+# 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.

+| Actions, services, dependencies, application structure | [`rules/architecture.md`](rules/architecture.md) |
+
+## Decision Rules
+
+- 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);
+    }
+}
+```
