PHPStan level 8 compliance

[somethingwithproof]

Goal

Bring plugin_mactrack to PHPStan level 8 with zero errors.

What level 8 adds (cumulative with 0–7)

• Level 8: Return types, types assigned to properties
• Level 7: Basic dead code checking (always false instanceof, dead else, unreachable code)
• Level 6: Checking types of arguments passed to methods and functions
• Level 5: Report missing type hints
• Levels 0–4: Union types, nullable access, mixed strictness, etc.

Tasks

• Achieve PHPStan level 6 first (PHPStan level 6 compliance #311)
• Add explicit return types to all methods
• Add property type declarations
• Fix dead code (unreachable branches, always-false checks)
• Update config to level: 8
• Run vendor/bin/phpstan analyse -l 8 with zero errors
