Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"62292" 62292]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="62292"
 Build/Test Tools: Honor `@global` docblock tags in PHPStan analysis.

 This adds a PHPStan extension with a parser-node visitor that bridges
 WordPress core's `@global Type $varname` PHPDoc convention to PHPStan's
 variable type resolution, eliminating 3,784 spurious errors caused by
 globals resolving as `mixed` when on rule level 10 (out of 40,069 errors
 total, so a 9.4% reduction). This avoids the need to add `/** @var Type
 $varname */` annotations with each global variable.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11692

 Props westonruter, apermo, szepeviktor.
