PHP & Laravel Development

Scoped to framework-level PHP. Work on php-src internals or a native PHP extension is C, not PHP: the ia-c-systems skill covers it, including the Zend API conventions (gen_stub arginfo, the request-scoped allocator, custom object handlers, .phpt).

Working rules

• Keep simple CRUD simple; extract cross-model orchestration only when it has a concrete use.
• Validate and authorize at request boundaries; serialize through explicit resources and validate third-party responses.
• Preserve deployed migration history, queued payload compatibility, and concurrent writes.
• Verify cache compilation, queue execution, and HTTP behavior through their real entrypoints when those paths change.
