Framework Compatibility

For "match Magento 2.4.8 requirements" requests:

  1. Search official docs for system requirements
  2. Map to
    .env
    : PHP →
    PHP_VERSION
    , DB →
    MYSQL_DISTRIBUTION_VERSION
    , etc.
  3. Update
    .env
    with matched versions

Agent Behavior Examples

Generate service table: Read

.env
, map
WARDEN_*
variables to service status, output table (Service | Status | Version).

Verify PHP running: Run

warden env ps
, check for
php-fpm
,
php-debug
,
php-blackfire
.

Troubleshoot non-loading site:

warden svc ps
warden env ps
ping app.{project}.test
warden env logs nginx
.

Xdebug not working: Use

warden debug
, verify IDE server name
{project}-docker
, port 9003, XDEBUG_SESSION cookie.
