Description

When filament/filament is installed as a sub-dependency of another package rather than directly in the root composer.json, Laravel Boost fails to detect the guidelines file at vendor/filament/filament/resources/boost/guidelines/core.blade.php.

Steps To Reproduce

Here’s how to reproduce the issue:

1. Create a project where filament/filament is required by another package.
2. Run php artisan boost:install.
3. The third-party guidelines selection will not show filament/filament as an option.
4. The Filament guidelines are not included in CLAUDE.md.

The expected behaviour is that Boost should detect the vendor/filament/filament/resources/boost/guidelines/core.blade.php file regardless of whether filament/filament is a direct dependency or a sub-dependency.

we’ve kept this behavior limited to cases where the package is an explicit dependency of the application, not just a transitive dependency. Otherwise, installing Boost would automatically pull in the MCP package and apply MCP guidelines even when the user is not actually using MCP.
