+description: "Want to create online calendars so that you can display them on an iPhone's calendar app or in Google Calendar? This can be done by generating calendars in the iCalendar format (RFC 5545), a textual format that can be loaded by different applications. The format of such calendars is defined in [RFC 5545](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545), which is not a pleasant reading experience. This package implements [RFC 5545](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545) and some extensions from [RFC 7986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7986) to provide you an easy to use API for creating calendars. It's not our intention to implement these RFC's entirely but to provide a straightforward API that's easy to use."

+# ICalender Generatir
+
+## Generate calendars in the iCalendar format
+
+## Readme
+
+Here's an example of how to use it:
+
+```php
+use Spatie\IcalendarGenerator\Components\Calendar;
+use Spatie\IcalendarGenerator\Components\Event;
+
+Calendar::create('Laracon online')
+    ->event(Event::create('Creating calender feeds')
+        ->startsAt(new DateTime('6 March 2019 15:00'))
+        ->endsAt(new DateTime('6 March 2019 16:00'))
+    )
+    ->get();
+```
+
+The above code will generate this string:
+
+```
+BEGIN:VCALENDAR
+VERSION:2.0
+PRODID:spatie/icalendar-generator
+NAME:Laracon online
+X-WR-CALNAME:Laracon online
+BEGIN:VEVENT
+UID:5ef5c3f64cb2c
+DTSTAMP;TZID=UTC:20200626T094630
+SUMMARY:Creating calendar feeds
+DTSTART:20190306T150000Z
+DTEND:20190306T160000Z
+DTSTAMP:20190419T135034Z
+END:VEVENT
+END:VCALENDAR
+```
+
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install the package via composer:
+
+```bash
+composer require spatie/icalendar-generator
+```
+
+## Upgrading
+
+There were some substantial changes between v1 and v2 of the package. Check the [upgrade](https://github.com/spatie/icalendar-generator/blob/master/UPGRADING.md) guide for more information.
+
+## Usage
+
+Here's how you can create a calendar:
+
+``` php
+$calendar = Calendar::create();
+```
+
+You can give a name to the calendar:
+
+``` php
+$calendar = Calendar::create('Laracon Online');
+```
+
+A description can be added to a calendar:
+
+``` php
+$calendar = Calendar::create()
+    ->name('Laracon Online')
+    ->description('Experience Laracon all around the world');
+```
+
+In the end, you want to convert your calendar to text so that it can be streamed or downloaded to the user. Here's how you do that:
+
+``` php
+Calendar::create('Laracon Online')->get(); // BEGIN:VCALENDAR ...
+```
+
+When [streaming](#use-with-laravel) a calendar to an application, it is possible to set the calendar's refresh interval by duration in minutes. When setting this, the calendar application will check your server every time after the specified duration for changes to the calendar:
+
+``` php
+Calendar::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->refreshInterval(5)
+    ...
+```
+
+### Event
+
+An event can be created as follows. A name is not required, but a start date should always be given:
+
+``` php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->startsAt(new DateTime('6 march 2019'));
+```
+
+You can set the following properties on an event:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->name('Laracon Online')
+    ->description('Experience Laracon all around the world')
+    ->uniqueIdentifier('A unique identifier can be set here')
+    ->createdAt(new DateTime('6 march 2019'))
+    ->startsAt(new DateTime('6 march 2019 15:00'))
+    ->endsAt(new DateTime('6 march 2019 16:00'));
+```
+
+Want to create an event quickly with a start and end date?
+
+``` php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->period(new DateTime('6 march 2019'), new DateTime('7 march 2019'));
+```
+
+You can add a location to an event a such:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->address('Kruikstraat 22, 2018 Antwerp, Belgium')
+    ->addressName('Spatie HQ')
+    ->coordinates(51.2343, 4.4287)
+    ...
+```
+
+You can set the organizer of an event, the email address is required, but the name can be omitted:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->organizer('ruben@spatie.be', 'Ruben')
+    ...
+```
+
+Attendees of an event can be added as such:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->attendee('ruben@spatie.be') // only an email address is required
+    ->attendee('brent@spatie.be', 'Brent')
+    ...
+```
+
+You can also set the participation status of an attendee:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->attendee('ruben@spatie.be', 'Ruben', ParticipationStatus::Accepted)
+    ...
+```
+
+There are five participation statuses:
+
+- `ParticipationStatus::Accepted`
+- `ParticipationStatus::Declined`
+- `ParticipationStatus::Tentative`
+- `ParticipationStatus::NeedsAction`
+- `ParticipationStatus::Delegated`
+
+
+You can indicate that an attendee is required to RSVP to an event:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->attendee('ruben@spatie.be', 'Ruben', ParticipationStatus::NeedsAction, requiresResponse: true)
+    ...
+```
+
+An event can be made transparent, so it does not overlap visually with other events in a calendar:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->transparent()
+    ...
+```
+
+It is possible to create an event that spans a full day:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->fullDay()
+    ...
+```
+
+Please notice that an end date according to the spec is always non inclusive. So an event that spans a full day on March 6th 2019 should have March 7th 2019 as end date. Your calendar application should handle this correctly and display the event on March 6th only.
+
+The status of an event can be set:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->status(EventStatus::Cancelled)
+    ...
+```
+
+There are three event statuses:
+
+- `EventStatus::Confirmed`
+- `EventStatus::Cancelled`
+- `EventStatus::Tentative`
+
+An event can be classified(`Public`, `Private`, `Confidential`) as such:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->classification(Classification::Private)
+    ...
+```
+
+You can add a url attachment as such:
+
+```php
+Event::create()
+    ->attachment('https://spatie.be/logo.svg')
+    ->attachment('https://spatie.be/feed.xml', 'application/json')
+    ...
+```
+
+You can add an embedded attachment (base64) as such:
+
+```php
+Event::create()
+    ->embeddedAttachment($file->toString())
+    ->embeddedAttachment($fileString, 'application/json')
+    ->embeddedAttachment($base64String, 'application/json', needsEncoding: false)
+    ...
+```
+
+You can add an image as such:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->image('https://spatie.be/logo.svg')
+    ->image('https://spatie.be/logo.svg', 'text/svg+xml')
+    ->image('https://spatie.be/logo.svg', 'text/svg+xml', Display::Badge)
+    ...
+```
+
+There are four different image display types:
+
+- `Display::Badge`
+- `Display::Graphic`
+- `Display::Fullsize`
+- `Display::Thumbnail`
+
+You can add a sequence to an event as such:
+
+``` php
+Event::create()
+    ->sequence(1)
+    ...
+```
+
+After creating your event, it should be added to a calendar. There are multiple options to do this:
+
+``` php
+// As a single event parameter
+$event = Event::create('Creating calendar feeds');
+
+Calendar::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->event($event)
+    ...
+
+// As an array of events
+Calendar::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->event([
+        Event::create('Creating calender feeds'),
+        Event::create('Creating contact lists'),
+    ])
+    ...
+
+// As a closure
+Calendar::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->event(function(Event $event){
+        $event->name('Creating calender feeds');
+    })
+    ...
+```
+
+#### Using Carbon
+
+You can use the popular [Carbon library](https://carbon.nesbot.com/):
+
+``` php
+use Carbon\Carbon;
+
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->startsAt(Carbon::now())
+    ...
+```
+
+#### Timezones
+
+Events will use the [timezones]((https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.settimezone.php)) defined in the `DateTime` objects you provide. PHP always sets these timezones in a `DateTime` object. By default, this will be the UTC timezone, but it is possible to [change](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php) this.
+
+Just a reminder: do not use PHP's `setTimezone` function on a `DateTime` object, it will change the time according to the timezone! It is better to create a new `DateTime` object with a timezone as such:
+
+``` php
+new DateTime('6 march 2019 15:00', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Brussels'))
+```
+
+A point can be made for omitting timezones. For example, when you want to show an event at noon in the world. We define noon at 12 o'clock, but that time is relative. It is not the same for people in Belgium, Australia, or any other country in the world.
+
+That's why you can disable timezones on events:
+
+``` php
+$starts = new DateTime('6 march 2019 12:00')
+
+Event::create()
+    ->startsAt($starts)
+    ->withoutTimezone()
+    ...
+```
+
+You can even disable timezones for a whole calendar:
+
+``` php
+Calendar::create()
+   ->withoutTimezone()
+    ...
+```
+
+Each calendar should have Timezone components describing the timezones used within your calendar. Although not all calendar clients require this, it is recommended to add these components.
+
+Creating such Timezone components is quite complicated. That's why this package will automatically add them for you without configuration.
+
+You can disable this behaviour as such:
+
+``` php
+Calendar::create()
+   ->withoutAutoTimezoneComponents()
+    ...
+```
+
+Quick note, when using UTC offsets as timezones(e.g. `+02:00`), no Timezone components will be added automatically and the dates will automatically be converted to UTC.
+
+``` php
+$starts = new DateTime('6 march 2019 12:00', new DateTimeZone('+02:00'))
+
+Event::create()->startsAt($starts); // DTSTART will be 20190306T100000Z
+```
+
+You can manually add timezones to a calendar if desired as such:
+
+```php
+$timezoneEntry = TimezoneEntry::create(
+    TimezoneEntryType::Daylight,
+    new DateTime('23 march 2020'),
+    '+00:00',
+    '+02:00'
+);
+
+$timezone = Timezone::create('Europe/Brussels')
+    ->entry($timezoneEntry)
+    ...
+
+Calendar::create()
+    ->timezone($timezone)
+    ...
+```
+
+More on these timezones later.
+
+#### Alerts
+
+Alerts allow calendar clients to send reminders about specific events. For example, Apple Mail on an iPhone will send users a notification about the event. An alert always belongs to an event has a description and a number of minutes before the event it will be triggered:
+
+``` php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->alertMinutesBefore(5, 'Laracon online is going to start in five minutes');
+```
+
+You can also trigger an alert after the event:
+
+``` php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->alertMinutesAfter(5, 'Laracon online has ended, see you next year!');
+```
+
+Or trigger an alert on a specific date:
+
+``` php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->alertAt(
+       new DateTime('05/16/2020 12:00:00'),
+       'Laracon online has ended, see you next year!'
+    );
+```
+
+Removing timezones on a calendar or event will also remove timezones on the alert.
+
+
+### Repeating events
+
+It is possible for events to repeat, for example your monthly company dinner. This can be done as such:
+
+```php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->repeatOn(new DateTime('05/16/2020 12:00:00'));
+```
+
+And you can also repeat the event on a set of dates:
+
+```php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->repeatOn([new DateTime('05/16/2020 12:00:00'), new DateTime('08/13/2020 15:00:00')]);
+```
+
+#### Recurrence rules
+
+Recurrence rules or RRule's in short, make it possible to add a repeating event in your calendar by describing when it repeats within an RRule. First, we have to create an RRule:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily);
+```
+
+This rule describes an event that will be repeated daily. You can also set the frequency to `secondly`, `minutely`, `hourly`, `weekly`, `monthly` or `yearly`.
+
+The RRULE can be added to an event as such:
+
+``` php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->rrule(RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly));
+```
+
+It is possible to finetune the RRule to your personal taste; let's have a look!
+
+A RRule can start from a certain point in time:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily)->starting(new DateTime('now'));
+```
+
+And stop at a certain point:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily)->until(new DateTime('now'));
+```
+
+It can only be repeated for a few times, 10 times for example:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily)->times(10);
+```
+
+The interval of the repetition can be changed:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily)->interval(2);
+```
+
+When this event starts on Monday, for example, the next repetition of this event will not occur on Tuesday but Wednesday. You can do the same for all the frequencies.
+
+It is also possible to repeat the event on a specific weekday:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onWeekDay(
+   RecurrenceDay::Friday
+);
+```
+
+Or on a specific weekday of a week in the month:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onWeekDay(
+   RecurrenceDay::Friday, 3
+);
+```
+
+Or on the last weekday of a month:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onWeekDay(
+   RecurrenceDay::Sunday, -1
+);
+```
+
+You can repeat on a specific day in the month:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onMonthDay(16);
+```
+
+It is even possible to give an array of days in the month:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onMonthDay(
+   [5, 10, 15, 20]
+);
+```
+
+Repeating can be done for certain months (for example only in the second quarter):
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onMonth(
+   [RecurrenceMonth::April, RecurrenceMonth::May, RecurrenceMonth::June]
+);
+```
+
+Or just on one month only:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->onMonth(
+   RecurrenceMonth::October
+);
+```
+
+It is possible to set the day when the week starts:
+
+```php
+$rrule = RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Monthly)->weekStartsOn(
+   ReccurenceDay::monday()
+);
+```
+
+You can provide a specific date on which an event won't be repeated:
+
+```php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->rrule(RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily))
+    ->doNotRepeatOn(new DateTime('05/16/2020 12:00:00'));
+```
+
+It is also possible to give an array of dates on which the event won't be repeated:
+
+```php
+Event::create('Laracon Online')
+    ->rrule(RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily))
+    ->doNotRepeatOn([new DateTime('05/16/2020 12:00:00'), new DateTime('08/13/2020 15:00:00')]);
+```
+
+Alternatively you can add RRules as a string:
+
+```php
+Event::create('SymfonyCon')
+    ->rruleAsString('FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1');
+```
+
+If you add RRules as a string the timezones included in DTSTART and UNTIL are unknown to the package as the string is never parsed and evaluated. If they are known you can add DTSTART and UNTIL separately to help the package discover the timezones:
+
+```php
+Event::create('SymfonyCon')
+    ->rruleAsString(
+        'DTSTART=20231207T090000Z;FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20231208T090000Z',
+        new DateTime('7 december 2023 09:00:00', new DateTimeZone('UTC')),
+        new DateTime('8 december 2023 09:00:00', new DateTimeZone('UTC'))
+    );
+```
+
+### Todo's
+
+It is possible to add todo's to a calendar as such:
+
+```php
+$todo = Todo::create('My first todo')
+
+$calendar = Calendar::create('My calendar')->todo($todo);
+```
+
+Adding an array of todo's or using a closure for creating an inline todo is also possible, similar to events.
+
+A todo can be at a specified date:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->starts(new DateTime('2023-12-31 23:59:59'))
+    ...
+```
+
+And have a duration:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->duration(new DateInterval('PT1H30M'))
+    ...
+```
+
+Please notice that a todo with a duration always needs a start date.
+
+It is also possible to set the due date of a todo:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->due(new DateTime('2023-12-31 23:59:59'))
+    ...
+```
+
+It is impossible to set a start date and a due date on a todo, only one of them can be set.
+
+A todo can have a completion date:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->completedAt(new DateTime('2023-12-25 12:00:00'))
+    ...
+```
+
+You can set the percentage complete as such:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->percentComplete(75) // In a range from 0 to 100
+    ...
+```  
+
+It is possible to set the priority of a todo:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->priority(1) // In a range from 0 to 9
+    ...
+```
+
+The status of a todo can be set:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+    ->status(TodoStatus::Completed)
+    ...
+```
+
+There are four todo statuses:
+
+- `TodoStatus::NeedsAction`
+- `TodoStatus::Completed`
+- `TodoStatus::InProcess`
+- `TodoStatus::Cancelled`
+
+A todo has many similarities with events so the following methods are also available on todos:
+
+```php
+Todo::create()
+  ->description('Meeting about project updates')
+  ->uniqueIdentifier('event-12345')
+  ->createdAt(new DateTime('2024-01-15 09:00:00'))
+  ->withoutTimezone()
+  ->classification(Classification::Public)
+  ->url('https://example.com/details')
+  ->sequence(1)
+  ->attendee('john@example.com')
+  ->attachment('https://example.com/file.pdf')
+  ->address('123 Main St, New York')
+  ->addressName('Conference Room A')
+  ->coordinates(40.7128, -74.0060)
+  ->organizer('admin@example.com')
+  ->rrule('FREQ=DAILY')
+  ->alert(Alert::minutesBeforeStart(15))
+```
+
+### Use with Laravel
+
+You can use Laravel Responses to stream to calendar applications:
+
+``` php
+$calendar = Calendar::create('Laracon Online');
+
+return response($calendar->get())
+    ->header('Content-Type', 'text/calendar; charset=utf-8');
+```
+
+If you want to add the possibility for users to download a calendar and import it into a calendar application:
+
+``` php
+$calendar = Calendar::create('Laracon Online');
+
+return response($calendar->get(), 200, [
+   'Content-Type' => 'text/calendar; charset=utf-8',
+   'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="my-awesome-calendar.ics"',
+]);
+```
+
+### Crafting Timezones
+
+If you want to craft timezone components yourself, you're in the right place, although we advise you to read the [section](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.6.5) on timezones from the RFC first.
+
+You can create a timezone as such:
+
+```php
+$timezone = Timezone::create('Europe/Brussels');
+```
+
+It is possible to provide the last modified date:
+
+```php
+$timezone = Timezone::create('Europe/Brussels')
+    ->lastModified(new DateTime('16 may 2020 12:00:00'));
+```
+
+Or add an url with more information about the timezone:
+
+```php
+$timezone = Timezone::create('Europe/Brussels')
+    ->url('https://spatie.be');
+```
+
+A timezone consists of multiple entries where the time of the timezone changed relative to UTC, such entry can be constructed for standard or daylight time:
+
+```php
+$entry = TimezoneEntry::create(
+    TimezoneEntryType::Standard,
+    new DateTime('16 may 2020 12:00:00'),
+    '+00:00',
+    '+02:00'
+);
+```
+
+Firstly you provide the type of entry (`standard` or `daylight`). Then a `DateTime` when the time changes. Lastly, an offset relative to UTC from before the change and an offset relative to UTC after the change.
+
+It is also possible to give this entry a name and description:
+
+```php
+$entry = TimezoneEntry::create(...)
+    ->name('Europe - Brussels')
+    ->description('Belgian timezones ftw!');
+```
+
+An RRule for the entry can be given as such:
+
+```php
+$entry = TimezoneEntry::create(...)
+    ->rrule(RRule::frequency(RecurrenceFrequency::Daily));
+```
+
+In the end you can add an entry to a timezone:
+
+```php
+$timezone = Timezone::create('Europe/Brussels')
+   ->entry($timezoneEntry);
+```
+
+Or even add multiple entries:
+
+```php
+$timezone = Timezone::create('Europe/Brussels')
+   ->entry([$timezoneEntryOne, $timezoneEntryTwo]);
+```
+
+Now we've constructed our timezone it is time(👀) to add this timezone to our calendar:
+
+```php
+$calendar = Calendar::create('Calendar with timezones')
+   ->timezone($timezone);
+```
+
+It is also possible to add multiple timezones:
+
+```php
+$calendar = Calendar::create('Calendar with timezones')
+   ->timezone([$timezoneOne, $timezoneTwo]);
+```
+
+
+### Extending the package
+
+We try to keep this package as straightforward as possible. That's why a lot of properties and subcomponents from the RFC are not included in this package. We've made it possible to add other properties or subcomponents to each component if you might need something not included in the package. But be careful! From this moment, you're on your own correctly implementing the RFC's.
+
+#### Appending properties
+
+You can add a new property to a component like this:
+
+```php
+Calendar::create()
+    ->appendProperty(
+        TextProperty::create('ORGANIZER', 'ruben@spatie.be')
+    )
+    ...
+```
+
+Here we've added a `TextProperty `, and this is a default key-value property type with a text as value. You can also use one of the default properties included in the package or create your own by extending the `Property` class.
+
+Sometimes a property can have some additional parameters, these are key-value entries and can be added to properties as such:
+
+```php
+$property = TextProperty::create('ORGANIZER', 'ruben@spatie.be')
+    ->addParameter(Parameter::create('CN', 'RUBEN VAN ASSCHE'));
+
+Calendar::create()
+    ->appendProperty($property)
+    ...
+```
+
+#### Appending subcomponents
+
+
+A subcomponent can be appended as such:
+
+```php
+Calendar::create()
+    ->appendSubComponent(
+        Event::create('Extending icalendar-generator')
+    )
+    ...
+```
+
+It is possible to create your subcomponents by extending the `Component` class.

+description: "Use this skill to analyze how a Laravel application is actually written and record its conventions as shared rules. Trigger when the user wants to detect, infer, document, or standardize project conventions or coding style, set up or grow `.ai/rules`, resolve mixed or conflicting patterns (e.g. \"are we using Form Requests or inline validation?\"), or onboard agents and teammates to \"how we do things here\". Covers: a systematic sweep of ~49 Laravel convention dimensions (validation, models, architecture, testing, frontend, database, console), open-ended house-pattern discovery, conflict reporting, and recording rules scoped to the right paths via the Boost `record-rule` MCP tool. Do not use for one-off code review, enforcing formatting a linter already handles, or editing `.ai/rules` files by hand."

+
+# Infer Conventions
+
+Learn how this application writes Laravel, then record what you learn as durable, path-scoped rules other agents will read. You are documenting reality, not improving it.
+
+## Ground Rules (read before you start)
+
+- Consistency first. The codebase's majority style is the convention. Never judge it, never propose a "better" pattern, never record what the code should do. If the app validates inline everywhere, that is the rule, even if Form Requests would be nicer.
+- Skip what an active tool produces, keep what a tool would fight. Inspect the project's Pint and Rector configuration first; a Rector transformation is tooling-owned only when its package and relevant rule or set are installed and enabled. Active tools may rewrite code toward one canonical form: `$casts` to `casts()`, `$fillable` to attributes, magic accessors to the `Attribute` class, pipe-string rules to arrays, `$signature` to `#[Signature]`, named migrations to anonymous, and many more. When the app already sits at an active tool's target form, the tool owns it, so record nothing. But when the app deliberately holds a form an active tool would refactor away, such as legacy `getXxxAttribute()` accessors the `Attribute` class would replace, no tool can reproduce that choice and an agent defaults the other way. That against-the-grain hold is exactly what to record.
+- Record decisions, not defaults. A consistent pattern earns a rule only when it reflects a choice: the app took one valid option where the framework or common practice offered others, or the pattern would surprise a competent agent. Framework defaults steer nothing, so skip them: anonymous migrations, `$signature` commands, `ShouldQueue` jobs, `casts()` on Laravel 11+, named routes, Rule objects in `app/Rules`, and `Mail::fake()` or `Bus::fake()` to isolate framework services. A real fork is not enough on its own. Weigh the side the app took, and record only the side an agent would not reach for by itself: inline closures everywhere, legacy accessors, a bespoke query layer. Watch for the false fork too. "No Mockery" next to facade fakes is not a choice against Mockery, because they double different things. The test for every candidate: without this rule, would the next agent plausibly write it differently? Only "yes" earns a rule.
+- Architecture choices are the gold. Record presence and deliberate absence. The structural pattern the app commits to is the highest-signal convention and the one no tool can decide: Action classes and how they are invoked (`handle` / `execute` / `__invoke`), service objects, dedicated query objects exposing `builder()`, DTOs (spatie/laravel-data vs readonly classes), Form Request validation vs inline, an events and listeners spine vs direct calls, and domain or module folders. Also record a consistent non-pattern, such as "query Eloquent directly in controllers, no repository layer", so the next agent matches the app's altitude instead of over-engineering.
+- Never duplicate `.ai/rules`. Read `.ai/rules/index.md` and the area files before the sweep. A dimension already covered there is marked done and skipped.
+- Evidence or silence. A convention needs at least 3 consistent examples and no meaningful rival to become a candidate. Every Step 1 verdict applies this bar.
+- The recorded rule states the convention, nothing else. One or two imperative lines: this project does X, so do X here. Keep detection evidence out. No counts, ratios, current usage, file lists, or example paths, because that is proof for the confirm step, not part of the rule. One short syntax fragment at most, and point to `search-docs` for API details.
+
+## Process
+
+Each step ends on a checkable completion criterion. Do not advance until it holds.
+
+Fan out when you can. The sweep is embarrassingly parallel. If your environment can spawn subagents (a Task, dispatch, or equivalent tool), do Step 0 yourself, then hand each checklist group (A to J) and the architecture map to its own subagent. Each subagent runs the greps, reads a few representative files, and returns structured verdicts (dimension, verdict, evidence, proposed glob / title / note). You aggregate, dedupe, then run Steps 3 to 5. It is far faster on a real app. No subagents available? Run the steps in sequence, with the same bar and the same output.
+
+### Step 0: Orient
+
+Read `composer.json` (installed packages tell you which checklist groups apply), the `pint.json` / PHPStan / Rector config, `.ai/rules/index.md` if present, and most important, map the `app/` tree. List every directory under `app/` (and any `Modules/`, `src/`, `packages/`, or domain root). Every folder beyond Laravel's default skeleton (`Http`, `Models`, `Providers`, `Console`, `Exceptions`) is a structural pattern the app committed to and a high-value rule waiting to be written: `Actions`, `Services`, `Data` or DTOs, `Queries`, `Repositories`, `ViewModels`, `Pipelines`, `Support`, `Enums`, `Contracts`, `Observers`, or `Domain` and module roots. Note each one. You will confirm how it is used in Step 2.
+
+This app has no Livewire/Inertia/Flux packages installed. Treat the frontend group as likely API-only: confirm from `resources/views` before spending time there, and skip the Livewire/Inertia/Flux dimensions.
+
+Done when: you have the applicable checklist groups, the dimensions already recorded in `.ai/rules`, and a list of every non-default `app/` directory mapped to the pattern it represents.
+
+### Step 1: Predefined sweep
+
+Open `references/checklist.md` and work every applicable dimension using its search hints. Give each exactly one verdict:
+
+- Pattern. Clears the bar, rival under ~20% of sites, and reflects a real choice (passes the decisions-not-defaults test). A recording candidate. Cite 2 to 3 example files.
+- Conflict. Both styles present in meaningful numbers. Report the split with counts and example files. Never record a preferred winner while the code remains mixed, even in yolo, because that would describe an aspiration rather than reality. Record only if the user identifies a stable path or context boundary that explains both styles; otherwise defer until the code is reconciled.
+- Default. Consistent, but a framework or common-practice default the agent already writes unprompted. Skip it as a no-op, not a convention.
+- No signal. Under the bar: feature unused, or too few examples. Skip silently (one summary line at most).
+- Tooling-owned or Already-recorded. Skip per the ground rules.
+
+Done when: every applicable dimension carries exactly one of those verdicts.
+
+### Step 2: Open-ended pass
+
+First, close out the architecture map from Step 0. For every non-default `app/` directory you listed, confirm how the pattern is used and apply the same evidence and decisions-not-defaults tests as Step 1. Generator-standard or sparsely used directories such as `Rules`, `Observers`, `Mail`, and `Notifications` are signals to inspect, not automatic conventions. Make genuine structural patterns candidates: Action classes invoked via `handle` / `execute` / `__invoke`, Services constructor-injected, `Queries` objects exposing `builder(): Builder`, DTOs as readonly classes or spatie/laravel-data, module or domain folders as the unit of organization. Scope each qualifying pattern to its own directory glob. Also record a consistent deliberate absence, such as "no repository layer, controllers query Eloquent directly", so the next agent matches the app's altitude.
+
+Then find what else makes this codebase itself: base or abstract classes most code extends, traits used everywhere, tenancy or authorization scoping woven through queries, naming schemes, and custom helpers. Same evidence bar, cite files. Record every genuine structural pattern, and cap the other house findings at ~5 so the pass stays high-signal.
+
+Done when: every non-default `app/` directory from Step 0 has a verdict, and the pass has produced its cited house findings (or concluded there are none).
+
+### Step 3: Confirm
+
+Present every candidate in one batch. Per item: dimension, verdict, evidence (counts and files), and the exact proposed `glob` or `globs` / `title` / `note`. Conflicts are presented as questions about an existing context boundary or deferred cleanup, not as a choice of future style.
+
+Default mode is confirm: record only what the user approves. Switch to yolo only when the invocation said so ("yolo", "don't ask", "just record them"), then record all pattern candidates without asking. Conflicts still go to the user in yolo.
+
+Done when: every candidate is approved, rejected, or (conflicts) decided.
+
+### Step 4: Record
+
+Make one `record-rule` call for each glob an approved convention applies to. Choose the most specific globs that cover the cited evidence from the mapping table below; if a convention spans models and migrations, record it under both domains so agents discover it from either path. The `note` is the bare convention: strip every trace of detection (see the ground rule). If `record-rule` is unavailable (rules disabled), report the full rule text so the user can enable `BOOST_RULES_ENABLED` or add it by hand.
+
+Record this:
+
+> Accessors and mutators: use the legacy magic-method style (`getXxxAttribute()` / `setXxxAttribute()`), not the `Attribute` class. Match it in models.
+
+Not this:
+
+> Accessors/mutators use the legacy magic-method style; the `Attribute`-class style is not used anywhere (13 legacy, 0 Attribute-class), e.g. `app/Models/Post.php`. Match the legacy style in existing models.
+
+Done when: every approved item has a successful tool response, and any failure is reported with its rule text.
+
+### Step 5: Summarize
+
+List recorded rules (file and title), conflicts the user deferred, notable no-signals, and remind the user to commit `.ai/rules` so their team and agents share the conventions.
+
+## Glob mapping
+
+Attach each rule to the most specific path that covers its evidence. Never a lazy `app/**` when a subtree fits. Match the glob to where the code actually lives, which is not the same in a default skeleton and in a modular or DDD layout. Use the Step 0 `app/` map to pick the real path.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Models: `app/Models/**` in a default app, or `app/Modules/Blog/Models/**` / `src/Domain/Blog/**` in a modular one.
+- Controllers, routing, validation, responses: `app/Http/**`, or `app/Modules/*/Http/**` when each module owns its HTTP layer.
+- Actions, Services, DTOs: `app/Actions/**`, `app/Services/**`, `app/Data/**`, or the module path the app actually uses.
+- Tests: `tests/**`.
+- Migrations and database: `database/migrations/**`.
+- Truly app-wide (rare, e.g. auth retrieval): `app/**`.
+
+`record-rule` takes one glob. When a convention genuinely spans two domains (e.g. UUID keys touch models and migrations), call it once per domain with the same title and note; mentioning another path in the note does not make the rule discoverable there.
+
+## Edge cases
+
+- Rules disabled or `record-rule` missing: detection is read-only, so Steps 0 to 3 still run, and recording falls back to the manual path in Step 4.
+- Tiny or fresh app: most dimensions land on no-signal. Say so honestly ("not enough code to infer conventions yet") and record nothing.
+- Huge app: each dimension is a bounded grep plus a handful of file reads. Sample representative files, do not read everything.
+- Re-runs: reading `.ai/rules` in Step 0 makes re-runs incremental, so only new or undecided dimensions surface.
+- Non-standard layout (modules, DDD): the open-ended pass catches the layout itself as convention #1. Adapt the globs in the mapping table to the observed paths.

+# Detection Checklist
+
+Every dimension here is a genuine fork: Laravel offers two or more valid approaches, the app's choice changes what the next agent writes, and no active project tool can pick for you. Left out on purpose: pure formatting (Pint owns it), any form an installed and enabled Rector rule rewrites to one canonical shape (`$casts` to `casts()`, `$fillable` to attributes, pipe-string rules to arrays, named to anonymous migrations, `$signature` to `#[Signature]`), and framework defaults any agent writes unprompted (`ShouldQueue` jobs, relation return types, `HasFactory`).
+
+Each item gives the fork, then a hint (a grep or dir to spot which side the app takes). Hints are only a start. Read the matched files, never record on a raw count. Apply the ground rules to every verdict: a consistent choice that is a default or a tool's target form is not a pattern. Rows tagged (architecture) are the highest-signal, so record presence and deliberate absence.
+
+---
+
+## A. Validation & HTTP input
+
+1. Validation entry point: inline `$request->validate()` vs Form Request classes vs `Validator::make()`.
+   - Hint: `ls app/Http/Requests`; grep `->validate(` / `Validator::make(` in `app/Http/Controllers`.
+2. Custom rule location: invokable rule objects in `app/Rules` vs inline closures vs `Validator::extend()` in a provider. Rule objects are the default `make:rule` path, so record only if the app leans on closures or `Validator::extend` instead. "No rule objects" alone is just no-signal.
+   - Hint: `ls app/Rules`; grep `Validator::extend` in `app/Providers`.
+3. Typed input retrieval: typed getters (`$request->string()`, `->integer()`, `->enum()`, `->date()`) vs raw `$request->input()` / dynamic properties.
+   - Hint: grep `->string(` / `->integer(` / `->enum(` vs `->input(` in `app/Http`.
+4. Custom messages/attributes: `lang/*/validation.php` vs Form Request `messages()` / `attributes()` methods.
+   - Hint: `ls lang`; grep `function messages`, `function attributes` in `app/Http/Requests`.
+
+## B. Controllers & routing
+
+5. Controller shape: invokable single-action (`__invoke`) vs resource controllers vs plain multi-method.
+   - Hint: grep `__invoke` in controllers; `Route::resource` / `apiResource` vs verb routes.
+6. Business-logic location (architecture): fat controllers vs delegated to Actions / Services / Jobs.
+   - Hint: read a few controller methods; `ls app/Actions app/Services`.
+7. Route handler style: closures in `routes/*.php` vs controller classes.
+   - Hint: count `function ()` vs `::class` in `routes/web.php`, `routes/api.php`.
+8. Middleware assignment: route/group `->middleware()` vs controller `HasMiddleware::middleware()` vs `#[Middleware]` attribute.
+   - Hint: grep `implements HasMiddleware`, `#[Middleware(` in controllers vs `->middleware(` in routes.
+9. Route model binding: implicit (type-hinted models) vs explicit `Route::bind` vs manual `findOrFail`.
+   - Hint: typed model params in signatures vs `findOrFail(` in controllers; grep `Route::bind`.
+10. Rate limiting: named `RateLimiter::for()` + `throttle:name` vs inline `throttle:60,1`.
+    - Hint: grep `RateLimiter::for` in providers vs `throttle:` in route files.
+
+## C. Authorization
+
+11. Authorization home: Gates (`Gate::define`) vs Policy classes in `app/Policies`.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Policies`; grep `Gate::define` in `app/Providers`.
+12. Authorization call site: `$this->authorize()` / `Gate::authorize()` vs `$user->can()` vs `can` middleware vs `#[Authorize]` vs `@can` in Blade.
+    - Hint: grep `authorize(`, `->can(`, `middleware('can:`, `#[Authorize(`, `@can(`.
+
+## D. Eloquent & models
+
+13. Mass assignment: `$fillable` allow-list vs `$guarded` block-list.
+    - Hint: grep `protected $fillable` / `protected $guarded` in `app/Models`.
+14. Accessors/mutators: modern `Attribute` class vs legacy `getXxxAttribute()` / `setXxxAttribute()`. Record a legacy hold, it goes against the tool's grain.
+    - Hint: grep `: Attribute` / `Attribute::make` vs `function get[A-Z].*Attribute` in `app/Models`.
+15. Primary keys: auto-increment vs `HasUuids` vs `HasUlids`.
+    - Hint: grep `HasUuids` / `HasUlids` in `app/Models`; migration `id()` vs `uuid('id')`.
+16. Custom casts: dedicated `CastsAttributes` classes (`app/Casts`) vs inline `Attribute` vs built-in cast strings.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Casts`; grep `Cast::class`, `AsStringable::class` in models.
+17. Data/query layer (architecture): Eloquent directly in controllers vs repositories vs dedicated query objects (e.g. classes exposing `builder(): Builder`).
+    - Hint: `ls app/Repositories app/Queries`; see where non-trivial queries are built.
+18. Query scopes: local `scope`/`#[Scope]` methods vs dedicated builder classes.
+    - Hint: grep `function scope` / `#[Scope]` in models; `ls app/*/Builders`.
+19. Model events: observers (`app/Observers`, `#[ObservedBy]`) vs `booted()` closures vs event classes.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Observers`; grep `booted`, `::observe`, `#[ObservedBy]`.
+20. Eager-load posture: explicit per-query `->with()` vs model-level `$with` defaults. Treat `preventLazyLoading()` separately as a development guard because it can complement either posture.
+    - Hint: grep `protected $with`, `->with(`, and separately `preventLazyLoading` in `app/`.
+
+## E. Architecture & organization
+
+21. Action/Service structure (architecture): Action classes (invoked via `handle` / `execute` / `__invoke`) vs service objects vs neither. Cross-check the Step 0 `app/` map: any `Actions`/`Services`/`Pipelines`/`Jobs`-as-actions folder is this pattern, so record how it is invoked.
+    - Hint: `ls app/` (the whole tree, not just `Actions`/`Services`); grep the invocation method in the folder you find.
+22. DTOs (architecture): spatie/laravel-data vs plain readonly classes vs arrays everywhere.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Data`; grep `extends Data`, `readonly class` in `app/`.
+23. Dependency acquisition: constructor/method injection vs `app()` / `resolve()` / `App::make()` service location.
+    - Hint: grep `app(` / `resolve(` / `::make(` in `app/` vs promoted constructor deps.
+24. Decoupling: events + listeners vs direct service calls.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Events app/Listeners`; grep `event(`, `::dispatch(`.
+25. Helper vs facade idiom: global helpers (`config()`, `auth()`, `response()`) vs facades (`Config::`, `Auth::`, `Response::`).
+    - Hint: ratio of `config(` vs `Config::` (etc.) across `app/`.
+26. Namespace layout (architecture): default `app/` skeleton vs domain/module folders (`app/Domain/**`, modules).
+    - Hint: `ls app/`, look for `Domain/`, `Modules/`, bounded-context folders.
+27. Enums: backed vs pure; case naming; where they live.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Enums`; grep `enum .*: string`, `enum .*: int`.
+
+## F. Frontend & views
+
+No Livewire/Inertia/Flux package is installed. This app may be API-only. Confirm from `resources/views` before sweeping, and treat the Livewire/Flux dimensions as not applicable.
+
+28. Frontend stack: Blade+Livewire vs Inertia (Vue/React/Svelte) vs Blade-only / API + separate SPA.
+    - Hint: `composer.json` + `package.json`; `ls resources/js/pages`, `resources/views`.
+29. Blade composition: class `<x-*>` components vs anonymous components (`@props`) vs `@include` partials.
+    - Hint: `ls app/View/Components`; grep `<x-`, `@include` in `resources/views`.
+32. Localization: short keys (`lang/*/*.php` + `__('messages.welcome')`) vs JSON string keys (`lang/*.json` + `__('Full sentence')`).
+    - Hint: `ls lang`; grep dotted `__('` vs sentence keys.
+
+## G. Database & migrations
+
+33. Foreign keys: `foreignId()->constrained()` vs `foreignIdFor(Model::class)` vs manual `foreign()->references()->on()`.
+    - Hint: grep `foreignId(`, `foreignIdFor(`, `->foreign(` in `database/migrations`.
+34. `down()` methods: real reverse logic vs omitted / one-way migrations.
+    - Hint: grep `function down` vs the migration count.
+35. Enum storage: DB `enum()` column vs `string()` + PHP-enum cast on the model.
+    - Hint: grep `->enum(` in migrations vs string columns cast to enums.
+36. Transactions: `DB::transaction(fn ...)` closure vs manual `beginTransaction` / `commit` / `rollBack`.
+    - Hint: grep `DB::transaction`, `beginTransaction` in `app/`.
+37. Idempotent writes: `upsert` / `updateOrCreate` / `firstOrCreate` vs find-then-save.
+    - Hint: grep `upsert(`, `updateOrCreate(`, `firstOrCreate(` in `app/`.
+
+## H. Testing
+
+38. Framework: Pest (`it()` / `test()` / `expect()`) vs PHPUnit classes.
+    - Hint: `ls tests/Pest.php`; grep `it(` / `test(` vs `extends TestCase`.
+39. DB reset: `RefreshDatabase` vs `DatabaseTruncation` vs `DatabaseMigrations`.
+    - Hint: grep those trait names in `tests/`.
+40. Fixtures: compare how equivalent test-owned records are created, such as factories vs manual inserts. Track seeders separately for shared reference data because `$this->seed()` commonly and legitimately coexists with factories.
+    - Hint: grep `::factory(` and direct inserts in `tests/`; separately inspect `$this->seed(` calls and what those seeders provide.
+41. Collaborator isolation: how the app doubles its own classes, Mockery `mock()` / `spy()` vs real integration. Ignore facade fakes like `Mail::fake()` here, they isolate framework services by default and are not a fork against Mockery.
+    - Hint: grep `->mock(`, `->spy(`, `Mockery::` in `tests/`.
+42. Endpoint assertions: array `assertJson([...])` / `assertJsonFragment` vs fluent `AssertableJson`.
+    - Hint: grep `AssertableJson`, `assertJsonFragment` in `tests/`.
+
+## I. Responses & API resources
+
+43. Response shape: API Resource classes vs `response()->json()` vs returning models/arrays directly.
+    - Hint: `ls app/Http/Resources`; grep `JsonResource`, `->json(` in controllers.
+44. Resource relationship inclusion: `whenLoaded()` guards vs unconditional relationship access. Do not count ordinary scalar attributes as rivals to conditional relationships, and evaluate general `when()` fields separately.
+    - Hint: compare relationship fields using `whenLoaded(` with unconditional relationship property access in `app/Http/Resources`.
+45. Pagination contracts: within comparable endpoint categories, length-aware `paginate()` vs `simplePaginate()` vs `cursorPaginate()`. These have different totals, navigation, ordering, and performance contracts, so record only a stable path-scoped API policy, never a project-wide majority.
+    - Hint: grep those in `app/`, then group matches by endpoint type and client contract before comparing them.
+46. Web redirects/URLs: `route('name')` vs `url('/path')` vs `action([...])`.
+    - Hint: grep `route('`, `url('/`, `action([` in `app/Http` and views.
+
+## J. Strings, collections & dates
+
+47. Iteration idiom: `collect()->map()->filter()` pipelines vs `array_map` / `foreach`.
+    - Hint: grep `collect(`, `->map(` vs `array_map`, `foreach` density in `app/`.
+48. String API: fluent `Str::of()->...` (Stringable) vs static `Str::` vs native (`trim`, `strtoupper`).
+    - Hint: grep `Str::of(` vs `Str::` vs native string funcs.
+49. Dates: compare equivalent construction call styles (`now()` / `today()` helpers vs `Carbon::`) separately from the application's mutable/immutable date policy. `Date::use(CarbonImmutable::class)` can make helpers return immutable dates, so those signals are complementary rather than conflicting.
+    - Hint: grep `now(` and `Carbon::` for call style; separately inspect `CarbonImmutable` and `Date::use` for mutability policy.
+
+---
+
+Genuine forks only. Every row survived the "no tool can decide this, and it isn't the default" filter. Give each applicable dimension exactly one verdict: pattern, conflict, default, no-signal, tooling-owned, or already-recorded. The rows tagged (architecture) are where the highest-value rules come from.

+# Laravel Best Practices
+
+Best practices for Laravel, organized as an index of rule files. Each rule file teaches what to do and why. For exact API syntax, verify with `search-docs`.
+
+## Consistency First
+
+Before applying any rule, check what the application already does. Laravel offers multiple valid approaches, and the best choice is the one the codebase already uses, even if another pattern would be theoretically better. Inconsistency is worse than a suboptimal pattern.
+
+Check sibling files, related controllers, models, or tests for established patterns. If one exists, follow it. Don't introduce a second way. These rules are defaults for when no pattern exists yet, not overrides.
+
+## How to Apply
+
+1. Check the changed files, nearby code, project configuration, and relevant tests for established patterns. Deviate only for a correctness or security defect, and call the deviation out.
+2. Map every affected concern to the rule index below. Read each mapped rule file before editing. Skip unrelated rule files.
+3. Make the smallest coherent change. Keep the application's architecture and naming instead of introducing a second pattern for the same job.
+4. Verify version-sensitive Laravel APIs for the installed version with `search-docs`, or inspect the installed framework when it is unavailable.
+5. Run the narrowest relevant tests first, then the project's formatting and static-analysis checks when the change warrants them.
+6. Re-read the diff against every mapped rule before finishing.
+
+## Rule Index
+
+Cross-cutting changes often need more than one rule file.

+- Prefer framework features and existing application abstractions over new helpers or dependencies.
+- Avoid speculative abstractions. Extract code when it creates a clear domain boundary, removes meaningful duplication, or makes behavior independently testable.
+- Keep database access out of Blade views and prevent hidden N+1 queries across controllers, resources, jobs, and serialization.

+# Advanced Query Patterns
+
+## Use `addSelect()` Subqueries for Single Values from Has-Many
+
+Instead of eager-loading an entire has-many relationship for a single value (like the latest timestamp), use a correlated subquery via `addSelect()`. This pulls the value directly in the main SQL query — zero extra queries.
+
+```php
+public function scopeWithLastLoginAt($query): void
+{
+    $query->addSelect([
+        'last_login_at' => Login::select('created_at')
+            ->whereColumn('user_id', 'users.id')
+            ->latest()
+            ->take(1),
+    ])->withCasts(['last_login_at' => 'datetime']);
+}
+```
+
+## Create Dynamic Relationships via Subquery FK
+
+Extend the `addSelect()` pattern to fetch a foreign key via subquery, then define a `belongsTo` relationship on that virtual attribute. This provides a fully-hydrated related model without loading the entire collection.
+
+```php
+public function lastLogin(): BelongsTo
+{
+    return $this->belongsTo(Login::class);
+}
+
+public function scopeWithLastLogin($query): void
+{
+    $query->addSelect([
+        'last_login_id' => Login::select('id')
+            ->whereColumn('user_id', 'users.id')
+            ->latest()
+            ->take(1),
+    ])->with('lastLogin');
+}
+```
+
+## Use Conditional Aggregates Instead of Multiple Count Queries
+
+Replace N separate `count()` queries with a single query using `CASE WHEN` inside `selectRaw()`. Use `toBase()` to skip model hydration when you only need scalar values.
+
+```php
+$statuses = Feature::toBase()
+    ->selectRaw("count(case when status = 'Requested' then 1 end) as requested")
+    ->selectRaw("count(case when status = 'Planned' then 1 end) as planned")
+    ->selectRaw("count(case when status = 'Completed' then 1 end) as completed")
+    ->first();
+```
+
+## Use `setRelation()` to Prevent Circular N+1
+
+When a parent model is eager-loaded with its children, and the view also needs `$child->parent`, use `setRelation()` to inject the already-loaded parent rather than letting Eloquent fire N additional queries.
+
+```php
+$feature->load('comments.user');
+$feature->comments->each->setRelation('feature', $feature);
+```
+
+## Prefer `whereIn` + Subquery Over `whereHas`
+
+`whereHas()` emits a correlated `EXISTS` subquery that re-executes per row. Using `whereIn()` with a `select('id')` subquery lets the database use an index lookup instead, without loading data into PHP memory.
+
+Incorrect (correlated EXISTS re-executes per row):
+
+```php
+$query->whereHas('company', fn ($q) => $q->where('name', 'like', $term));
+```
+
+Correct (index-friendly subquery, no PHP memory overhead):
+
+```php
+$query->whereIn('company_id', Company::where('name', 'like', $term)->select('id'));
+```
+
+## Sometimes Two Simple Queries Beat One Complex Query
+
+Running a small, targeted secondary query and passing its results via `whereIn` is often faster than a single complex correlated subquery or join. The additional round-trip is worthwhile when the secondary query is highly selective and uses its own index.
+
+## Use Compound Indexes Matching `orderBy` Column Order
+
+When ordering by multiple columns, create a single compound index in the same column order as the `ORDER BY` clause. Individual single-column indexes cannot combine for multi-column sorts — the database will filesort without a compound index.
+
+```php
+// Migration
+$table->index(['last_name', 'first_name']);
+
+// Query — column order must match the index
+User::query()->orderBy('last_name')->orderBy('first_name')->paginate();
+```
+
+## Use Correlated Subqueries for Has-Many Ordering
+
+When sorting by a value from a has-many relationship, avoid joins (they duplicate rows). Use a correlated subquery inside `orderBy()` instead, paired with an `addSelect` scope for eager loading.
+
+```php
+public function scopeOrderByLastLogin($query): void
+{
+    $query->orderByDesc(Login::select('created_at')
+        ->whereColumn('user_id', 'users.id')
+        ->latest()
+        ->take(1)
+    );
+}
+```

+# Architecture Best Practices
+
+## Single-Purpose Action Classes
+
+Extract discrete business operations into invokable Action classes.
+
+```php
+class CreateOrderAction
+{
+    public function __construct(private InventoryService $inventory) {}
+
+    public function handle(array $data): Order
+    {
+        $order = Order::create($data);
+        $this->inventory->reserve($order);
+
+        return $order;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Use Dependency Injection
+
+Always use constructor injection. Avoid `app()` or `resolve()` inside classes.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+class OrderController extends Controller
+{
+    public function store(StoreOrderRequest $request)
+    {
+        $service = app(OrderService::class);
+
+        return $service->create($request->validated());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+class OrderController extends Controller
+{
+    public function __construct(private OrderService $service) {}
+
+    public function store(StoreOrderRequest $request)
+    {
+        return $this->service->create($request->validated());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Code to Interfaces
+
+Depend on contracts at system boundaries (payment gateways, notification channels, external APIs) for testability and swappability.
+
+Incorrect (concrete dependency):
+```php
+class OrderService
+{
+    public function __construct(private StripeGateway $gateway) {}
+}
+```
+
+Correct (interface dependency):
+```php
+interface PaymentGateway
+{
+    public function charge(int $amount, string $customerId): PaymentResult;
+}
+
+class OrderService
+{
+    public function __construct(private PaymentGateway $gateway) {}
+}
+```
+
+Bind in a service provider:
+
+```php
+$this->app->bind(PaymentGateway::class, StripeGateway::class);
+```
+
+## Default Sort by Descending
+
+When no explicit order is specified, sort by `id` or `created_at` descending. Without an explicit `ORDER BY`, row order is undefined.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$posts = Post::paginate();
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$posts = Post::latest()->paginate();
+```
+
+## Use Atomic Locks for Race Conditions
+
+Prevent race conditions with `Cache::lock()` or `lockForUpdate()`.
+
+```php
+Cache::lock('order-processing-'.$order->id, 10)->block(5, function () use ($order) {
+    $order->process();
+});
+
+// Or at query level
+$product = Product::where('id', $id)->lockForUpdate()->first();
+```
+
+## Use `mb_*` String Functions
+
+When no Laravel helper exists, prefer `mb_strlen`, `mb_strtolower`, etc. for UTF-8 safety. Standard PHP string functions count bytes, not characters.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+strlen('José');          // 5 (bytes, not characters)
+strtolower('MÜNCHEN');  // 'mÜnchen' — fails on multibyte
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+mb_strlen('José');             // 4 (characters)
+mb_strtolower('MÜNCHEN');     // 'münchen'
+
+// Prefer Laravel's Str helpers when available
+Str::length('José');          // 4
+Str::lower('MÜNCHEN');        // 'münchen'
+```
+
+## Use `defer()` for Post-Response Work
+
+For lightweight tasks that don't need to survive a crash (logging, analytics, cleanup), use `defer()` instead of dispatching a job. The callback runs after the HTTP response is sent — no queue overhead.
+
+Incorrect (job overhead for trivial work):
+```php
+dispatch(new LogPageView($page));
+```
+
+Correct (runs after response, same process):
+```php
+defer(fn () => PageView::create(['page_id' => $page->id, 'user_id' => auth()->id()]));
+```
+
+Use jobs when the work must survive process crashes or needs retry logic. Use `defer()` for fire-and-forget work.
+
+## Use `Context` for Request-Scoped Data
+
+The `Context` facade passes data through the entire request lifecycle — middleware, controllers, jobs, logs — without passing arguments manually.
+
+```php
+// In middleware
+Context::add('tenant_id', $request->header('X-Tenant-ID'));
+
+// Anywhere later — controllers, jobs, log context
+$tenantId = Context::get('tenant_id');
+```
+
+Context data automatically propagates to queued jobs and is included in log entries. Use `Context::addHidden()` for sensitive data that should be available in queued jobs but excluded from log context. If data must not leave the current process, do not store it in `Context`.
+
+## Use `Concurrency::run()` for Parallel Execution
+
+Run independent operations in parallel using child processes — no async libraries needed.
+
+```php
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Concurrency;
+
+[$users, $orders] = Concurrency::run([
+    fn () => User::count(),
+    fn () => Order::where('status', 'pending')->count(),
+]);
+```
+
+Each closure runs in a separate process with full Laravel access. Use for independent database queries, API calls, or computations that would otherwise run sequentially.
+
+## Convention Over Configuration
+
+Follow Laravel conventions. Don't override defaults unnecessarily.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+class Customer extends Model
+{
+    protected $table = 'Customer';
+    protected $primaryKey = 'customer_id';
+
+    public function roles(): BelongsToMany
+    {
+        return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class, 'role_customer', 'customer_id', 'role_id');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+class Customer extends Model
+{
+    public function roles(): BelongsToMany
+    {
+        return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class);
+    }
+}
+```

+# Blade & Views Best Practices
+
+## Use `$attributes->merge()` in Component Templates
+
+Hardcoding classes prevents consumers from adding their own. `merge()` combines class attributes cleanly.
+
+```blade
+<div {{ $attributes->merge(['class' => 'alert alert-'.$type]) }}>
+    {{ $message }}
+</div>
+```
+
+## Use `@pushOnce` for Per-Component Scripts
+
+If a component renders inside a `@foreach`, `@push` inserts the script N times. `@pushOnce` guarantees it's included exactly once.
+
+## Prefer Blade Components Over `@include`
+
+`@include` shares all parent variables implicitly (hidden coupling). Components have explicit props, attribute bags, and slots.
+
+## Use View Composers for Shared View Data
+
+If every controller rendering a sidebar must pass `$categories`, that's duplicated code. A View Composer centralizes it.
+
+## Use Blade Fragments for Partial Re-Renders (htmx/Turbo)
+
+A single view can return either the full page or just a fragment, keeping routing clean.
+
+```php
+return view('dashboard', compact('users'))
+    ->fragmentIf($request->hasHeader('HX-Request'), 'user-list');
+```
+
+## Use `@aware` for Deeply Nested Component Props
+
+Avoids re-passing parent props through every level of nested components.

+# Caching Best Practices
+
+## Use `Cache::remember()` Instead of Manual Get/Put
+
+Cleaner cache-aside pattern that removes boilerplate. use `Cache::lock()` for race conditions.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$val = Cache::get('stats');
+if (! $val) {
+    $val = $this->computeStats();
+    Cache::put('stats', $val, 60);
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$val = Cache::remember('stats', 60, fn () => $this->computeStats());
+```
+
+## Use `Cache::flexible()` for Stale-While-Revalidate
+
+On high-traffic keys, one user always gets a slow response when the cache expires. `flexible()` serves slightly stale data while refreshing in the background.
+
+Incorrect: `Cache::remember('users', 300, fn () => User::all());`
+
+Correct: `Cache::flexible('users', [300, 600], fn () => User::all());` — fresh for 5 min, stale-but-served up to 10 min, refreshes via deferred function.
+
+## Use `Cache::memo()` to Avoid Redundant Hits Within a Request
+
+If the same cache key is read multiple times per request (e.g., a service called from multiple places), `memo()` stores the resolved value in memory.
+
+`Cache::memo()->get('settings');` — 5 calls = 1 Redis round-trip instead of 5.
+
+## Use Cache Tags to Invalidate Related Groups
+
+Without tags, invalidating a group of entries requires tracking every key. Tags let you flush atomically. Only works with `redis`, `memcached`, `dynamodb` — not `file` or `database`.
+
+```php
+Cache::tags(['user-1'])->flush();
+```
+
+## Use `Cache::add()` for Atomic Conditional Writes
+
+`add()` only writes if the key does not exist — atomic, no race condition between checking and writing.
+
+Incorrect: `if (! Cache::has('lock')) { Cache::put('lock', true, 10); }`
+
+Correct: `Cache::add('lock', true, 10);`
+
+## Use `once()` for Per-Request Memoization
+
+`once()` memoizes a function's return value for the lifetime of the object (or request for closures). Unlike `Cache::memo()`, it doesn't hit the cache store at all — pure in-memory.
+
+```php
+public function roles(): Collection
+{
+    return once(fn () => $this->loadRoles());
+}
+```
+
+Multiple calls return the cached result without re-executing. Use `once()` for expensive computations called multiple times per request. Use `Cache::memo()` when you also want cross-request caching.
+
+## Configure Failover Cache Stores in Production
+
+If Redis goes down, the app falls back to a secondary store automatically.
+
+```php
+'failover' => ['driver' => 'failover', 'stores' => ['redis', 'database']],
+```

+Incorrect:

+});
+```
+
+Correct: `$users->each->markAsVip();`
+
+Works with `each`, `map`, `sum`, `filter`, `reject`, `contains`, etc.
+
+## Choose `cursor()` vs. `lazy()` Correctly
+
+- `cursor()` — one model in memory, but cannot eager-load relationships (N+1 risk).
+- `lazy()` — chunked pagination returning a flat LazyCollection, supports eager loading.
+
+Incorrect: `User::with('roles')->cursor()` — eager loading silently ignored.
+
+Correct: `User::with('roles')->lazy()` for relationship access; `User::cursor()` for attribute-only work.
+
+## Use `lazyById()` When Updating Records While Iterating
+
+`lazy()` uses offset pagination — updating records during iteration can skip or double-process. `lazyById()` uses `id > last_id`, safe against mutation.
+
+## Use `toQuery()` for Bulk Operations on Collections
+
+Avoids manual `whereIn` construction.
+
+Incorrect: `User::whereIn('id', $users->pluck('id'))->update([...]);`
+
+Correct: `$users->toQuery()->update([...]);`

+```
+
+Correct:
+```php

+php artisan env:decrypt --env=production

+
+For cloud deployments, prefer the platform's native secret store (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, etc.) and inject at runtime.

+
+If the application already uses language files for localization, use `__()` for user-facing strings too. Do not introduce language files purely for English-only apps — simple string literals are fine there.

+# Database Performance Best Practices
+
+## Always Eager Load Relationships
+
+Lazy loading causes N+1 query problems — one query per loop iteration. Always use `with()` to load relationships upfront.
+
+Incorrect (N+1 — executes 1 + N queries):
+```php
+$posts = Post::all();
+foreach ($posts as $post) {
+    echo $post->author->name;
+}
+```
+
+Correct (2 queries total):
+```php
+$posts = Post::with('author')->get();
+foreach ($posts as $post) {
+    echo $post->author->name;
+}
+```
+
+Constrain eager loads to select only needed columns (always include the foreign key):
+
+```php
+$users = User::with(['posts' => function ($query) {
+    $query->select('id', 'user_id', 'title')
+          ->where('published', true)
+          ->latest()
+          ->limit(10);
+}])->get();
+```
+
+## Prevent Lazy Loading in Development
+
+Enable this in `AppServiceProvider::boot()` to catch N+1 issues during development.
+
+```php
+public function boot(): void
+{
+    Model::preventLazyLoading(! app()->isProduction());
+}
+```
+
+Throws `LazyLoadingViolationException` when a relationship is accessed without being eager-loaded.
+
+## Select Only Needed Columns
+
+Avoid `SELECT *` — especially when tables have large text or JSON columns.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$posts = Post::with('author')->get();
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$posts = Post::select('id', 'title', 'user_id', 'created_at')
+    ->with(['author:id,name,avatar'])
+    ->get();
+```
+
+When selecting columns on eager-loaded relationships, always include the foreign key column or the relationship won't match.
+
+## Chunk Large Datasets
+
+Never load thousands of records at once. Use chunking for batch processing.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$users = User::all();
+foreach ($users as $user) {
+    $user->notify(new WeeklyDigest);
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+User::where('subscribed', true)->chunk(200, function ($users) {
+    foreach ($users as $user) {
+        $user->notify(new WeeklyDigest);
+    }
+});
+```
+
+Use `chunkById()` when modifying records during iteration — standard `chunk()` uses OFFSET which shifts when rows change:
+
+```php
+User::where('active', false)->chunkById(200, function ($users) {
+    $users->each->delete();
+});
+```
+
+## Add Database Indexes
+
+Index columns that appear in `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, `JOIN`, and `GROUP BY` clauses.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+Schema::create('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
+    $table->id();
+    $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained();
+    $table->string('status');
+    $table->timestamps();
+});
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+Schema::create('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
+    $table->id();
+    $table->foreignId('user_id')->index()->constrained();
+    $table->string('status')->index();
+    $table->timestamps();
+    $table->index(['status', 'created_at']);
+});
+```
+
+Add composite indexes for common query patterns (e.g., `WHERE status = ? ORDER BY created_at`).
+
+## Use `withCount()` for Counting Relations
+
+Never load entire collections just to count them.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$posts = Post::all();
+foreach ($posts as $post) {
+    echo $post->comments->count();
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$posts = Post::withCount('comments')->get();
+foreach ($posts as $post) {
+    echo $post->comments_count;
+}
+```
+
+Conditional counting:
+
+```php
+$posts = Post::withCount([
+    'comments',
+    'comments as approved_comments_count' => function ($query) {
+        $query->where('approved', true);
+    },
+])->get();
+```
+
+## Use `cursor()` for Memory-Efficient Iteration
+
+For read-only iteration over large result sets, `cursor()` loads one record at a time via a PHP generator.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$users = User::where('active', true)->get();
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+foreach (User::where('active', true)->cursor() as $user) {
+    ProcessUser::dispatch($user->id);
+}
+```
+
+Use `cursor()` for read-only iteration. Use `chunk()` / `chunkById()` when modifying records.
+
+## No Queries in Blade Templates
+
+Never execute queries in Blade templates. Pass data from controllers.
+
+Incorrect:
+```blade
+@foreach (User::all() as $user)
+    {{ $user->profile->name }}

+
+## Apply Global Scopes Sparingly
+
+Global scopes silently modify every query on the model, making debugging difficult. Prefer local scopes and reserve global scopes for truly universal constraints like soft deletes or multi-tenancy.
+
+Incorrect (global scope for a conditional filter):
+```php
+class PublishedScope implements Scope
+{
+    public function apply(Builder $builder, Model $model): void
+    {
+        $builder->where('published', true);
+    }
+}
+// Now admin panels, reports, and background jobs all silently skip drafts
+```
+
+Correct (local scope you opt into):
+```php
+#[Scope]
+protected function published(Builder $query): Builder
+{
+    return $query->where('published', true);
+}
+
+Post::published()->paginate(); // Explicit
+Post::paginate(); // Admin sees all
+```
+
+## Define Attribute Casts
+
+Use the `casts()` method (or `$casts` property following project convention) for automatic type conversion.
+
+```php
+protected function casts(): array
+{
+    return [
+        'is_active' => 'boolean',
+        'metadata' => 'array',
+        'total' => 'decimal:2',
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+## Cast Date Columns Properly
+
+Always cast date columns. Use Carbon instances in templates instead of formatting strings manually.
+
+Incorrect:
+```blade
+{{ Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-d-m H-i', $order->ordered_at)->toDateString() }}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+protected function casts(): array
+{
+    return [
+        'ordered_at' => 'datetime',
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+```blade
+{{ $order->ordered_at->toDateString() }}
+{{ $order->ordered_at->format('m-d') }}
+```
+
+## Use `whereBelongsTo()` for Relationship Queries
+
+Cleaner than manually specifying foreign keys.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+Post::where('user_id', $user->id)->get();
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+Post::whereBelongsTo($user)->get();
+Post::whereBelongsTo($user, 'author')->get();
+```
+
+## Avoid Hardcoded Table Names in Queries
+
+Never use string literals for table names in raw queries, joins, or subqueries. Hardcoded table names make it impossible to find all places a model is used and break refactoring (e.g., renaming a table requires hunting through every raw string).
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+DB::table('users')->where('active', true)->get();
+
+$query->join('companies', 'companies.id', '=', 'users.company_id');
+
+DB::select('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status = ?', ['pending']);
+```
+
+Correct — reference the model's table:
+```php
+DB::table((new User)->getTable())->where('active', true)->get();
+
+// Even better — use Eloquent or the query builder instead of raw SQL
+User::where('active', true)->get();
+Order::where('status', 'pending')->get();
+```
+
+Prefer Eloquent queries and relationships over `DB::table()` whenever possible — they already reference the model's table. When `DB::table()` or raw joins are unavoidable, always use `(new Model)->getTable()` to keep the reference traceable.
+
+**Exception — migrations:** In migrations, hardcoded table names via `DB::table('settings')` are acceptable and preferred. Models change over time but migrations are frozen snapshots — referencing a model that is later renamed or deleted would break the migration.

+# Error Handling Best Practices
+
+## Exception Reporting and Rendering
+
+There are two valid approaches — choose one and apply it consistently across the project.
+
+**Co-location on the exception class** — keeps behavior alongside the exception definition, easier to find:
+
+```php
+class InvalidOrderException extends Exception
+{
+    public function report(): void { /* custom reporting */ }
+
+    public function render(Request $request): Response
+    {
+        return response()->view('errors.invalid-order', status: 422);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Centralized in `bootstrap/app.php`** — all exception handling in one place, easier to see the full picture:
+
+```php
+->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
+    $exceptions->report(function (InvalidOrderException $e) { /* ... */ });
+    $exceptions->render(function (InvalidOrderException $e, Request $request) {
+        return response()->view('errors.invalid-order', status: 422);
+    });
+})
+```
+
+Check the existing codebase and follow whichever pattern is already established.
+
+## Use `ShouldntReport` for Exceptions That Should Never Log
+
+More discoverable than listing classes in `dontReport()`.
+
+```php
+class PodcastProcessingException extends Exception implements ShouldntReport {}
+```
+
+## Throttle High-Volume Exceptions
+
+A single failing integration can flood error tracking. Use `throttle()` to rate-limit per exception type.
+
+## Enable `dontReportDuplicates()`
+
+Prevents the same exception instance from being logged multiple times when `report($e)` is called in multiple catch blocks.
+
+## Force JSON Error Rendering for API Routes
+
+Laravel auto-detects `Accept: application/json` but API clients may not set it. Explicitly declare JSON rendering for API routes.
+
+```php
+$exceptions->shouldRenderJsonWhen(function (Request $request, Throwable $e) {
+    return $request->is('api/*') || $request->expectsJson();
+});
+```
+
+## Add Context to Exception Classes
+
+Attach structured data to exceptions at the source via a `context()` method — Laravel includes it automatically in the log entry.
+
+```php
+class InvalidOrderException extends Exception
+{
+    public function context(): array
+    {
+        return ['order_id' => $this->orderId];
+    }
+}
+```

+# Events & Notifications Best Practices
+
+## Rely on Event Discovery
+
+Laravel auto-discovers listeners by reading `handle(EventType $event)` type-hints. No manual registration needed in `AppServiceProvider`.
+
+## Run `event:cache` in Production Deploy
+
+Event discovery scans the filesystem per-request in dev. Cache it in production: `php artisan optimize` or `php artisan event:cache`.
+
+## Use `ShouldDispatchAfterCommit` Inside Transactions
+
+Without it, a queued listener may process before the DB transaction commits, reading data that doesn't exist yet.
+
+```php
+class OrderShipped implements ShouldDispatchAfterCommit {}
+```
+
+## Always Queue Notifications
+
+Notifications often hit external APIs (email, SMS, Slack). Without `ShouldQueue`, they block the HTTP response.
+
+```php
+class InvoicePaid extends Notification implements ShouldQueue
+{
+    use Queueable;
+}
+```
+
+## Use `afterCommit()` on Notifications in Transactions
+
+Same race condition as events — call `afterCommit()` to delay dispatch until the transaction commits.
+
+```php
+$user->notify((new InvoicePaid($invoice))->afterCommit());
+```
+
+## Route Notification Channels to Dedicated Queues
+
+Mail and database notifications have different priorities. Use `viaQueues()` to route them to separate queues.
+
+## Use On-Demand Notifications for Non-User Recipients
+
+Avoid creating dummy models to send notifications to arbitrary addresses.
+
+```php
+Notification::route('mail', 'admin@example.com')->notify(new SystemAlert());
+```
+
+## Implement `HasLocalePreference` on Notifiable Models
+
+Laravel automatically uses the user's preferred locale for all notifications and mailables — no per-call `locale()` needed.

+# HTTP Client Best Practices
+
+## Always Set Explicit Timeouts
+
+The default timeout is 30 seconds — too long for most API calls. Always set explicit `timeout` and `connectTimeout` to fail fast.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$response = Http::get('https://api.example.com/users');
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$response = Http::timeout(5)
+    ->connectTimeout(3)
+    ->get('https://api.example.com/users');
+```
+
+For service-specific clients, define timeouts in a macro:
+
+```php
+Http::macro('github', function () {
+    return Http::baseUrl('https://api.github.com')
+        ->timeout(10)
+        ->connectTimeout(3)
+        ->withToken(config('services.github.token'));
+});
+
+$response = Http::github()->get('/repos/laravel/framework');
+```
+
+## Use Retry with Backoff for External APIs
+
+External APIs have transient failures. Use `retry()` with increasing delays.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$response = Http::post('https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges', $data);
+
+if ($response->failed()) {
+    throw new PaymentFailedException('Charge failed');
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$response = Http::retry([100, 500, 1000])
+    ->timeout(10)
+    ->post('https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges', $data);
+```
+
+Only retry on specific errors:
+
+```php
+$response = Http::retry(3, 100, function (Throwable $exception, PendingRequest $request) {
+    return $exception instanceof ConnectionException
+        || ($exception instanceof RequestException && $exception->response->serverError());
+})->post('https://api.example.com/data');
+```
+
+## Handle Errors Explicitly
+
+The HTTP Client does not throw on 4xx/5xx by default. Always check status or use `throw()`.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$response = Http::get('https://api.example.com/users/1');
+$user = $response->json(); // Could be an error body
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+$response = Http::timeout(5)
+    ->get('https://api.example.com/users/1')
+    ->throw();
+
+$user = $response->json();
+```
+
+For graceful degradation:
+
+```php
+$response = Http::get('https://api.example.com/users/1');
+
+if ($response->successful()) {
+    return $response->json();
+}
+
+if ($response->notFound()) {
+    return null;
+}
+
+$response->throw();
+```
+
+## Use Request Pooling for Concurrent Requests
+
+When making multiple independent API calls, use `Http::pool()` instead of sequential calls.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$users = Http::get('https://api.example.com/users')->json();
+$posts = Http::get('https://api.example.com/posts')->json();
+$comments = Http::get('https://api.example.com/comments')->json();
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+use Illuminate\Http\Client\Pool;
+
+$responses = Http::pool(fn (Pool $pool) => [
+    $pool->as('users')->get('https://api.example.com/users'),
+    $pool->as('posts')->get('https://api.example.com/posts'),
+    $pool->as('comments')->get('https://api.example.com/comments'),
+]);
+
+$users = $responses['users']->json();
+$posts = $responses['posts']->json();
+```
+
+## Fake HTTP Calls in Tests
+
+Never make real HTTP requests in tests. Use `Http::fake()` and `preventStrayRequests()`.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+it('syncs user from API', function () {
+    $service = new UserSyncService;
+    $service->sync(1); // Hits the real API
+});
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+it('syncs user from API', function () {
+    Http::preventStrayRequests();
+
+    Http::fake([
+        'api.example.com/users/1' => Http::response([
+            'name' => 'John Doe',
+            'email' => 'john@example.com',
+        ]),
+    ]);
+
+    $service = new UserSyncService;
+    $service->sync(1);
+
+    Http::assertSent(function (Request $request) {
+        return $request->url() === 'https://api.example.com/users/1';
+    });
+});
+```
+
+Test failure scenarios too:
+
+```php
+Http::fake([
+    'api.example.com/*' => Http::failedConnection(),
+]);
+```

+# Mail Best Practices
+
+## Implement `ShouldQueue` on the Mailable Class
+
+Makes queueing the default regardless of how the mailable is dispatched. No need to remember `Mail::queue()` at every call site — `Mail::send()` also queues it.
+
+## Use `afterCommit()` on Mailables Inside Transactions
+
+A queued mailable dispatched inside a transaction may process before the commit. Use `$this->afterCommit()` in the constructor.
+
+## Use `assertQueued()` Not `assertSent()` for Queued Mailables
+
+`Mail::assertSent()` only catches synchronous mail. Queued mailables fail `assertSent` with a "Did you mean to use assertQueued()?" hint.
+
+Incorrect: `Mail::assertSent(OrderShipped::class);` when mailable implements `ShouldQueue`.
+
+Correct: `Mail::assertQueued(OrderShipped::class);`
+
+## Use Markdown Mailables for Transactional Emails
+
+Markdown mailables auto-generate both HTML and plain-text versions, use responsive components, and allow global style customization. Generate with `--markdown` flag.
+
+## Separate Content Tests from Sending Tests
+
+Content tests: instantiate the mailable directly, call `assertSeeInHtml()`.
+Sending tests: use `Mail::fake()` and `assertSent()`/`assertQueued()`.
+Don't mix them — it conflates concerns and makes tests brittle.

+# Migration Best Practices
+
+## Generate Migrations with Artisan
+
+Always use `php artisan make:migration` for consistent naming and timestamps.
+
+Incorrect (manually created file):
+```php
+// database/migrations/posts_migration.php  ← wrong naming, no timestamp
+```
+
+Correct (Artisan-generated):
+```bash
+php artisan make:migration create_posts_table
+php artisan make:migration add_slug_to_posts_table
+```
+
+## Use `constrained()` for Foreign Keys
+
+Automatic naming and referential integrity.
+
+```php
+$table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
+
+// Non-standard names
+$table->foreignId('author_id')->constrained('users');
+```
+
+## Never Modify Deployed Migrations
+
+Once a migration has run in production, treat it as immutable. Create a new migration to change the table.
+
+Incorrect (editing a deployed migration):
+```php
+// 2024_01_01_create_posts_table.php — already in production
+$table->string('slug')->unique(); // ← added after deployment
+```
+
+Correct (new migration to alter):
+```php
+// 2024_03_15_add_slug_to_posts_table.php
+Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
+    $table->string('slug')->unique()->after('title');
+});
+```
+
+## Add Indexes in the Migration
+
+Add indexes when creating the table, not as an afterthought. Columns used in `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, and `JOIN` clauses need indexes.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+Schema::create('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
+    $table->id();
+    $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained();
+    $table->string('status');
+    $table->timestamps();
+});
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+Schema::create('orders', function (Blueprint $table) {
+    $table->id();
+    $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->index();
+    $table->string('status')->index();
+    $table->timestamp('shipped_at')->nullable()->index();
+    $table->timestamps();
+});
+```
+
+## Mirror Defaults in Model `$attributes`
+
+When a column has a database default, mirror it in the model so new instances have correct values before saving.
+
+```php
+// Migration
+$table->string('status')->default('pending');
+
+// Model
+protected $attributes = [
+    'status' => 'pending',
+];
+```
+
+## Write Reversible `down()` Methods by Default
+
+Implement `down()` for schema changes that can be safely reversed so `migrate:rollback` works in CI and failed deployments.
+
+```php
+public function down(): void
+{
+    Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
+        $table->dropColumn('slug');
+    });
+}
+```
+
+For intentionally irreversible migrations (e.g., destructive data backfills), leave a clear comment and require a forward fix migration instead of pretending rollback is supported.
+
+## Keep Migrations Focused
+
+One concern per migration. Never mix DDL (schema changes) and DML (data manipulation).
+
+Incorrect (partial failure creates unrecoverable state):
+```php
+public function up(): void
+{
+    Schema::create('settings', function (Blueprint $table) { ... });
+    DB::table('settings')->insert(['key' => 'version', 'value' => '1.0']);
+}
+```
+
+Correct (separate migrations):
+```php
+// Migration 1: create_settings_table
+Schema::create('settings', function (Blueprint $table) { ... });
+
+// Migration 2: seed_default_settings
+DB::table('settings')->insert(['key' => 'version', 'value' => '1.0']);
+```

+# Queue & Job Best Practices
+
+## Set `retry_after` Greater Than `timeout`
+
+If `retry_after` is shorter than the job's `timeout`, the queue worker re-dispatches the job while it's still running, causing duplicate execution.
+
+Incorrect (`retry_after` ≤ `timeout`):
+```php
+class ProcessReport implements ShouldQueue
+{
+    public $timeout = 120;
+}
+
+// config/queue.php — retry_after: 90 ← job retried while still running!
+```
+
+Correct (`retry_after` > `timeout`):
+```php
+class ProcessReport implements ShouldQueue
+{
+    public $timeout = 120;
+}
+
+// config/queue.php — retry_after: 180 ← safely longer than any job timeout
+```
+
+## Use Exponential Backoff
+
+Use progressively longer delays between retries to avoid hammering failing services.
+
+Incorrect (fixed retry interval):
+```php
+class SyncWithStripe implements ShouldQueue
+{
+    public $tries = 3;
+    // Default: retries immediately, overwhelming the API
+}
+```
+
+Correct (exponential backoff):
+```php
+class SyncWithStripe implements ShouldQueue
+{
+    public $tries = 3;
+    public $backoff = [1, 5, 10];
+}
+```
+
+## Implement `ShouldBeUnique`
+
+Prevent duplicate job processing.
+
+```php
+class GenerateInvoice implements ShouldQueue, ShouldBeUnique
+{
+    public function uniqueId(): string
+    {
+        return $this->order->id;
+    }
+
+    public $uniqueFor = 3600;
+}
+```
+
+## Always Implement `failed()`
+
+Handle errors explicitly — don't rely on silent failure.
+
+```php
+public function failed(?Throwable $exception): void
+{
+    $this->podcast->update(['status' => 'failed']);
+    Log::error('Processing failed', ['id' => $this->podcast->id, 'error' => $exception->getMessage()]);
+}
+```
+
+## Rate Limit External API Calls in Jobs
+
+Use `RateLimited` middleware to throttle jobs calling third-party APIs.
+
+```php
+public function middleware(): array
+{
+    return [new RateLimited('external-api')];
+}
+```
+
+## Batch Related Jobs
+
+Use `Bus::batch()` when jobs should succeed or fail together.
+
+```php
+Bus::batch([
+    new ImportCsvChunk($chunk1),
+    new ImportCsvChunk($chunk2),
+])
+->then(fn (Batch $batch) => Notification::send($user, new ImportComplete))
+->catch(fn (Batch $batch, Throwable $e) => Log::error('Batch failed'))
+->dispatch();
+```
+
+## `retryUntil()` Needs `$tries = 0`
+
+When using time-based retry limits, set `$tries = 0` to avoid premature failure.
+
+```php
+public $tries = 0;
+
+public function retryUntil(): \DateTimeInterface
+{
+    return now()->addHours(4);
+}
+```
+
+## Use `ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing` for Early Lock Release
+
+`ShouldBeUnique` holds the lock until the job completes. `ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing` releases it when processing starts, allowing new instances to queue.
+
+```php
+class UpdateSearchIndex implements ShouldQueue, ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing
+{
+    // Lock releases when processing begins, not when it finishes
+}
+```
+
+## Use Horizon for Complex Queue Scenarios
+
+Use Laravel Horizon when you need monitoring, auto-scaling, failure tracking, or multiple queues with different priorities.
+
+```php
+// config/horizon.php
+'environments' => [
+    'production' => [
+        'supervisor-1' => [

+# Task Scheduling Best Practices
+
+## Use `withoutOverlapping()` on Variable-Duration Tasks
+
+Without it, a long-running task spawns a second instance on the next tick, causing double-processing or resource exhaustion.
+
+## Use `onOneServer()` on Multi-Server Deployments
+
+Without it, every server runs the same task simultaneously. Requires a shared cache driver (Redis, database, Memcached).
+
+## Use `runInBackground()` for Concurrent Long Tasks
+
+By default, tasks at the same tick run sequentially. A slow first task delays all subsequent ones. `runInBackground()` runs them as separate processes.
+
+## Use `environments()` to Restrict Tasks
+
+Prevent accidental execution of production-only tasks (billing, reporting) on staging.
+
+```php
+Schedule::command('billing:charge')->monthly()->environments(['production']);
+```
+
+## Use `takeUntilTimeout()` for Time-Bounded Processing
+
+A task running every 15 minutes that processes an unbounded cursor can overlap with the next run. Bound execution time.
+
+## Use Schedule Groups for Shared Configuration
+
+Avoid repeating `->onOneServer()->timezone('America/New_York')` across many tasks.
+
+```php
+Schedule::daily()
+    ->onOneServer()
+    ->timezone('America/New_York')
+    ->group(function () {
+        Schedule::command('emails:send --force');

+# Security Best Practices
+
+## Mass Assignment Protection
+
+Every model must define `$fillable` (whitelist) or `$guarded` (blacklist).
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+class User extends Model
+{
+    protected $guarded = []; // All fields are mass assignable
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+class User extends Model
+{
+    protected $fillable = [
+        'name',
+        'email',
+        'password',
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+Never use `$guarded = []` on models that accept user input.
+
+## Authorize Every Action
+
+Use policies or gates in controllers. Never skip authorization.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+public function update(UpdatePostRequest $request, Post $post)
+{
+    $post->update($request->validated());
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+public function update(UpdatePostRequest $request, Post $post)
+{
+    Gate::authorize('update', $post);
+
+    $post->update($request->validated());
+}
+```
+
+Or via Form Request:
+
+```php
+public function authorize(): bool
+{
+    return $this->user()->can('update', $this->route('post'));
+}
+```
+
+## Prevent SQL Injection
+
+Always use parameter binding. Never interpolate user input into queries.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+DB::select("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '{$request->name}'");
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+User::where('name', $request->name)->get();
+
+// Raw expressions with bindings
+User::whereRaw('LOWER(name) = ?', [strtolower($request->name)])->get();
+```
+
+## Escape Output to Prevent XSS
+
+Use `{{ }}` for HTML escaping. Only use `{!! !!}` for trusted, pre-sanitized content.
+
+Incorrect:
+```blade
+{!! $user->bio !!}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```blade
+{{ $user->bio }}
+```
+
+## CSRF Protection
+
+Include `@csrf` in all POST/PUT/DELETE Blade forms. Inertia doesn't use `@csrf`; its HTTP client sends the `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie back as the `X-XSRF-TOKEN` header, which Laravel accepts in place of the `_token` field.
+
+Incorrect:
+```blade
+<form method="POST" action="/posts">
+    <input type="text" name="title">
+</form>
+```
+
+Correct:
+```blade
+<form method="POST" action="/posts">
+    @csrf
+    <input type="text" name="title">
+</form>
+```
+
+## Rate Limit Auth and API Routes
+
+Apply `throttle` middleware to authentication and API routes.
+
+```php
+RateLimiter::for('login', function (Request $request) {
+    return Limit::perMinute(5)->by($request->ip());
+});
+
+Route::post('/login', LoginController::class)->middleware('throttle:login');
+```
+
+## Validate File Uploads
+
+Validate extension, MIME type, and size. The `mimes` rule checks extensions; use `mimetypes` for actual MIME type validation. Never trust client-provided filenames.
+
+```php
+public function rules(): array
+{
+    return [
+        'avatar' => ['required', 'image', 'mimes:jpg,jpeg,png,webp', 'max:2048'],
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+Store with generated filenames:
+
+```php
+$path = $request->file('avatar')->store('avatars', 'public');
+```
+
+## Keep Secrets Out of Code
+
+Never commit `.env`. Access secrets via `config()` only.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+$key = env('API_KEY');
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+// config/services.php
+'api_key' => env('API_KEY'),
+
+// In application code
+$key = config('services.api_key');
+```
+
+## Audit Dependencies
+
+Run `composer audit` periodically to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies. Automate this in CI to catch issues before deployment.
+
+```bash
+composer audit
+```
+
+## Encrypt Sensitive Database Fields
+
+Use `encrypted` cast for API keys/tokens and mark the attribute as `hidden`.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+class Integration extends Model
+{
+    protected function casts(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            'api_key' => 'string',
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+class Integration extends Model
+{
+    protected $hidden = ['api_key', 'api_secret'];
+
+    protected function casts(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            'api_key' => 'encrypted',
+            'api_secret' => 'encrypted',
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```

+
+## Prefer Shorter Readable Syntax
+
+| Verbose | Shorter |
+|---------|---------|
+| `Session::get('cart')` | `session('cart')` |
+| `$request->session()->get('cart')` | `session('cart')` |
+| `$request->input('name')` | `$request->name` |

+| `->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')` | `->latest()` |
+| `->orderBy('created_at', 'asc')` | `->oldest()` |
+| `->first()->name` | `->value('name')` |
+
+## Use Laravel String & Array Helpers
+
+Laravel provides `Str`, `Arr`, `Number`, and `Uri` helper classes that are more readable, chainable, and UTF-8 safe than raw PHP functions. Always prefer them.
+
+Strings — use `Str` and fluent `Str::of()` over raw PHP:
+```php
+// Incorrect
+$slug = strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', $title));
+$short = substr($text, 0, 100) . '...';
+$class = substr(strrchr('App\Models\User', '\\'), 1);
+
+// Correct
+$slug = Str::slug($title);
+$short = Str::limit($text, 100);
+$class = class_basename('App\Models\User');
+```
+
+Fluent strings — chain operations for complex transformations:
+```php
+// Incorrect
+$result = strtolower(trim(str_replace('_', '-', $input)));
+
+// Correct
+$result = Str::of($input)->trim()->replace('_', '-')->lower();
+```
+
+Key `Str` methods to prefer: `Str::slug()`, `Str::limit()`, `Str::contains()`, `Str::before()`, `Str::after()`, `Str::between()`, `Str::camel()`, `Str::snake()`, `Str::kebab()`, `Str::headline()`, `Str::squish()`, `Str::mask()`, `Str::uuid()`, `Str::ulid()`, `Str::random()`, `Str::is()`.
+
+Arrays — use `Arr` over raw PHP:
+```php
+// Incorrect
+$name = isset($array['user']['name']) ? $array['user']['name'] : 'default';
+
+// Correct
+$name = Arr::get($array, 'user.name', 'default');
+```
+
+Key `Arr` methods: `Arr::get()`, `Arr::has()`, `Arr::only()`, `Arr::except()`, `Arr::first()`, `Arr::flatten()`, `Arr::pluck()`, `Arr::where()`, `Arr::wrap()`.
+
+Numbers — use `Number` for display formatting:
+```php
+Number::format(1000000);          // "1,000,000"
+Number::currency(1500, 'USD');    // "$1,500.00"
+Number::abbreviate(1000000);      // "1M"
+Number::fileSize(1024 * 1024);    // "1 MB"
+Number::percentage(75.5);         // "75.5%"
+```
+
+URIs — use `Uri` for URL manipulation:
+```php
+$uri = Uri::of('https://example.com/search')
+    ->withQuery(['q' => 'laravel', 'page' => 1]);
+```
+
+Use `$request->string('name')` to get a fluent `Stringable` directly from request input for immediate chaining.
+
+Use `search-docs` for the full list of available methods — these helpers are extensive.
+
+## No Inline JS/CSS in Blade
+
+Do not put JS or CSS in Blade templates. Do not put HTML in PHP classes.
+
+Incorrect:
+```blade
+let article = `{{ json_encode($article) }}`;
+```
+
+Correct:
+```blade
+<button class="js-fav-article" data-article='@json($article)'>{{ $article->name }}</button>
+```
+
+Pass data to JS via data attributes or use a dedicated PHP-to-JS package.
+
+## No Unnecessary Comments
+
+Code should be readable on its own. Use descriptive method and variable names instead of comments. The only exception is config files, where descriptive comments are expected.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+// Check if there are any joins
+if (count((array) $builder->getQuery()->joins) > 0)
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+if ($this->hasJoins())
+```

+# Testing Best Practices
+
+## Use `LazilyRefreshDatabase` Over `RefreshDatabase`
+
+`RefreshDatabase` migrates once per process and wraps each test in a rolled-back transaction. `LazilyRefreshDatabase` skips even that first migration if the schema is already up to date.
+
+## Use Model Assertions Over Raw Database Assertions
+
+Incorrect: `$this->assertDatabaseHas('users', ['id' => $user->id]);`
+
+Correct: `$this->assertModelExists($user);`
+
+More expressive, type-safe, and fails with clearer messages.
+
+## Use Factory States and Sequences
+
+Named states make tests self-documenting. Sequences eliminate repetitive setup.
+
+Incorrect: `User::factory()->create(['email_verified_at' => null]);`
+
+Correct: `User::factory()->unverified()->create();`
+
+## Use `Exceptions::fake()` to Assert Exception Reporting
+
+Instead of `withoutExceptionHandling()`, use `Exceptions::fake()` to assert the correct exception was reported while the request completes normally.
+
+## Call `Event::fake()` After Factory Setup
+
+Model factories rely on model events (e.g., `creating` to generate UUIDs). Calling `Event::fake()` before factory calls silences those events, producing broken models.
+
+Incorrect: `Event::fake(); $user = User::factory()->create();`
+
+Correct: `$user = User::factory()->create(); Event::fake();`
+
+## Use `recycle()` to Share Relationship Instances Across Factories
+
+Without `recycle()`, nested factories create separate instances of the same conceptual entity.
+
+```php
+Ticket::factory()
+    ->recycle(Airline::factory()->create())
+    ->create();
+```

+# Validation & Forms Best Practices
+
+## Use Form Request Classes
+
+Extract validation from controllers into dedicated Form Request classes.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+public function store(Request $request)
+{
+    $request->validate([
+        'title' => 'required|max:255',
+        'body' => 'required',
+    ]);
+}
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+public function store(StorePostRequest $request)
+{
+    Post::create($request->validated());
+}
+```
+
+## Array vs. String Notation for Rules
+
+Array syntax is more readable and composes cleanly with `Rule::` objects. Prefer it in new code, but check existing Form Requests first and match whatever notation the project already uses.
+
+```php
+// Preferred for new code
+'email' => ['required', 'email', Rule::unique('users')],
+
+// Follow existing convention if the project uses string notation
+'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
+```
+
+## Always Use `validated()`
+
+Get only validated data. Never use `$request->all()` for mass operations.
+
+Incorrect:
+```php
+Post::create($request->all());
+```
+
+Correct:
+```php
+Post::create($request->validated());
+```
+
+## Use `Rule::when()` for Conditional Validation
+
+```php
+'company_name' => [
+    Rule::when($this->account_type === 'business', ['required', 'string', 'max:255']),
+],
+```
+
+## Use the `after()` Method for Custom Validation
+
+Use `after()` instead of `withValidator()` for custom validation logic that depends on multiple fields.
+
+```php
+public function after(): array
+{
+    return [
+        function (Validator $validator) {
+            if ($this->quantity > Product::find($this->product_id)?->stock) {
+                $validator->errors()->add('quantity', 'Not enough stock.');
+            }
+        },
+    ];

+
+# Socialite Authentication
+
+## Documentation
+
+Use `search-docs` for detailed Socialite patterns and documentation (installation, configuration, routing, callbacks, testing, scopes, stateless auth).
+
+## Available Providers
+
+Built-in: `facebook`, `twitter`, `twitter-oauth-2`, `linkedin`, `linkedin-openid`, `google`, `github`, `gitlab`, `bitbucket`, `slack`, `slack-openid`, `twitch`
+
+Community: 150+ additional providers at [socialiteproviders.com](https://socialiteproviders.com). For provider-specific setup, use `WebFetch` on `https://socialiteproviders.com/{provider-name}`.
+
+Configuration key in `config/services.php` must match the driver name exactly — note the hyphenated keys: `twitter-oauth-2`, `linkedin-openid`, `slack-openid`.
+
+Twitter/X: Use `twitter-oauth-2` (OAuth 2.0) for new projects. The legacy `twitter` driver is OAuth 1.0. Driver names remain unchanged despite the platform rebrand.
+
+Community providers differ from built-in providers in the following ways:
+- Installed via `composer require socialiteproviders/{name}`
+- Must register via event listener — NOT auto-discovered like built-in providers
+- Use `search-docs` for the registration pattern
+
+## Adding a Provider
+
+### 1. Configure the provider
+
+Add the provider's `client_id`, `client_secret`, and `redirect` to `config/services.php`. The config key must match the driver name exactly.
+
+### 2. Create redirect and callback routes
+
+Two routes are needed: one that calls `Socialite::driver('provider')->redirect()` to send the user to the OAuth provider, and one that calls `Socialite::driver('provider')->user()` to receive the callback and retrieve user details.
+
+### 3. Authenticate and store the user
+
+In the callback, use `updateOrCreate` to find or create a user record from the provider's response (`id`, `name`, `email`, `token`, `refreshToken`), then call `Auth::login()`.
+
+### 4. Customize the redirect (optional)
+
+- `scopes()` — merge additional scopes with the provider's defaults
+- `setScopes()` — replace all scopes entirely
+- `with()` — pass optional parameters (e.g., `['hd' => 'example.com']` for Google)
+- `asBotUser()` — Slack only; generates a bot token (`xoxb-`) instead of a user token (`xoxp-`). Must be called before both `redirect()` and `user()`. Only the `token` property will be hydrated on the user object.
+- `stateless()` — for API/SPA contexts where session state is not maintained
+
+### 5. Verify
+
+1. Config key matches driver name exactly (check the list above for hyphenated names)
+2. `client_id`, `client_secret`, and `redirect` are all present
+3. Redirect URL matches what is registered in the provider's OAuth dashboard
+4. Callback route handles denied grants (when user declines authorization)
+
+Use `search-docs` for complete code examples of each step.
+
+## Additional Features
+
+Use `search-docs` for usage details on: `enablePKCE()`, `userFromToken($token)`, `userFromTokenAndSecret($token, $secret)` (OAuth 1.0), retrieving user details.
+
+User object: `getId()`, `getName()`, `getEmail()`, `getAvatar()`, `getNickname()`, `token`, `refreshToken`, `expiresIn`, `approvedScopes`
+
+## Testing
+
+Socialite provides `Socialite::fake()` for testing redirects and callbacks. Use `search-docs` for faking redirects, callback user data, custom token properties, and assertion methods.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- Config key must match driver name exactly — hyphenated drivers need hyphenated keys (`linkedin-openid`, `slack-openid`, `twitter-oauth-2`). Mismatch silently fails.
+- Every provider needs `client_id`, `client_secret`, and `redirect` in `config/services.php`. Missing any one causes cryptic errors.
+- `scopes()` merges with defaults; `setScopes()` replaces all scopes entirely.
+- Missing `stateless()` in API/SPA contexts causes `InvalidStateException`.
+- Redirect URL in `config/services.php` must exactly match the provider's OAuth dashboard (including trailing slashes and protocol).
+- Do not pass `state`, `response_type`, `client_id`, `redirect_uri`, or `scope` via `with()` — these are reserved.
+- Community providers require event listener registration via `SocialiteWasCalled`.
+- `user()` throws when the user declines authorization. Always handle denied grants.

+
+# Tailwind CSS Development
+
+## Documentation
+
+Use `search-docs` for detailed Tailwind CSS v4 patterns and documentation.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+- Use Tailwind CSS classes to style HTML. Check and follow existing Tailwind conventions in the project before introducing new patterns.
+- Offer to extract repeated patterns into components that match the project's conventions (e.g., Blade, JSX, Vue).
+- Consider class placement, order, priority, and defaults. Remove redundant classes, add classes to parent or child elements carefully to reduce repetition, and group elements logically.
+
+## Tailwind CSS v4 Specifics
+
+- Always use Tailwind CSS v4 and avoid deprecated utilities.
+- `corePlugins` is not supported in Tailwind v4.
+
+### CSS-First Configuration
+
+In Tailwind v4, configuration is CSS-first using the `@theme` directive — no separate `tailwind.config.js` file is needed:
+
+<!-- CSS-First Config -->
+```css
+@theme {
+  --color-brand: oklch(0.72 0.11 178);
+}
+```
+
+### Import Syntax
+
+In Tailwind v4, import Tailwind with a regular CSS `@import` statement instead of the `@tailwind` directives used in v3:
+
+<!-- v4 Import Syntax -->
+```diff
+- @tailwind base;
+- @tailwind components;
+- @tailwind utilities;
++ @import "tailwindcss";
+```
+
+### Replaced Utilities
+
+Tailwind v4 removed deprecated utilities. Use the replacements shown below. Opacity values remain numeric.
+
+| Deprecated | Replacement |
+|------------|-------------|
+| bg-opacity-* | bg-black/* |
+| text-opacity-* | text-black/* |
+| border-opacity-* | border-black/* |
+| divide-opacity-* | divide-black/* |
+| ring-opacity-* | ring-black/* |
+| placeholder-opacity-* | placeholder-black/* |
+| flex-shrink-* | shrink-* |
+| flex-grow-* | grow-* |
+| overflow-ellipsis | text-ellipsis |
+| decoration-slice | box-decoration-slice |
+| decoration-clone | box-decoration-clone |
+
+## Spacing
+
+Use `gap` utilities instead of margins for spacing between siblings:
+
+<!-- Gap Utilities -->
+```html
+<div class="flex gap-8">
+    <div>Item 1</div>
+    <div>Item 2</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Dark Mode
+
+If existing pages and components support dark mode, new pages and components must support it the same way, typically using the `dark:` variant:
+
+<!-- Dark Mode -->
+```html
+<div class="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 text-gray-900 dark:text-white">
+    Content adapts to color scheme
+</div>
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Flexbox Layout
+
+<!-- Flexbox Layout -->
+```html
+<div class="flex items-center justify-between gap-4">
+    <div>Left content</div>
+    <div>Right content</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Grid Layout
+
+<!-- Grid Layout -->
+```html
+<div class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6">
+    <div>Card 1</div>
+    <div>Card 2</div>
+    <div>Card 3</div>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- Using deprecated v3 utilities (bg-opacity-*, flex-shrink-*, etc.)
+- Using `@tailwind` directives instead of `@import "tailwindcss"`
+- Trying to use `tailwind.config.js` instead of CSS `@theme` directive
+- Using margins for spacing between siblings instead of gap utilities
+- Forgetting to add dark mode variants when the project uses dark mode
