How MediaWiki loads WBStack custom code

MediaWiki loads WBStack custom code in 2 ways.

Firstly through entry point shims:

• (index|load|api|rest).php - MediaWiki entry points
  • src/Shim/*.php - These files are loaded at the start of the MediaWiki entry points
    • src/loadShim.php
      • src/Info/WBStackInfo.php - Main code for fetching things from the platform API
      • src/Logging/WikWikiSpi.php
      • src/Logging/WikWikiLogger.php

And secondly via LocalSettings.php

• LocalSettings.php - The actual MediaWiki settings file
  • src/Settings/LocalSettings.php - Is loaded from the MediaWiki LocalSettings.php (where it normally would be)
    • src/loadAll.php
    • src/Settings/Cache.php
    • src/loadInternal.php - Only loaded for the INTERNAL flavour of the app.
      • src/Internal/*
    • src/Settings/Hooks.php
