## Description

This project is a PHP environment abstraction layer and runtime detection library. It functions as a logic router designed to identify the active execution engine and trigger specific code paths based on the runtime environment.

The library enables cross-engine PHP development by routing application logic through different branches and managing behaviors depending on the detected context. This allows for the implementation of environment-specific configurations and conditional execution logic to ensure compatibility across various setups.

The system covers runtime detection, execution path management, and provides compatibility for static analysis to help resolve potential execution paths.
