CakePHP persistence

CakeORM Table / Entity stays in Infrastructure for Modular Hexagonal DDD.

Cake Table and Cake Entity are not Domain Entities. Keep them under Infrastructure and map to Domain Entities in repositories.

plugins/{Module}/src/Infrastructure/Persistence/
  Table/
  Repository/

From CakePHP 5.3+, TableContainer may inject Tables into Infra services — never into Domain/Use Cases.
