C/C++ code quality, architecture and static analysis insights.
We dissect the Lyra Starter Game source: thin controllers, composition over inheritance, data-driven Experiences, interface seams, and how to enforce module layering with CppDepend.

PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618/109619) is a textbook MISRA violation: longjmp bailouts, stale globals, use-after-free in PHP's C core. Why these rules belong in enterprise C/C++ too.
