Contributions summary:Jesse primarily contributed to enhancing the PHP command-line tool functionality. Their work included implementing and refining string manipulation utilities, such as `safe_strlen` and `safe_substr`, to handle character encodings safely. These changes involved adding fallback mechanisms for environments without the `mbstring` extension. Additionally, the user added and improved tests for the implemented functions.
