CLI and framework are different
AML prepares and operates projects; PHPAML handles application requests. Updating AML does not silently rewrite your source code.
LESSON OBJECTIVE
What you will be able to do
Understand the boundary between AML, the framework, project source, and reconstructible runtime.
Find the project root
Commands walk to phpaml.json or require the current project root. A clear root prevents actions against the wrong folder.
Read help before guessing
aml help and command-specific usage are authoritative for the installed version. Documentation should match, but the binary decides available flags.
CHECKPOINT
Before you continue
If AML is updated, which project files may change automatically and which must remain untouched?
