Is this to prevent the error Command "lint:php" not found. in https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-parent-2021/actions/runs/12245433887/job/34159295938 ?

Some repos won't have phpcs.xml but should still run the linter, because the default file is phpcs.xml.dist, which is installed by the setup tools command.

What I thought we'd do, if there were projects that didn't need to run specific lints, was just define empty commands in the project. So I'd update wporg-parent to say "lint:php": "echo \"No PHP lint.\"" It appears to already do this for the lint:js command.

We could check for both. It don't mind either approach.

I think all projects should install the repo tools, so they'll all have phpcs.xml.dist. It's just a matter of whether they've defined the yarn command that's the issue, right?

True, but shouldn't they all have the yarn command defined if they include phpcs.xml.dist? I think wporg-parent is the outlier in this case. I'm fine with adding a noop to parent as well.

Probably, but it's up to each person who set up the repos to make sure those exist. Having this error out with command not found seems correct in that case, as a prompt to add the lint:php command (even if it's an outlier noop command).

Sure.
