Add AddOverrideAttributeToOverriddenPropertiesRector for PHP 8.5 #7880

carlos-granados · 2026-02-04T11:10:51Z

This rule adds the #[\Override] attribute to properties that override parent class properties. PHP 8.5 extends the Override attribute to support properties in addition to methods.

The rule:

Adds #[\Override] to public/protected properties that override parent properties
Skips private properties (cannot truly override)
Skips properties where parent is private (not visible to child)
Skips properties that already have the attribute

Fixes rectorphp/rector#9579
