forkcms
Fork is an easy to use open source CMS using Symfony Components.
Runssource: GitHubhomepagePHPMITcommit 0545b76bc67e
PHP, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: cms, doctrine, fork, fork cms, forkcms, hacktoberfest, php and symfony.
forkcms runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 23 minutes and hit 5 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Fork CMS vendor dependencies installed, custom PHP 8.4 CLI with intl is active, MariaDB 10.11 is running with forkcms_test database imported, 124 of 125 unit tests pass with the single failure being a pre-existing PHP 8.4 integer-string type issue in Profiles ModelTest
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- No MySQL server available for tests requiring a database8 minutes
- PHP 8.4 not available - needed static PHP binary4 minutes
- PHP 8.4 changed preg_match lookbehind assertion - test failure3 minutes
- composer.lock requires PHP <8.2, blocked install1 minute
- Profiles ModelTest::testInsertingProfileGroup fails - PDO returns ints not strings (PHP 8.4)
- Install time
- 23 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 23 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 5 hit, 5 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- phpunit --testsuite=unit exited with 125 tests, 377 assertions, 1 error (pre-existing PHP 8.4 type strictness in Profiles test)
- Model tokens used
- 486,582
- Exact commit tested

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.

Now I have all the data needed. Let me produce the final result.Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Recovered from all 5 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Took 23 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 20 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 21 cms projects Argusic has installed and timed, forkcms was the 17th fastest to reach a running state, and 17 of 21 reached one at all.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/forkcms)Questions
- Does forkcms run?
- Yes. forkcms runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 23 minutes, hitting 5 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test forkcms?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 0545b76bc67e. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test forkcms?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.76: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does forkcms take to install?
- 23 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does forkcms need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing forkcms?
- 5 things broke in the recorded run, and 5 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does forkcms compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 21 cms projects Argusic has installed and timed, forkcms was the 17th fastest to reach a running state, and 17 of 21 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for forkcms?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
