Description

The checker is currently having trouble with typing the extractor in lang::php::analysis::signatures::Extract, which makes heavy use of pattern matching against node types. It is not clear if this is a problem in the checker or with the extractor itself, or (most likely) some combination of the two.

Research direction

Start by examining lang::php::analysis::signatures::Extract, especially its pattern matching against node types, and reproduce the checker’s typing errors. Done means determining whether the issue is in the checker, the extractor, or both, and updating the affected implementation so the typing errors are resolved.
