-### ExplicitExpectsMockMethodRule
-
-PHPUnit mock method is missing explicit `expects()`, e.g. `$this->mock->expects($this->once())->...`. This is required since PHPUnit 12 to avoid silent stubs.

 ### AvoidAnyExpectsRule
 
 Disallow usage of `any()` expectation in mocks to ensure that all mock interactions are explicitly defined and verified.
