Enforcing PSR-12 without blocking every pull request with comments about indentation and brace placement requires automation instead of good intentions. PHP_CodeSniffer and PHP-CS-Fixer, combined with pre-commit hooks and a CI pipeline, permanently end formatting discussions in review, even in grown legacy projects.

Any agency maintaining custom Magento 2 modules across several client projects cannot avoid a private Composer repository. Instead of distributing modules manually via FTP or a zip file, a private Composer repository makes them installable through composer require, versioned through git tags and with full dependency resolution against magento/framework.
