length(v::lessThan(5))->assert('abc');
// Validation passes successfully

This validator can be used to validate the length of strings, arrays, and objects that implement the Countable interface.

v::length(v::greaterThanOrEqual(3))->assert([1, 2, 3]);
// Validation passes successfully

v::length(v::equals(0))->assert(new SplPriorityQueue());
// Validation passes successfully

Templates

Length::TEMPLATE_STANDARD

Used when it's possible to get the length of the input.

Mode Template
default The length of
inverted The length of

Length::TEMPLATE_WRONG_TYPE

Mode Template
default {{subject}} must be a countable value or a string
inverted {{subject}} must not be a countable value or a string

Template as prefix

The template serves as a prefix to the template of the inner validator.

v::length(v::equals(3))->assert('tulip');
// → The length of "tulip" must be equal to 3

v::not(v::length(v::equals(4)))->assert('rose');
// → The length of "rose" must not be equal to 4

Length::TEMPLATE_WRONG_TYPE

Used when it's impossible to get the length of the input.

Mode Template
default {{subject}} must be a countable value or a string
inverted {{subject}} must not be a countable value or a string

Template placeholders

Placeholder Description
subject The validated input or the custom validator name (if specified).
