Adds fluent builders for the remaining validation rules from Laravel framework #61833, including conditional presence rules, confirmation fields, URL protocols, UUID versions and date equality. Parameterized rules retain their values during parsing, including commas and pipes, while preserving Hypervel's existing CSV quoting and immutable date behavior.

The builders work with Data's field-name mapping, conditional required fields, distinct checks and collection validation. Existing Data attributes now retain multiple conditional values and exclusion fields, support custom confirmation fields, and accept explicit date field references. Validator::sometimes() also accepts rule objects directly.

Dependent validation now preserves literal comparison values and database constraints while resolving wildcard field references. Conditional builders and Data attributes also retain numeric precision, avoiding rounded comparisons that can silently change which conditions match.

Scalar builder definitions reuse the existing bounded compiled-plan cache. Cached plans store values rather than mutable builder objects, preserving plan reuse for array validation without keeping caller-owned objects alive. Custom executable rules remain uncached, and validator subclass hooks retain their original objects.

Includes the upstream rule-builder documentation and regression coverage for Data integration, structured parameters, cache reuse and mutation safety. Formatting, static analysis and the affected Validation and Data suites pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added fluent validation rule builders for conditional, presence, exclusion, confirmation, date, URL, IP, UUID, and other common rules.
    • Validation rules now support structured parameters, including multiple comparison values and field references.
    • sometimes accepts rule objects, and validation data attributes support additional fields and values for several rules.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of literal comparison values, wildcard field references, and percent signs during validation.
    • Float comparison values retain their precision.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded the validation guide with rule-builder examples and clarified field-reference usage.

Note

Add fluent validation rule builders to Rule factories and validator pipeline

  • Adds ~35 rule classes implementing the new ParameterizedRule interface, plus matching static factories on Rule for scalar and parameterized rules (e.g. confirmed(), distinct()->strict(), uuid()->version(4)) in Rule.php
  • Parser, compiler, plan cache, and data-object validation now handle ParameterizedRule via toArray() instead of string conversion; cached plans store structured values rather than mutable builder objects (RulePlanCache.php, ValidationRuleParser.php)
  • Fixes dependent-rule parameter resolution: Validator.replaceFieldsInParameters separates literal comparison values from field references so values with asterisks, escaped dots, or percent signs are no longer treated as field paths; percent signs are no longer vsprintf directives
  • Extends conditional attributes (AcceptedIf, ExcludeIf, etc.) with variadic comparison values, and widens sometimes() to accept object rules
  • Behavioral Change: dependent rules with literals containing *, escaped dots, or % now compare literally instead of resolving as fields; cached compiled plans capture builder state at compile time and are not affected by later builder mutations.

Port Laravel framework PR #61833 at
dc3455f165ea77d793d3a738b1a28bbae41a9c35, reconciled with the frozen
13.x source target 5d7797528723107cd4f495326838a7d7d67fbb20.
Add the remaining Rule factories, parameterized builders, Date::equals,
and structured parsing without reducing parameter values to strings.
Preserve Hypervel's native types, CSV quoting and immutable date behavior.

Integrate structured rules with Data's presence and distinct checks,
field-reference mapping and collection rule comparison. Extend the
existing conditional attributes to retain multiple comparison values,
ExcludeWithout to retain multiple fields, Confirmed to accept a custom
field, and DateEquals to accept an explicit FieldReference. Allow rule
objects in Validator::sometimes and its contract.

Reuse the existing bounded compiled-plan cache for builders containing
only scalar values. Base plans keep parsed values rather than mutable
builder objects; subclass hooks retain their original rule objects.
Executable and non-scalar rules remain uncached. This preserves plan
reuse for expanded array fields without adding another cache mechanism.

Port the corresponding validation documentation from Laravel docs
73e61270287e4aaa1cecd77cd66aa6ef4f499828 and clarify Data's mapped field
references versus literal rules returned by hooks.

Validation: every changed test file, the complete Validation suite,
Data's validation support suite and ValidationTest, formatting, and full
source/type/skeleton static analysis pass. Regression coverage verifies
conditional presence, mapped builder parameters, finished-item distinct
checks, plan reuse, mutation isolation and builder release. Final cache
guard simplification passes its test file and targeted analysis.

Quick idle-machine comparisons show reusable builders reducing validation
time by roughly 17-26%, including four independent worker processes.
Continuously changing rules add about 0.04 ms per 20-field validation;
cache growth remains bounded by the existing limit.

Walkthrough

The change adds fluent validation rule builders and supports parameterized rule objects across parsing, compilation, caching, and data-object validation. It also updates validation attributes, signatures, documentation, and tests.

Changes: Fluent validation rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rule builder API and serialization

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Serialize every builder to a rule string
  • ➕ Uses the existing string-only parsing path.
  • ➖ Can lose parameter boundaries for commas, quotes, and pipes.
  • ➖ Makes structured rule comparison and safe cache keys harder.
2. Keep builder plans in a separate cache
  • ➕ Isolates builder-specific caching behavior.
  • ➖ Duplicates cache limits and lifecycle handling.
  • ➖ Complicates reuse across expanded array fields.

Recommendation: Keep structured parsing and extend the existing bounded plan cache. Together they preserve literal parameters and reuse plans without retaining caller-owned mutable builders; executable and non-scalar rules should remain uncached.

Remediation recommended

1. Wildcard comparisons skip conditional rules ✓ Resolved
Description
AcceptedIf::toArray() places literal comparison values beside the field reference, but
Validator::validateAttribute() applies field-name wildcard substitution to every parameter. For
Rule::acceptedIf('items.*.other', '*') on items.*.terms, the value becomes the item index, so an
input whose other value is '*' passes without checking terms; values with additional asterisks
can instead throw during substitution.
Code

src/validation/src/Rules/AcceptedIf.php[40]

+        return ['accepted_if', $this->anotherField, ...array_values($values)];
Evidence
The new builder emits '*' as a comparison parameter. Wildcard validation replaces every asterisk
in every dependent-rule parameter with the concrete item key, while validateAcceptedIf() checks
the resulting values rather than the builder's original value. The same replacement calls
vsprintf(), which has insufficient arguments when the value contains more asterisks than the
attribute has wildcard keys.

src/validation/src/Rules/AcceptedIf.php[33-40]
src/validation/src/Validator.php[1133-1142]
src/validation/src/Validator.php[1247-1252]
src/validation/src/Concerns/ValidatesAttributes.php[58-74]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Conditional builders put literal comparison values in the dependent-rule parameter list. Validation currently rewrites those values as field names, allowing a wildcard comparison to miss its condition or throw.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/validation/src/Validator.php[1133-1142]
- src/validation/src/Validator.php[1235-1252]
- src/validation/src/Rules/AcceptedIf.php[35-40]
## Recommended Fix
For dependent rules with a comparison-value list, apply escaped-field and wildcard substitution only to their field-reference parameter; leave comparison values untouched. Preserve substitution across every parameter for rules whose parameters are all field references. Add collection-validation tests using literal `*`, `**`, and escaped-dot comparison values.

Informational

2. Integer field names crash array-field validation 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
Field-list builders such as RequiredWith, Prohibits, PresentWith and MissingWith put the
caller's array values into toArray() without converting them to strings. Because
ruleReducesToString() now keeps these objects as they are, an integer field name reaches
Validator::replaceAsterisksInParameters() on wildcard attributes, where str_replace() throws a
TypeError under strict types; the equivalent string rule passes a string and validates normally.

Explorer trace: parse() keeps the raw toArray() parameter types (parseArrayRule uses
array_slice). For rules listed in dependentRules, validateAttribute calls
replaceAsterisksInParameters, which passes each parameter unconverted to `str_replace('*', '%s',
$field)` (Validator.php ~1247-1251). Before this PR, the builders were cast to strings, so every
parameter was a string.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
ParameterizedRule builders return raw caller values from `toArray()`. Non-string scalars (e.g. integer field names, timezone arguments) reach validator helpers that require strings, such as `str_replace` in `replaceAsterisksInParameters` and `Str::upper` in `validateTimezone`, and throw a TypeError.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/validation/src/Rules/RequiredWith.php[27-30]
- src/validation/src/Rules/Prohibits.php[27-30]
- src/validation/src/Rules/Timezone.php[24-27]
- src/validation/src/Validator.php[1245-1252]
## Recommended Fix
In each field-list builder's `toArray()` (RequiredWith*, MissingWith*, PresentWith*, Prohibits, ExcludeWithout, InArrayKeys, RequiredArrayKeys, Timezone, Url), map the values through `(string)`. Alternatively, convert `$field` to a string with `(string) $field` in `replaceAsterisksInParameters`.

- Around line 35-38: Update the value conversion in AcceptedIf so it always
produces strings instead of allowing json_encode to return false for NAN or INF.
Preserve explicit "true", "false", and "null" parameter strings, and convert
other scalar values to strings.

Comment thread src/validation/src/Rules/AcceptedIf.php Resolved
Dependent-rule normalization treated every parameter as a field path.
That replaced literal asterisks with array indexes, encoded escaped dots
inside comparison values and database constraints, and interpreted percent
signs as sprintf syntax. Conditional rules could silently miss their
condition, unique checks could query the wrong scope, and valid values
could raise formatting errors.

Share field-parameter normalization between ordinary validation and
exclusion pre-evaluation. Preserve string conversion for literal tails,
but limit field rewriting to the reference portion of each conditional
rule and the first four Unique parameters. Other dependent rules retain
their existing behavior and extension signatures. Escape literal percent
signs before introducing wildcard placeholders.

Regression tests cover each affected conditional rule, both execution
paths, early exclusions, array-form scalar semantics, percent-bearing
field names and Unique constraints alongside wildcard ignore IDs.
The new cases reproduce skipped validation and formatting errors before
the correction and pass afterward.

Validation: formatting, full source/type/skeleton analysis, the Validation
suite, Data validation support and Data ValidationTest pass.
String casts round floats before comparison, so conditional builders can
skip a condition even when its input equals the supplied numeric value.
AcceptedIf already retained finite precision through JSON encoding, but
JSON failures turned non-finite values into false and could activate a
condition against an empty input.

Use one conditional-value formatter across the six builders. Keep the
explicit null and boolean spellings, preserve finite float precision with
JSON encoding, and retain literal non-finite representations when JSON
cannot encode them. Keep positional parameters for keyed value arrays.
Data's rule denormalizer now preserves float precision at its own shared
conversion boundary as well.

Tests cover matching computed floats and numeric strings, distinct values
that previously matched after rounding, non-finite values, and precise
Data attribute parameters. Existing upstream tests remain unchanged.

Validation: all changed test files, the complete Validation suite, Data
validation support and Data ValidationTest pass, along with formatting
and full source/type/skeleton static analysis.

@coderabbitai The description warning applies the external-contribution template to a maintainer-directed update. AGENTS.md explicitly distinguishes those workflows. The description covers the behavior, adaptations and verification; the external-contribution eligibility restrictions and submission checklist do not apply here.

@binaryfire You are correct. I verified that AGENTS.md explicitly excludes maintainer-directed work from the external-contribution requirements in src/docs/contributions.md. This also matches the supplied existing guidance.

I withdraw the description warning. The external-contribution eligibility restrictions and submission checklist do not apply to this update. No description change is needed to address that warning.

## Accepted Contributions

Bug-fix code pull requests must explain the root cause and include a regression test that fails without the fix and passes with it.

You are interacting with an AI system.

PHP 8.5 warns when NAN is cast to a string. The non-finite fallback in
conditional rule builders and Data parameters used that cast, and the
regression test repeated it while constructing its expected value.

Return the explicit NAN spelling before attempting JSON/string conversion.
Keep finite precision and the existing infinity output unchanged. Use
literal expected values for NAN and both infinities, and cover Data's NAN
and infinity conversion through its existing parameter provider. Comments
explain why both the explicit NAN case and the fallback are needed.

Reproduced the two CI warnings in the PHP 8.5 CI image before the fix.
Both affected test files now pass there without warnings; PHP 8.4 checks,
targeted source analysis, formatting and diff checks also pass.

The generated description’s parse-error claim is incorrect: FormatsParameters.php contains no stray +, passes php -l, and loads successfully in the PHP 8.4 and 8.5 validation suites. Removed that sentence from the description; no code change is needed.
