class InternalConfig {
public static bool $debug = false;

A static property is being accessed on a class that is marked as @internal. Internal classes are not meant to be used outside of their own package. Depending on their static properties creates a coupling to implementation details that can change at any time without following semantic versioning.
Use the public API provided by the package instead of accessing internal class properties directly:
namespace App {
function test(): bool {
- return \Vendor\InternalConfig::$debug;
+ return \Vendor\PublicConfig::isDebug();
}
}
