Mago 1.13.0

This release adds a new no-inline linter rule, fixes a formatter idempotency bug with comments in ternary expressions, fixes missing type diagnostics for abstract methods, replaces the self_update dependency to unblock cargo install mago, and improves self-update error messages.

✨ Features

Linter

• New no-inline rule: Disallows inline content (text outside of <?php tags) in source files. Most modern PHP applications are source-code only and do not use PHP as a templating language. Inline content before <?php, after ?>, or between PHP tags is typically unintentional and can cause issues such as unexpected output or "headers already sent" errors. This rule is disabled by default and is intended for codebases that do not use PHP templates (#1220)

🐛 Bug Fixes

Analyzer

• Missing type diagnostics for abstract methods: Fixed a bug where missing-parameter-type, missing-return-type, and imprecise type diagnostics were not reported for abstract methods in classes and interfaces (#1223)

Formatter

• Comment reordering in ternary expressions: Fixed an idempotency bug where line comments between ?/: and their operands in ternary expressions were reordered and merged on each formatting pass, requiring up to 4 passes before stabilizing. Comments after ? and : are now correctly preserved in their original order (#1221)

CLI

• Better self-update error messages: When a release does not include a binary for the current platform, the error message now lists the user's detected platform and the available assets, making it easier to diagnose the issue (#1218)

🏗️ Internal

• Replaced self_update crate with custom updater module: The self_update crate was pinned to a git ref, which blocked cargo publish and cargo install mago. It has been replaced with a minimal, purpose-built updater using ureq, self-replace, and direct archive handling
• Fixed WASM playground cache: The playground now busts the WASM cache on every release, ensuring users always get the latest version (#1219)
