Laravel 13 + PHP 8.4 + Pest 5 baseline.
- Requires PHP ^8.4 and Laravel ^13.0 (illuminate/contracts, database, support)
- Requires ozankurt/laravel-modules-core ^2.0 and ozankurt/laravel-modules-interactions ^2.0
- spatie/laravel-package-tools ^1.93, cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable ^12.0 || ^13.0
- Test toolchain on Pest 5 and Orchestra Testbench 11
- Filament 3, 4 and 5 all still supported
- CI matrix: PHP 8.4 x Laravel 13 x Filament 3/4/5
No source changes were needed: the full suite (98 passed, 297 assertions) and PHPStan level 8 are green as-is. Blog cache semantics are unchanged, including the rule that a view-count-only bump does not invalidate the post-by-slug cache.
BREAKING: drops Laravel 12 and PHP 8.3.
