Upgrades a PHP project to a newer PHP version using Rector — the automated refactoring tool. Inspects composer.json, detects the current PHP version, selects safe PHP-level rulesets, updates dependencies conservatively, runs a dry-run first, and produces an upgrade checklist with follow-up manual changes. Activate for phrases like "upgrade my PHP version", "modernize PHP syntax", "migrate to PHP 8.3", "fix PHP 8 deprecations", "set up Rector for PHP upgrade", or any request to automate PHP syntax modernization — even when Rector is not mentioned by name.
