Doctrine ORM best practices for Symfony: entity mapping as source of truth, repositories, DQL/QueryBuilder with parameters, N+1 prevention with fetch joins, relations (cascade/fetch/orphanRemoval), lifecycle events, batch processing, and generated migrations. Apply when: writing or reviewing Doctrine entities, repositories, and queries. Activated automatically by symfony-plugin/stack.md as a convention skill for the development and database phases.
