Debug Composer Conflicts

Workflow

1. Run composer why-not or inspect Composer's solver output.
2. Check PHP version, Laravel version, package constraints, minimum stability, and plugin allowances.
3. Confirm whether security advisories are blocking a version.
4. Prefer updating constraints honestly over forcing ignored advisories.
5. Update docs and CI matrix when support changes.
6. Re-run composer update --dry-run or the intended install/update command.

Verification

• composer validate passes.
• The intended composer require or composer update succeeds.
