false-positive: method identical to parent's one / method only calls its parent method with php attributes

[homersimpsons]

Subject	Details
Plugin	Php Inspections (EA Extended), 5.6.0
Language level	8.2

Current behaviour

The following code reports "[EA] 'getInt' method can be dropped, as it identical to parent's one.":

class Parent {
  public function getInt(): int { return 1; }
}

class Child extends Parent {
  #[\Deprecated] // Or any other attribute
  public function getInt(): int { return 1; }
}

Similarly the following code reports "[EA] The 'getInt' method only calls its parent method, so it can be removed to simplify the code.":

class Parent {
  public function getInt(): int { return 1; }
}

class Child extends Parent {
  #[\Deprecated] // Or any other attribute
  public function getInt(): int { return parent::getInt(); }
}

Expected behaviour

This should not report anything as there is an attribute. In fact, to declare the attribute, you have to re-declare the method.

Note that I'm not sure if anything should be reported if we also have the attribute on the parent:

class Parent {
  #[\Deprecated]
  public function getInt(): int { return 1; }
}

I believe this is raised in:

phpinspectionsea/src/main/java/com/kalessil/phpStorm/phpInspectionsEA/inspectors/semanticalAnalysis/classes/SenselessMethodDuplicationInspector.java

Line 127 in c37a910

String.format(MessagesPresentationUtil.prefixWithEa(messagePatternIdentical), method.getName()),
