Generation Gap Pattern on CakePHP4
summary
Describes a concrete Generation Gap implementation for CakePHP4 that writes auto-generated model classes into a baked/ superclass directory while keeping custom code in inherited classes so database-driven schema changes only overwrite generated code. Provides a composer-installable plugin that recreates Cake bake output this way, reports testing against Cake bake v2.8.81 where the built-in update flag is unreliable, and shows the pattern preserves implementations while updating only generated superclasses.
