Wamp64 on Windows + PHP Storm with automated deployment on the development server + Playwright will basically allow your agents editing code live, inspecting code per profile defined in the IDE using the MCP server and fixing the errors, and checking the result immediately on the development server.
This is probably the fastest setup I have come up with after playing with that for quite a while.
By automated deployment I mean the setting in the tools → deployment → auto upload, plus “accept external changes”. Which makes your IDE automatically deploy scripts as the agent is editing them.
