This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Tijd voor de test is a PHP/Symfony 8.1 application for managing quizzes in the style of Wie is de Mol? (WIDM) — a Dutch TV show where contestants try to identify a saboteur ("de Mol") among them. At the end of each episode, participants take a quiz about the Mol's identity and actions; the candidate with the least correct answers is eliminated. This app replicates that quiz format with:

• Test creation with variable question counts
• Season management with active test controls
• Candidate answer tracking with automatic timing
• Elimination tracking with joker adjustments
• Backoffice management for quiz administration and statistics

Tech Stack:

• Framework: Symfony 8.1
• PHP: 8.5+
• Database: PostgreSQL 16
• ORM: Doctrine
• Server: FrankenPHP with Caddy
• Container: Docker Compose
• Frontend: Twig templates with SASS (via asset mapper)
• Testing: PHPUnit 13 with DAMA Doctrine test bundle

Build & Development Commands

All commands assume Docker is running. The project uses a Justfile as the primary interface.

Essential Commands

just up           # Start Docker services (PHP, PostgreSQL)
just stop         # Stop services
just down         # Stop and remove containers/orphans
just shell        # Interactive shell inside the PHP container
just shell-run    # Shell in a fresh one-off container

Database

just migrate                  # Run Doctrine migrations (starts services first)
just fixtures                 # Load dev fixtures (truncates first)
just reload-tests             # Drop/recreate test DB, migrate, load test fixtures

Testing

just test                                  # Run full PHPUnit suite
just test tests/Path/To/TestFile.php       # Run a specific test file
just test --coverage-html var/coverage     # Generate HTML coverage report

Code Quality & Linting

just fix-cs                        # Auto-fix PHP-CS-Fixer + Twig-CS-Fixer
just phpstan                       # PHPStan static analysis (level 9)
just phpstan --no-progress         # Without progress output
just rector                        # Apply Rector modernizations
just rector --dry-run              # Preview Rector changes

Other

just translations   # Extract/update nl translation strings
just clean          # Nuke containers (volumes) + all generated files (prompts for confirmation)
just trust-cert     # Trust the local Caddy TLS certificate (macOS)
just exec <cmd>     # Run any command inside the PHP container

All code quality checks run in CI/CD (.github/workflows/ci.yml) and should pass before merging.

Core Domain Entities

• Season: Groups quizzes and candidates for a specific period, with a linked SeasonSettings.
• Quiz: A test within a season containing multiple Questions, each with multiple Answers.
• Candidate: A participant in the season.
• QuizCandidate: Represents a candidate's attempt at a specific quiz (tracks start/end time).
• GivenAnswer: The specific answer a candidate selected during a quiz.
• Elimination: Records red/green screens and forced results with joker adjustments.
• User: Administrative accounts for managing the system.

Architecture Notes

Routing

• Routes are attribute-based (PHP 8 attributes in controller methods)
• Configured in config/routes/attributes.yaml for automatic discovery
• Main entry point: config/routes.yaml

Service Container & Dependency Injection

• Services in src/ are automatically registered via PSR-4 namespace Tvdt\
• Exclusions: Entity, DependencyInjection, Kernel classes
• Autowiring and autoconfiguration enabled by default
• Service definitions in config/services.yaml

Database & Migrations

• PostgreSQL-based with Doctrine ORM
• Migrations in migrations/ at project root, namespace DoctrineMigrations (intentionally not autoloaded); generate with bin/console make:migration
• Test fixtures in src/DataFixtures/ (loaded with --group=test)
• Test database configured separately via .env.test

Testing Infrastructure

• PHPUnit 13 with DAMA Doctrine Test Bundle for transaction rollback
• Bootstrap: tests/bootstrap.php loads env vars and autoloader; tests/symfony-container.php boots the test kernel/container (used by Rector)
• Symfony test utilities (BrowserKit, CSS selectors) available
• Coverage excluded from: src/DataFixtures/
• Test environment: APP_ENV=test (set in phpunit.dist.xml)

Code Style & Standards

• PHP-CS-Fixer: Symfony ruleset + risky rules enabled
  • Strict types declaration required
  • Trailing commas in multiline structures
  • No else-only blocks
• Rector: Aggressive modernization with all attribute sets + prepared sets (dead code, code quality, Doctrine, Symfony, PHPUnit)
• PHPStan: Level 8 with extensions for Doctrine and Symfony
• Twig-CS-Fixer: Template style enforcement
• Safe functions: Use thecodingmachine/safe wrappers for standard PHP functions that return false on failure — they throw exceptions instead

Environment Configuration

• .env - Local development defaults (uncommitted in .env.local)
• .env.dev - Development overrides
• .env.test - Test environment configuration
• Production uses composer dump-env prod for compiled configuration
• Key variables:
  • APP_ENV - Environment (dev/test/prod)
  • DATABASE_URL - PostgreSQL connection string
  • MAILER_SENDER - From address for emails

Frontend Build

• Asset mapper (no Node.js/Webpack) for JS/CSS bundling; JS modules declared in importmap.php
• Stimulus controllers in assets/controllers/, Turbo for SPA-like navigation
• Sass sources in assets/styles/, compiled via bin/console sass:build
• Production: Assets precompiled during Docker build
• Development: Watch mode enabled in FrankenPHP container

CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml):

1. Linting: Dockerfile (hadolint), Twig templates
2. Code Quality:
   • PHP-CS-Fixer style check
   • Twig-CS-Fixer style check
   • PHPStan static analysis
   • Rector dry-run
3. Integration Tests:
   • Docker image build and start services
   • Database creation and migration
   • Fixture loading
   • Full PHPUnit test suite with JUnit XML output
   • Doctrine schema validation
4. Build & Deploy (on tags or main, disabled currently):
   • Docker image push to GitHub Container Registry
   • Sentry release creation
   • Portainer webhook trigger for production deployment

Runs on all pushes to main and pull requests. Concurrency cancels old runs on new commits.

Important Files & Conventions

• Kernel: src/Kernel.php - Symfony kernel class
• AbstractController: Base class for all controllers — defines route parameter regexes (SEASON_CODE_REGEX, CANDIDATE_HASH_REGEX) and flash helpers
• Flash Messages: Use FlashType enum instead of string literals
• QuizSpreadsheetService: Handles importing quizzes from XLSX files
• Rector container: tests/symfony-container.php — boots a test kernel so Rector can resolve Symfony service types
• .gitignore: Excludes var/, vendor/, .env.local, .phpunit.cache
• Dockerfile: Multi-stage build with dev/prod separation, FrankenPHP-based
• Docker Compose: PHP service with Caddy, PostgreSQL database, persistent volumes

Security & Authorization

• Doctrine extensions enabled (timestamps, slugs, etc.)
• Voter-based authorization in src/Security/Voter/
• User entity with security encoding configured
• CSRF protection enabled
• Email verification available via SymfonyCasts bundle

Composer Scripts

Auto-executed scripts on install/update:

• cache:clear - Symfony cache clear
• assets:install - Copy public assets
• importmap:install - JS import map setup

Notes for Future Work

• The backoffice elimination logic is in Controller/Backoffice/PrepareEliminationController.php
• Quiz timing logic starts on candidate start click and stops on final answer selection
• Background music feature noted but not yet implemented (requirements only)
• Statistics functionality is marked TBD in README
