Conflicting property types composed from two traits

Group: Cross-analyzer regressions · Category: regression · File: regressions_trait_property_type_conflict.php

LeftTrait::$prop is string and RightTrait::$prop is int. Composing both into one class is a compile-time fatal error in PHP ("traits define the same property … the definition differs and is considered incompatible"). Analyzers diverge on whether they report this statically. PHPStan is silent even though the program cannot run. Tools that only complain about a missing constructor (Psalm, pzoom, mir) are still a hit for this row: they saw the composition, just not the incompatibility. Source lead: Mago analyzer test trait_property_type_conflicts.

Notes: 0.89.0 reports CompileError (MIR1401, trait-property-conflict) at the class `use` line, in addition to MissingConstructor. The test wants exactly one conflict-tagged error per marked line.
