The committed PHPUnit runner lived at tools/.bin/phpunit.phar, away from
the suite it runs. Move it next to the tests it drives —
tests/phpunit.phar — and update every invocation to
`php tests/phpunit.phar -c tests/phpunit.xml.dist`:
- CI workflows (ci, build-release, build_pre-release) + the ci.yml header,
- CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, tools/README.md, the qa-lead-reviewer agent,
- docs/en (dev-workflow, updates_checklist, phpunit-phar, refactoring).
docs/ru is generated from docs/en (make docs-translate) and is left for
the next regeneration, per the docs workflow.
Bundled binaries are stored in plain Git now, so the release/pre-release builds no longer need (and must not depend on) a Git LFS fetch — which was failing once the repo hit its LFS budget. The Makefile verify_no_lfs_pointers guard still fails the build if an LFS pointer stub ever slips into the archive.
`php -l` syntax checking is redundant with the real linters/validators (PHPStan
parses the code, PHP-CS-Fixer and the PHPUnit bootstrap also fail on parse
errors). Remove the script and every reference to it:
- Makefile: drop the `syntax_check` target and its .PHONY entry.
- CI (ci.yml): drop the dedicated `lint` (PHP Syntax Check) job.
- Release workflows (build-release, build_pre-release): drop the "Check syntax"
step from the Quality Gate (PHPUnit remains).
- CONTRIBUTING.md: replace the syntax-check pre-commit guidance with the real
checks (make dev-tools / phpstan / cs / gates / phpunit).
- updates_checklist (en/ru): replace `make syntax_check` with the quality-check
suite and drop the stale "Security scan" snippet that referenced the removed
script and a non-existent tools/run_scan.sh (Semgrep runs automatically in CI).
Replace separate install/update build targets with a single archive that
serves both purposes. The update script (src/update) now extracts to a
temp directory, removes excluded dirs (binaries, config, user data), and
copies remaining files over the live installation.
Changes:
- Remove main_update, lb_update, lb_update_copy_files,
main_update_copy_files Makefile targets and UPDATE_EXCLUDE_DIRS var
- Move exclude dirs list into src/update (Python) where filtering
actually happens at runtime
- Rewrite doUpdate() to use tempdir extraction with try/finally cleanup
- Make delete_files_list/lb_delete_files_list gracefully skip when
LAST_TAG is empty (warn instead of error)
- Simplify CI workflows: one make command per variant instead of
conditional install + update steps
- Add ARCHITECTURE.md §5.5 documenting update flow
- Update en/ru docs: update-system.md, updates_checklist.md
- Update makefile-build.instructions.md with new targets
