Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a fresh CodeIgniter 4 project that runs on PHP 8.2 or newer and follows the standard setup with the web root in the public folder. I want a clean starter site I can open in a browser right away, with the usual app, system, public, tests, and writable folders in place.

Please make sure the basic routing, a home page, and the command line tools work, and include sensible defaults for development so I can start adding pages, controllers, models, and validation without fighting the setup. If anything needs current setup details from the official docs, look them up online and follow the latest guidance.

Also make sure the project is ready for testing, code quality checks, and common framework tasks, so it feels like a proper CodeIgniter 4 base I can build on.

Are you gonna build this?
