DirectConstructorCall

__construct() is called directly on an object (e.g., $obj->__construct(...)) outside of the accepted constructor-chaining context (parent::__construct(...)). This bypasses normal object initialisation semantics and is almost always a mistake.

Example

<?php
class Point {
    public function __construct(
        public float $x,
        public float $y,
    ) {}
}

$p = new Point(1.0, 2.0);
$p->__construct(3.0, 4.0); // direct constructor call

How to fix

Do not call __construct() directly after object creation. If you need to re-initialise an object, extract the initialisation logic into a separate method.
