 - fix `average()` so non-numeric values no longer error on modern PHP versions
 - make `changeKeyCase()` Unicode case conversion deterministic across PHP 8.0–8.5
 - strengthen native property type checks, array-shape contracts, and regression coverage across Json mapper and collection helpers
+- add PHPStan + runtime coverage for `meta()` with array-shape-backed models and document the recommended usage in the README
+- stabilize the full PHPUnit / PHPStan CI matrix across PHP 8.0–8.5 for both lowest and current dependency sets
 - remove stale PHP 8-only compatibility branches, clean up PHPStan ignores, and refresh the PHP 8.0+ docs/CI matrix

-The library offers type checking for phpdoc array-shape annotations, legacy `@property` phpdoc-class-comments, and native declared properties. Prefer the array-shape form because it can reuse the `Arrayy` template for IDE autocompletion and static-analysis support. When you want PHPStan to check reads precisely, prefer array-like access with literal keys (for example `$user['lastName']`) on these array-shape-based models. Do not combine array-shape annotations and `@property` tags on the same model.
