Add missing latest codechecker sniffs

[abias]

Hi all,

I have encountered multiple times now that a plugin of mine is "all green" in Moodle-Plugins-CI (for example https://github.com/lernlink/moodle-enrol_semco/actions/runs/17527236990) but that the same code, when published to moodle.org/plugins afterwards, gets a huge load of codechecker warnings by the moodle.org prechecker (for example https://moodle.org/plugins/enrol_semco/versions).

I am running Moodle-Plugin-CI with a rather unmodified Github actions workflow, so I do not think that I am missing something.
Can it be that the moodle.org prechecker simply uses a newer / stricter set of sniffs which has not been added / updated in Moodle-Plugin-CI yet? If yes, can this be added, please?

Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Perhaps it is using the moodle-extra ruleset? Here's how we use moodle-extra in mod_zoom for moodle-plugin-ci: https://github.com/ncstate-delta/moodle-mod_zoom/blob/main/.phpcs.xml

Thank you @jrchamp for this hint!

However, it was not the moodle-extra ruleset which was missing in moodle-plugin-ci. That ruleset is rather small (see https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-cs/blob/main/moodle-extra/ruleset.xml) and optional.

In constrast, I simply had to see that the moodle-cs codebase had evolved and moodle-plugin-ci did not adopt that up to now.
I was able to fix that and created #366.

Cheers,
Alex

I close this now as #366 was merged and a new moodle-plugin-ci release has been pushed out.

Thanks for your work!
