+This is a php based project. php 8.3 is the minimum version required to run this project. 
+php 8.4 features are not used in this project. codeception is used for testing.
+
+## Key Guidelines
+ - Do not modify `composer.json` or `composer.lock` files.
+
+## Code Standards
+
+ - Use symfony coding standards. 
+ - Follow PSR-12 for PHP code style. 
+ - Use spaces for indentation (4 spaces per indent level).
+ - Use camelCase for variable and method names, and PascalCase for class names. Constants should be in uppercase with underscores.
+ - Use single quotes for strings unless interpolation is needed. 
+ - Use `===` for comparisons and avoid using `==` unless necessary.
+ - Make new classes final unless they are intended to be extended. 
+ - Dont add '@param' to methods unless the parameter type is not clear from the method signature.
+ - Dont add '@return' to methods unless the return type is not clear from the method signature.
+ - Follow the principle of least surprise, meaning that code should be easy to understand and follow common conventions.
+ - Follow the principle of return early, meaning that if a function can return early, it should do so to avoid deep nesting.
+ - Use dependency injection for classes and services.
+ - Use interfaces for classes that are intended to be used as services.
+ - Use interfaces for dependency injection to allow for easier testing and mocking.
+ - Avoid using static methods and properties unless absolutely necessary.
+ - Use contructor injection for dependencies. 
+ - Avoid using global state and singletons.
+ - Use constructer promotion for class properties.
+ - Follow the principle of minimal visibility, meaning that class properties and methods should be as private as possible.
+ - Use interfaces for classes that are intended to be used as services. 
+ - Avoid using abstract classes unless absolutely necessary.
+ - Add a `@throws` annotation to methods that can throw exceptions, and document the exceptions that can be thrown.
+ - Add a new line at the end of each file. Use UTF-8 encoding for files.
+ - Use `null` coalescing operator (`??`) for default values when applicable. 
+ - Use `match` expressions for simple value comparisons.
+ - Use `array_map`, `array_filter`, and `array_reduce` for array transformations instead of loops when applicable.
+ - Use `declare(strict_types=1);` at the top of each file to enforce strict typing.
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+ - Use the `src/` directory for application code.
+ - Use the `tests/Unit` directory for unit tests.
+ - Use the `config/` directory for configuration files.
+ - Use the `public/` directory for public assets and entry points.
+ - Use the `vendor/` directory for third-party dependencies managed by Composer.
+ - Use the `translations/` directory for translation files.
+ - Use the `doc/` directory for documentation files.
+
+## Testing
+
+ - Use Codeception for testing.
+ - Follow the Codeception documentation for writing tests.
+ - Write unit tests for new functionality. Use mocks and stubs where applicable.
+ - Use `codeception.dist.yml` for Codeception configuration.
+ - Run tests using `vendor/bin/codecept run` command.
+
+## Documentation
+
+ - Use `@deprecated` annotation for deprecated methods or classes.
+ - Use `@example` annotation for providing examples of usage.
+ - Keep documentation up to date with code changes.
+ - Suggest changes to the `doc/` folder when appropriate
