Why Custom Builders Over Scopes
❌ Do NOT use local scopes.
✅ Use custom query builders because they provide:
- Better type hinting - Full IDE autocomplete
- Type-safe nested queries - Type-hint closures in
whereHas(),orWhereHas(), etc. - Better organization - All query logic in one class
- More composable - Easier to chain and compose
- Easier testing - Test query logic in isolation
