No tests—one change breaks many—teams then argue across ownership lines.
Extend legacy
PHP Secondary Development
Secondary work fails when you dig without knowing where the mines are.
Add features, fix defects and limited refactors on existing PHP systems.
Handover-ready code
Clear layout, naming and config so your team can continue.
Frameworks for fit
Laravel/ThinkPHP chosen by scenario—not fashion.
Data layer included
Schema and query paths designed with the app.
Secondary risks
These usually show up before a project starts—or right after a rushed launch.
Deps won't install; envs unreproducible—it often surfaces only after production impact.
No DB migrations—iteration and local integration slow down.
Author gone—knowledge gap—users feel it as inconsistent data or UX.
Health-check-driven increments
Reproduce env and critical paths; add minimal tests or manual checklists; localize changes; fill doc gaps. Health-check first: deps, entrypoints, DB and deploy. Risk-ordered changes—avoid big-bang rewrites unless required.
