[Bug]: Intelephense does not recognize Response::macro methods in Laravel (e.g., response()->success())

What happened?

When defining a custom macro using Response::macro() in Laravel (e.g., in AppServiceProvider), Intelephense does not recognize the dynamically added method, resulting in:

• No type hinting or autocomplete for the macro method (e.g., success, error).
• Red underline and error:
  Undefined method 'success'.intelephense(P1013)

Despite the macro working perfectly at runtime in Laravel, this causes noise and confusion in the IDE.

---

✅ Expected Behavior

Intelephense should either:

• Recognize and provide type hinting/autocomplete for custom response macros, or
• At the very least, not show an error underline for methods registered via Response::macro().

---

❌ Actual Behavior

In any controller or class where you use the macro:

return response()->success([], 'success', 200);

You get:

• 🔴 Undefined method 'success'.intelephense(P1013)
• No suggestions/autocomplete
• No type hinting on the success() method

---

🧪 Steps to Reproduce

1. In AppServiceProvider:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Response;

public function boot(): void
{
    Response::macro('success', function ($data = null, ?string $message = null, int $code = 200) {
        return Response::json([
            'data' => $data,
            'message' => $message,
            'success' => true,
        ], $code);
    });
}

2. Use the macro in a controller:

return response()->success([], 'Success', 200);

3. Intelephense shows:

   ❗ Undefined method 'success'.intelephense(P1013)

Undefined method 'success'.intelephense(P1013)

This is not a Vscode Laravel extension message. You should report this on https://github.com/bmewburn/vscode-intelephense

Thanks for the response. I understand that this issue is related to Intelephense specifically, but I do believe that since the macro is being defined within Laravel, it would make sense for the Laravel extension to help bridge this gap—either by loading or hinting macros defined via Response::macro() or by enhancing Laravel integration to work more smoothly with Intelephense.
