@mchirag2002 The flagged issue look fine to be fixed. For below,

Found several PHPCS issues in multiple files related to 'Short array syntax usage'

We at rtCamp prefer to use short-array syntax. So please update the phpcs.xml file to ignore that sniff.

I think this is happening because the theme elementary inside our composer package is not updated. What you are facing is an issue that was fixed a long time ago. I'll create task to update the composer theme

Confirm maximum PHP compatibility.

Tested the theme in PHP version 8.3 and everything works perfectly.
