composer doesn't allow to check exclusion from one of the packages

If we switch to the Symfony this will work, but also could include ALL from Symfony packages which is not good for onion architecture.
Can You please explain me if this is a bug or maybe I don't know how to work with deptrac :)

Thanks for any help!

PS. I've found attribute and I was sure that was the collector what I was looking for - its for Assert fot DTO's. But with this config it's still not working & duplicate same errors:

    - name: SymfonyValidator
      collectors:
        - type: attribute
          value: 'Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints'

May I use to write my own attribute check if this not working? Can anyone reproduce? My DTO class:

<?php

namespace MiningCity\DirectMiningService\Application\Post\DTO\Request;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

final class UpdatePostRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    #[Assert\Type('string')]
    #[Assert\Length(min: 10)]
    public string $content;

    public ?\DateTime $publishedAt = null;
}

When I use this extra later and additionaly remove it from Symfony composer collector shows issues on two layers used on Application.

I think I get it - You check for ClassLikeReference or FunctionReference, but I can't see any ClassPropertyReference... Am I right?

I think what you need is to update your Symfony layer. Use the BoolCollector to make sure that the Symfony layer excludes Symfony\\Component\\Validator\\Constraint. Ideally by using the LayerCollector in your must_not configuration with the value of SymfonyValidator.
