v2.9.4

title: 'v2.9.4'

v2.9.4 completes deterministic teardown for the local HTTP servers used by
standalone package verification.

Laravel Package Verification

• The Laravel integration suite launches PHP's built-in server as a directly
  owned process instead of through a shell child.
• Test ports are allocated dynamically and the exact process is terminated at
  suite teardown.
• Server readiness checks avoid leaking connection warnings into Pest.

Standalone Instructor Verification

• The instructor-struct test contract no longer invokes the monorepo-only
  documentation tool from a released package checkout.
• Package documentation remains covered by the root documentation QA lane
  before release.

No runtime API changes or application migration steps are required.
