Mago 1.42.0

A small release adding a prefer-early-return linter rule, fixing Windows self-update, and clearing analyzer and PHPDoc false positives around is_a(), nullable destructuring, and @param on promoted properties.

✨ Features

Linter

• prefer-early-return: new rule suggesting early returns to reduce nesting in functions. (#2031, e523ab1)

🐛 Bug Fixes

Analyzer

• is_a() with allow_string: a string subject no longer triggers a false impossible-type-comparison. (db64917)
• Nullable destructuring: destructuring T|null keeps element types (plus null) instead of widening to mixed. (643a037)

PHPDoc Syntax

• @param on promoted properties: @param T with no variable is allowed and types the property like @var. (8b9af32)

CLI

• Windows self-update: extracts the .exe-suffixed binary from the archive, fixing "file not found". (805a1c3)
