Systematic framework for upgrading TYPO3 extensions to newer LTS versions. Extension code only -- NOT for project/core upgrades.
| Tool | Purpose | Files |
|---|---|---|
| Extension Scanner | Diagnose deprecated APIs | TYPO3 Backend |
| Rector | Automated PHP migrations | .php |
| Fractor | Non-PHP migrations | FlexForms, TypoScript, YAML, Fluid |
| PHPStan | Static analysis | .php |

Instead: apply specific rules manually, test between each change.
When composer.json widens constraints to a new major version: enumerate API usages, cross-reference the new version's API, flag interface/concrete-only methods, verify mocks against all supported versions, use adapter pattern for signature differences, run PHPStan against each major version. See references/third-party-dependency-upgrades.md.
