Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the ECS (Easy Coding Standard) configuration for PHP linting rules. It modifies the PropertySpacingSniff rule to require blank lines before properties regardless of whether they have comments, and adds several skip rules to exclude specific directories and files from certain code quality checks.

Key changes:

• Modified PropertySpacingSniff to enforce consistent blank line spacing before properties
• Added skip configurations for multiple sniffs targeting specific Laravel application directories

Using getcwd() for path construction is fragile and assumes the command is always run from a specific directory. Consider using __DIR__ or a more reliable base path resolution mechanism to ensure paths work correctly regardless of where the command is executed from.

[nitpick] Skipping UnusedParameterSniff for so many directories (7 different paths) may hide genuine code quality issues. Consider addressing unused parameters in these locations or documenting why these specific directories require this exception.
