The E2E tests fail for two unrelated reasons.

On the v2.x branch, every test that installs composer fails, locally and in CI. The generated test project required phpro/grumphp as dev-<branch>@dev, but composer reads a version-like branch such as v2.x as 2.x-dev, so the constraint never matched. PR builds run on a detached HEAD and fell back to the commit sha, which is why they kept passing. I replaced the constraint with *@dev. The path repository is canonical for phpro/grumphp, so this always resolves to the local checkout.

The random failures on the macOS runners come from git 2.47+. There, a commit starts a detached auto maintenance process that creates and removes .git/objects/maintenance.lock after the commit has returned, and that races the recursive chmod in the test cleanup. phpunit.xml.dist now disables maintenance.auto through the GIT_CONFIG_COUNT/KEY/VALUE environment variables, which every git process spawned by the tests inherits. I could not reproduce this one locally on git 2.39, so CI is the real check.

Without an image, AppVeyor uses Windows Server 2012 R2. There, choco install vcredist140 (needed for PHP 8.4+) regularly fails the TLS handshake with download.visualstudio.microsoft.com ("Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"), while the same URL downloads fine in other jobs. The Visual Studio 2022 image runs on Windows Server 2019, which has a newer TLS stack.
