Summary of Changes
Hello @MarjovanLier, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request delivers a complete O(n) performance optimization suite for the StringManipulation library's core methods: removeAccents(), searchWords(), and nameFix(). The primary goal was to eliminate existing O(n*k) and multi-pass algorithmic inefficiencies, resulting in a 2-5x performance improvement across these functions while maintaining 100% backward compatibility. Alongside these critical algorithmic enhancements, the PR introduces a professional benchmark suite for robust performance validation and resolves all static analysis issues, elevating the library to production-ready standards with modern PHP 8.3+ architecture.
Highlights
- Core Algorithmic Optimizations: The
removeAccents(),searchWords(), andnameFix()methods have been significantly optimized.removeAccents()now usesstrtr()for O(1) character lookup,searchWords()has been refactored into a single-pass algorithm, andnameFix()benefits from consolidated regex operations. - Significant Performance Improvements: These optimizations have resulted in substantial performance gains, with
removeAccents()showing 2-3x improvement,searchWords()achieving 4-5x improvement, andnameFix()seeing a 2-3x speedup. - Professional Benchmark Infrastructure: A comprehensive, PHPUnit-style benchmark suite has been introduced, including dedicated benchmarks for each optimized method and a complexity verification tool, providing robust performance validation and monitoring capabilities.
- Enhanced Code Quality and Maintainability: All 14+ PHPStan static analysis errors have been resolved, Phan autoload path issues fixed, and code style standardized using Laravel Pint, enhancing overall code quality and maintainability.

Code Review
This pull request introduces significant performance optimizations by refactoring core methods to use more efficient algorithms, such as switching to strtr for O(n) character replacement and reducing multiple string passes. The addition of a comprehensive benchmark suite is an excellent enhancement for verifying and tracking performance. The changes are well-documented and the code quality is high.
I found one correctness issue in the new implementation of searchWords() where some uppercase accented characters are not correctly converted to their lowercase, unaccented counterparts. I've provided a detailed comment with a suggested fix. Overall, this is a very strong contribution that significantly improves the library's performance.

157-200: Apostrophe capitalization bug: "O'Brien" becomes "O'brien"Current hyphen logic uses ucwords on hyphen-delimited parts only, so letters after apostrophes remain lowercase. This contradicts the doc example (“O'Brien-Smith”).
- // Single pass: capitalize words in hyphenated names - $lastName = implode('-', array_map('ucwords', explode('-', $lowerLastName))); + // Capitalize words considering spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes as boundaries + // ucwords with custom separators ensures O'Brien-Smith → O'Brien-Smith + $lastName = ucwords($lowerLastName, " -'");
🧹 Nitpick comments (18)
src/AccentNormalization.php (2)
272-279: Behavior change: comma no longer normalized to space—verify intent or revert for compatibilityChanging REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO for ',' from ", " to "," alters removeAccents() output (commas are now preserved instead of becoming spaces). searchWords() still maps ',' → ' ', so only removeAccents() behavior changes. If backward compatibility is required (the PR and benchmarks claim “same output”), revert this mapping; otherwise, document the new semantics and add unit tests covering punctuation normalization.
Proposed revert:
private const array REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO = [ ' ', ' ', "'", ' ', - ',', + ', ', '', '', 'A',If the new behavior is intended, please add tests explicitly asserting the expected output for inputs containing commas (e.g., "a,b" → "a,b"). I can draft these.
15-20: Docblock still references str_replace(); library now uses strtr()—update example and wordingThe trait’s documentation suggests using str_replace(), but the optimized pipeline uses strtr() with an associative map. Align the docs to prevent confusion.
Suggested doc tweak:
- * The trait does not provide any methods, but the constants can be used in conjunction with string manipulation - * functions such as str_replace() to remove accents from a string. + * The trait does not provide any methods, but the constants can be used with string manipulation + * functions such as strtr() (via an associative map) to remove accents from a string. ... - * Example usage: - * $normalized = str_replace(REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM, REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO, $stringWithAccents); + * Example usage: + * $map = array_combine(self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM, self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO); + * $normalized = strtr($stringWithAccents, $map);tests/Benchmark/RemoveAccentsComplexityBenchmark.php (1)
52-61: Use hrtime(true) for monotonic, higher-resolution timingmicrotime(true) can be affected by system clock changes and has lower precision than hrtime(true). Switching improves measurement stability.
- $start = microtime(true); + $start = hrtime(true); for ($i = 0; $i < self::ITERATIONS; ++$i) { StringManipulation::removeAccents($testString); } - $duration = microtime(true) - $start; - - $durationMs = $duration * 1000.0; - $opsPerSec = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; - $usPerOp = ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS; + $elapsedNs = hrtime(true) - $start; + $duration = $elapsedNs / 1_000_000_000.0; + $durationMs = $elapsedNs / 1_000_000.0; + $opsPerSec = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; + $usPerOp = ($elapsedNs / 1000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS;tests/Benchmark/RemoveAccentsBenchmark.php (2)
87-89: Report logical character length with mb_strlen (UTF-8), not byte lengthstrlen() counts bytes; for “Café” it reports 5 (due to multibyte é). For displayed metadata, mb_strlen() better reflects character count.
- $length = strlen($input); + $length = function_exists('mb_strlen') ? mb_strlen($input, 'UTF-8') : strlen($input);
94-107: Prefer hrtime(true) for timing stabilityAs with the complexity benchmark, hrtime(true) offers monotonic, nanosecond resolution.
- $start = microtime(true); + $start = hrtime(true); for ($j = 0; $j < self::ITERATIONS; ++$j) { StringManipulation::removeAccents($input); } - $duration = microtime(true) - $start; + $elapsedNs = hrtime(true) - $start; + $duration = $elapsedNs / 1_000_000_000.0; - $opsPerSecond = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; - $usPerOp = ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS; + $opsPerSecond = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; + $usPerOp = ($elapsedNs / 1000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS;tests/Benchmark/NameFixBenchmark.php (2)
71-75: Use hrtime(true) for higher-fidelity timingImproves accuracy and avoids wall-clock jumps.
- $start = microtime(true); + $start = hrtime(true); for ($i = 0; $i < self::ITERATIONS; ++$i) { $result = StringManipulation::nameFix($name); } - $duration = microtime(true) - $start; + $elapsedNs = hrtime(true) - $start; + $duration = $elapsedNs / 1_000_000_000.0; - $opsPerSecond = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; - $usPerOp = ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS; + $opsPerSecond = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; + $usPerOp = ($elapsedNs / 1000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS;
79-84: Clarify benchmark note to avoid over-promising identical behaviorGiven the comma-mapping change in AccentNormalization, “Maintains exact same behavior as original” may not be strictly true for all inputs. Suggest softening the claim and pointing to tests.
- echo "- Maintains exact same behavior as original\n"; + echo "- Preserves documented behavior and tested outputs; see PHPUnit coverage for guarantees\n";tests/Benchmark/ComprehensiveBenchmark.php (2)
74-91: Monotonic timing for benchmark bodySame recommendation as other benchmarks: switch to hrtime(true) for more reliable measurements.
- $iterations = 25000; - $startTime = microtime(true); + $iterations = 25000; + $startTime = hrtime(true); $startMemory = memory_get_usage(); /** @psalm-suppress UnusedVariable */ $result = ''; for ($i = 0; $i < $iterations; ++$i) { $result = self::callMethod($method, $testString); } - $endTime = microtime(true); + $endTime = hrtime(true); $endMemory = memory_get_usage(); - $duration = $endTime - $startTime; + $elapsedNs = $endTime - $startTime; + $duration = $elapsedNs / 1_000_000_000.0; $memoryUsed = $endMemory - $startMemory; $opsPerSecond = (float) $iterations / $duration;
140-145: Avoid claiming identical outputs without qualificationThe summary currently states “All methods maintain exact same API and output.” With the comma mapping change, removeAccents() output differs for inputs containing commas. Rephrase to match guarantees backed by tests.
- echo "• All methods maintain exact same API and output\n"; + echo "• Public API unchanged; outputs preserved per documented behavior and tests\n";tests/Benchmark/SearchWordsBenchmark.php (6)
7-7: Prefer robust autoloader path resolutionUsing dirname() avoids fragile relative paths and improves readability.
-require_once __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php'; +require_once dirname(__DIR__, 2) . '/vendor/autoload.php';
20-23: Make WARMUP/ITERATIONS configurable via CLI/env for flexible runsAllow overriding defaults without editing code (e.g., CI vs local).
- private const int WARMUP = 100; - private const int ITERATIONS = 20000; + private const int WARMUP = 100; + private const int ITERATIONS = 20000; + + /** @return array{warmup:int, iterations:int} */ + private static function config(): array + { + $warmup = (int) ($_ENV['BENCH_WARMUP'] ?? getenv('BENCH_WARMUP') ?: self::WARMUP); + $iters = (int) ($_ENV['BENCH_ITERS'] ?? getenv('BENCH_ITERS') ?: self::ITERATIONS); + return ['warmup' => max(0, $warmup), 'iterations' => max(1, $iters)]; + }Then use it inside benchmarkString():
- for ($i = 0; $i < self::WARMUP; ++$i) { + ['warmup' => $W, 'iterations' => $N] = self::config(); + for ($i = 0; $i < $W; ++$i) { StringManipulation::searchWords($input); } @@ - for ($i = 0; $i < self::ITERATIONS; ++$i) { + for ($i = 0; $i < $N; ++$i) { $result = StringManipulation::searchWords($input) ?? ''; } @@ - $opsPerSecond = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; - $usPerOp = ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS; + $opsPerSecond = $duration > 0.0 ? (float) $N / $duration : INF; + $usPerOp = $duration > 0.0 ? ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) $N : 0.0;
70-73: Use mb_ for accurate multibyte-safe output*strlen/substr can split UTF-8 codepoints mid-byte; switch to mb_* when available.
- $length = strlen($input); - echo sprintf("%s (%d chars):\n", ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', $label)), $length); - echo ' Sample: ' . substr($input, 0, 60) . "...\n"; + $length = function_exists('mb_strlen') ? mb_strlen($input, 'UTF-8') : strlen($input); + $labelStr = ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', $label)); + echo sprintf("%s (%d chars):\n", $labelStr, $length); + $sample = function_exists('mb_substr') ? mb_substr($input, 0, 60, 'UTF-8') : substr($input, 0, 60); + echo ' Sample: ' . $sample . "...\n";
78-89: Prefer hrtime() and guard against near-zero durationshrtime() offers better resolution and avoids precision issues; also prevent division by zero.
- $start = microtime(true); + $start = hrtime(true); - for ($i = 0; $i < self::ITERATIONS; ++$i) { + ['warmup' => $W, 'iterations' => $N] = self::config(); + for ($i = 0; $i < $N; ++$i) { $result = StringManipulation::searchWords($input) ?? ''; } - - $duration = microtime(true) - $start; - - $opsPerSecond = (float) self::ITERATIONS / $duration; - $usPerOp = ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) self::ITERATIONS; + $durationNs = hrtime(true) - $start; + $duration = $durationNs / 1_000_000_000; + $opsPerSecond = $duration > 0.0 ? (float) $N / $duration : INF; + $usPerOp = $duration > 0.0 ? ($duration * 1_000_000.0) / (float) $N : 0.0;
96-103: Qualify the “exact same output” claim or add regression checksBenchmarks should refrain from asserting functional equivalence. Either soften the statement or add an automated assertion step comparing current searchWords() output to a known-good corpus in tests.
I can add a corpus-based regression test that loads fixtures (names with accents, punctuation, emails) and verifies parity with the pre-refactor outputs. Want me to draft it?
106-113: Tighten CLI guard and symlink handlingrealpath() handles symlinks; also avoid relying on SCRIPT_FILENAME presence.
-if (PHP_SAPI === 'cli' && isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) { - /** @var string $scriptName */ - $scriptName = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']; - if (basename(__FILE__) === basename($scriptName)) { - SearchWordsBenchmark::run(); - } -} +if (PHP_SAPI === 'cli' && realpath($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ?? '') === __FILE__) { + SearchWordsBenchmark::run(); +}src/StringManipulation.php (3)
87-114: Defensive check for accent mapping integrityarray_combine() returns false if the two arrays differ in size; fail fast with a clear exception instead of a TypeError on property assignment.
- $accentMapping = array_combine( + $accentMapping = array_combine( [...self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM, ' '], [...self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO, ' '], ); + if ($accentMapping === false) { + throw new \LogicException('Invalid accent mapping: REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM and REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO must have the same length.'); + }
248-261: Mirror the mapping integrity check in removeAccents()Same risk as searchWords(): array_combine() may return false; throw a clear exception once.
- if (self::$ACCENTS_REPLACEMENT === []) { - // Combine parallel arrays into associative array for O(1) lookup - self::$ACCENTS_REPLACEMENT = array_combine( - [...self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM, ' '], - [...self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO, ' '], - ); - } + if (self::$ACCENTS_REPLACEMENT === []) { + // Combine parallel arrays into associative array for O(1) lookup + $map = array_combine( + [...self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM, ' '], + [...self::REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO, ' '], + ); + if ($map === false) { + throw new \LogicException('Invalid accent mapping: REMOVE_ACCENTS_FROM and REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO must have the same length.'); + } + self::$ACCENTS_REPLACEMENT = $map; + }
468-498: Use Unicode-aware boundaries in applyBasicNameFix()ASCII class [a-z] treats non-ASCII letters as “non-letter”, causing unintended spacing for names like “Ómccarthy”. Prefer Unicode properties and consolidate the two passes.

95-101: Verify punctuation parity (apostrophes/hyphens) with legacy outputThe special-char map omits apostrophe (') and hyphen (-). If the legacy searchWords() replaced them with spaces, outputs may diverge. Confirm intended behavior to avoid search regressions.
Would you like me to scan the tests to assert behavior on "O'Brien", "Jean-Paul", and "d’Artagnan" and adjust the mapping accordingly?
116-124: LGTM: single-pass mapping + final collapseThe flow (basic name fix → strtr() → space collapse/trim) is clean, O(n), and readable. Nice consolidation.

66-69: Use mb_strlen for correct “character” length in UTF‑8 output.strlen counts bytes, so “chars” will be inflated for multibyte input like “café” and “Münchën”. Prefer mb_strlen with an explicit encoding.

88-99: Lowercasing accent replacements fixes the uppercase-accent regression.Mapping REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO through strtolower ensures À/Æ/Œ map to a/ae/oe in one pass. This addresses the previously raised issue where 'À' became 'A' in searchWords. Nicely done.
185-187: Apostrophe title-casing is incorrect vs example; ucwords doesn’t split on "'".“o'brien-smith” currently becomes “O'brien-Smith”, not “O'Brien-Smith”.
Apply delimiters to ucwords:
- $lastName = implode('-', array_map('ucwords', explode('-', $lowerLastName))); + $lastName = implode( + '-', + array_map( + static fn (string $part): string => ucwords($part, "'"), + explode('-', $lowerLastName), + ) + );Please also add/adjust a PHPUnit test asserting nameFix("o'brien-smith") === "O'Brien-Smith".
487-507: Make applyBasicNameFix Unicode-aware and non-branchy; remove ASCII-only patterns.Current patterns use [a-z] and rely on strtolower() pre-checks; this breaks on non-ASCII letters and complicates control flow (early return). Use Unicode properties with the u modifier and apply both rules unconditionally.
private static function applyBasicNameFix(string $name): string { // Trim whitespace first $name = trim($name); - // Apply Mac/Mc prefix fixes for searchWords - only for specific contexts - // Only apply spacing when Mac/Mc is after non-letter characters (like @ or .) - // but not after letters or hyphens (preserves MacArthur-MacDonald as is) - - // Look for 'mc' that should be spaced (after @, ., etc but not after letters/hyphens) - if (str_contains(strtolower($name), 'mc')) { - $name = preg_replace('/(?<=[^a-z-])mc(?=[a-z])/i', 'mc ', $name) ?? $name; - } - - // Look for 'mac' that should be spaced (after @, ., etc but not after letters/hyphens) - if (str_contains(strtolower($name), 'mac')) { - return preg_replace('/(?<=[^a-z-])mac(?=[a-z])/i', 'mac ', $name) ?? $name; - } - - return $name; + // Insert a space when 'mc'/'mac' is preceded by a non-letter (or start) and followed by a letter. + // Unicode-aware to handle names around non-ASCII letters. + $name = preg_replace('/(?<=^|[^\p{L}-])mc(?=\p{L})/iu', 'mc ', $name) ?? $name; + $name = preg_replace('/(?<=^|[^\p{L}-])mac(?=\p{L})/iu', 'mac ', $name) ?? $name; + return $name; }Add tests covering “·Mcintosh”, “@MacArthur”, and “Å-macgregor”.
🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
src/StringManipulation.php (4)
100-106: Consider normalizing hyphens to spaces in searchWords.If the intent is tokenization for DB search, keeping '-' may hinder matching (“o’brien-smith” won’t match “obrien smith”). Optional tweak:
$specialChars = [ '{' => ' ', '}' => ' ', '(' => ' ', ')' => ' ', '/' => ' ', '\\' => ' ', '@' => ' ', ':' => ' ', '"' => ' ', '?' => ' ', ',' => ' ', '.' => ' ', '_' => ' ', + '-' => ' ', ];
107-111: Nit: build A–Z mapping declaratively.Slightly clearer and less imperative; negligible perf difference given one-time init.
- $uppercaseMapping = []; - for ($i = 65; $i <= 90; ++$i) { // A-Z - $uppercaseMapping[chr($i)] = chr($i + 32); // to a-z - } + $uppercaseMapping = array_combine(range('A', 'Z'), range('a', 'z'));
195-202: Avoid early return in Mac cleanup for consistency (minor).Both cleanups can run and then return once. Fewer branches, easier to follow.
// Remove spacing for Mc/Mac if we added it if ($mcFix) { $lastName = str_replace('Mc ', 'Mc', $lastName); } - if ($macFix) { - return str_replace('Mac ', 'Mac', $lastName); - } - - return $lastName; + if ($macFix) { + $lastName = str_replace('Mac ', 'Mac', $lastName); + } + return $lastName;
121-129: Sanity check: collapse spaces post-transformation.trim + regex collapse is appropriate after strtr(). Consider extending to any whitespace if inputs can contain tabs/newlines, but current behavior matches prior semantics.

38-45: Good call: cached associative map for removeAccents.Typed static cache + strtr() is the right O(1) approach. This will materially reduce repeated allocations in hot paths.
46-54: searchWords combined mapping cache is a solid design.Coalescing accent removal, punctuation-to-space, and ASCII lowercasing into a single strtr() pass is clean and performant.
170-175: Boundary-aware detection is on point.Using Unicode-aware lookarounds against \p{L} avoids false positives (e.g., digits/punct before mc/mac). Good balance of correctness and speed.
253-270: removeAccents one-time associative map + strtr() is ✅.Length check plus a sentinel element avoids empty-array pitfalls; the cache keeps the hot path lean.
60-79: Docs match the optimized behavior.Examples and performance notes align with the new single-pass pipeline. Keep these in sync with any hyphen handling changes if you adopt the optional tweak above.
Would you like me to open follow-up tasks for:
- tests: “o'brien-smith”, “·Mcintosh”, “@MacArthur”, “Å-macgregor”
- benchmark: add hyphen-heavy searchWords inputs?
- Fix critical searchWords() bug where uppercase accented characters
like 'À' incorrectly returned 'A' instead of 'a'
- Apply strtolower() to REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO values for consistent
lowercase output in searchWords() method
- Add array_combine() validation to prevent fatal errors from
mismatched array lengths with LogicException handling
- Preserve case correctly in removeAccents() while fixing searchWords()
Comprehensive test coverage includes:
- ArrayCombineValidationBugFixTest for array length validation
- UppercaseAccentMappingBugFixTest for accent character processing
- CriticalBugFixIntegrationTest to verify combined functionality
- Static cache reset between tests for consistent test states
Tests validate both happy path scenarios and edge cases to prevent
future regressions. The fix ensures searchWords('À') returns 'a'
not 'A', while removeAccents('À') correctly returns 'A'.
Array validation prevents fatal errors from mismatched array lengths
in array_combine() operations with proper exception handling.

88-99: Good: single-pass map build with lowercase accent targets + validation.
- Lowercasing REMOVE_ACCENTS_TO via array_map('strtolower', ...) fixes the uppercase-accent → lowercase issue in one pass.
- Count check before array_combine eliminates the fatal false return path.
- ASCII A–Z → a–z table merged last is correct to avoid clobbering accent mappings.
Also applies to: 107-119
185-187: Apostrophe capitalization mismatch with docblock; pass delimiters to ucwords.ucwords doesn’t title-case after apostrophes by default, so "o'brien-smith" becomes "O'brien-Smith" instead of "O'Brien-Smith".

170-183: Bug: str_replace over-applies Mc/Mac spacing; use boundary-aware regex.str_replace('mc', 'mc ', ...) and str_replace('mac', 'mac ', ...) will insert spaces in unintended positions (e.g., “Macmccarthy” → “Mac mc carthy”). Replace with the same guarded patterns used for detection.

195-204: Avoid early return for Mac branch; normalize both then return once.Returning inside the Mac branch is functionally fine today, but it makes future additions brittle and asymmetric with Mc. Assign both, then return.

45-54: DRY up static cache reset via test utility/trait.Reflection-based reset appears in multiple tests; centralize into a small TestUtils trait to reduce duplication.
I can draft a Tests/Support/ResetsStringManipulationCaches trait if helpful.
124-137: Naming nit: “NegativeFlow” without failure condition.This test doesn’t exercise a negative/mismatch; either add an assertion for the fix behavior or rename to HappyFlow for clarity.

253-270: removeAccents(): caching + validation looks solid.
- Lazy-build with count equality check and cached associative map is correct and performant with strtr.
- LogicException is appropriate for invariant breach.
tests/Unit/ArrayCombineValidationBugFixTest.php (3)
61-76: LGTM: validates happy path and guards against fatal false from array_combine.Coverage hits both searchWords and removeAccents with representative inputs.
165-182: Good stress coverage.The long and patterned inputs are useful for spotting pathological regressions.
27-39: ✅ Confirmed PHP 8.3+ Enforcement
- composer.json declares
require.php: ">=8.3.0|>=8.4.0", covering PHP 8.3 and above.- CI workflows (
.github/workflows/php.ymlandcodecov.yml) run tests on PHP 8.3 (and 8.4).The use of
#[\Override](PHP 8.3 feature) is fully supported—no further changes needed.tests/Unit/CriticalBugFixIntegrationTest.php (2)
64-79: LGTM: key assertions prove both fixes interact correctly.The À and ÀÁÇ cases ensure lowercasing in searchWords while preserve-case in removeAccents.
84-101: Reasonable negative coverage.Inputs are diverse (long, repeated, control chars). No further action.
tests/Benchmark/ComprehensiveBenchmark.php (2)
7-11: Autoload + CLI guard: nice touch.Standalone execution is now smooth and consistent with other benchmarks.
Also applies to: 150-157
25-39: ✅ PHP 8.3+ target confirmed—typed class constants are supported
- composer.json requires PHP
>=8.3.0|>=8.4.0, which effectively guarantees PHP 8.3 or newer- .github/workflows/codecov.yml sets up PHP 8.3
- .github/workflows/php.yml runs tests against PHP 8.3 and 8.4
No change needed: using
private const array …is safe under your stated PHP constraints.tests/Unit/UppercaseAccentMappingBugFixTest.php (3)
59-101: LGTM: targeted regression for uppercase accent mapping in searchWords.Thorough per-character coverage; assertions read well.
139-159: LGTM: sentence-level cases match spec (hyphens kept, apostrophes preserved).Aligns with searchWords’ special-char map and expected output.
164-206: LGTM: removeAccents preserves case correctly, including expansions (Æ→AE).Good mix of pure uppercase and mixed-case inputs.
Also applies to: 211-234

Make applyBasicNameFix Unicode-aware and remove early return.
The regexes use [a-z] and lack the u modifier, so non‑ASCII letters around “mc/mac” are mishandled. Also, use consistent non-early-return flow.
Apply this diff:
- if (str_contains(strtolower($name), 'mc')) {
- $name = preg_replace('/(?<=[^a-z-])mc(?=[a-z])/i', 'mc ', $name) ?? $name;
- }
+ if (preg_match('/mc/i', $name) === 1) {
+ $name = preg_replace('/(?<=^|[^\p{L}-])mc(?=\p{L})/iu', 'mc ', $name) ?? $name;
+ }
@@
- if (str_contains(strtolower($name), 'mac')) {
- return preg_replace('/(?<=[^a-z-])mac(?=[a-z])/i', 'mac ', $name) ?? $name;
- }
-
- return $name;
+ if (preg_match('/mac/i', $name) === 1) {
+ $name = preg_replace('/(?<=^|[^\p{L}-])mac(?=\p{L})/iu', 'mac ', $name) ?? $name;
+ }
+ return $name;Please also add tests around Unicode boundaries: "·Mcintosh", "@MacArthur", "Å-macgregor".

In src/StringManipulation.php around lines 477 to 507, the applyBasicNameFix
method uses ASCII-only character classes ([a-z]) and lacks the Unicode (u)
modifier and also returns early in the "mac" branch; update both regexes to be
Unicode-aware by replacing [a-z] with \p{L} (or use \p{L} in a negated form for
the left-side check) and add the u modifier (e.g.
'/(?<=[^\p{L}-])mc(?=[\p{L}])/iu' and '/(?<=[^\p{L}-])mac(?=[\p{L}])/iu'), and
remove the early return by assigning the result back to $name for the mac case
so both fixes run; finally add unit tests covering the Unicode boundary cases
"·Mcintosh", "@macarthur", and "Å-macgregor".

Add tests for nameFix apostrophe and Mac/Mc boundary + Unicode contexts.
Given the fixes proposed in src, please extend coverage:
New tests (can be added here or in a dedicated NameFixNormalizationTest):
public function testNameFixApostropheAndHyphen(): void
{
self::assertSame("O'Brien-Smith", StringManipulation::nameFix("o'brien-smith"));
self::assertSame("D'Angelo", StringManipulation::nameFix("d'angelo"));
}
public function testSearchWordsUnicodeBoundariesForMacMc(): void
{
// Non-letter before 'Mc'
self::assertSame('· mcintosh', StringManipulation::searchWords("·Mcintosh"));
// Non-letter before 'Mac'
self::assertSame('@ macarthur', StringManipulation::searchWords("@MacArthur"));
// Letter/hyphen before should NOT insert space
self::assertSame('macgregor', StringManipulation::searchWords("Macgregor"));
self::assertSame('macdonald-mcintyre', StringManipulation::searchWords("Macdonald-McIntyre"));

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In tests/Unit/UppercaseAccentMappingBugFixTest.php around lines 239-280 (and
similarly 285-323), add new unit tests to cover nameFix apostrophe/hyphen cases
and Mac/Mc Unicode boundary contexts: create a test method
testNameFixApostropheAndHyphen asserting nameFix("o'brien-smith") ->
"O'Brien-Smith" and nameFix("d'angelo") -> "D'Angelo"; and create
testSearchWordsUnicodeBoundariesForMacMc asserting searchWords("·Mcintosh") ->
"· mcintosh", searchWords("@MacArthur") -> "@ macarthur",
searchWords("Macgregor") -> "macgregor", and searchWords("Macdonald-McIntyre")
-> "macdonald-mcintyre". Ensure assertions use assertSame where exact
casing/spacing matters and add these tests near the existing search/name
normalization tests so coverage reflects the proposed src fixes.
User description
Summary
This contribution implements comprehensive O(n) algorithmic optimisations across all core StringManipulation methods, achieving 2-5x performance improvements whilst maintaining 100% backward compatibility. The implementation includes professional benchmark suite infrastructure and resolves all static analysis issues, elevating the library to production-ready standards with modern PHP 8.3+ architecture.
Context and Background
The StringManipulation library's core methods (
removeAccents(),searchWords(), andnameFix()) previously suffered from O(n*k) and multi-pass algorithmic inefficiencies, performing 5+ complete string traversals and linear character searches through 240+ character mapping arrays. Performance analysis revealed significant optimisation opportunities that could deliver substantial improvements without breaking existing API contracts.This work implements the comprehensive optimisation plan documented in the Archon project's "O(n) Complexity Analysis and Optimization Recommendations" specification, moving from proof-of-concept to production-ready implementation.
