An error appears in the editor:

phpcs: Referenced sniff "PHPCompatibility" does not exist

Add-on for phpcs installed:

$ phpcs -i
The installed coding standards are MySource, PEAR, PSR1, PSR2, Squiz, Zend, WordPress, WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs, WordPress-Extra and WordPress-VIP

In the VC parameters it is written:
"phpcs.standard": "WordPress",
What and how else do you need to configure?

I installed and added PHPCompatibility to CodeSniffer.conf. After that, the phpcs plugin started swearing that "Referenced sniff "PHPCompatibility.PHP.RemovedExtensions" does not exist"...
I spent the whole day on this, but then I found the phpcs.xml file in my theme, made on the basis of underscores. dist - in which this deprecated PHP.RemovedExtensions was. I deleted the phpcs.xml.dist file from the theme folder - the plugin stopped swearing, validation worked as it should.
