Regenerate Boost guidelines and skills

Byproduct of the Laravel 13 upgrade: composer's post-update-cmd runs
`artisan boost:update`, and Boost went 2.1.3 to 2.4.x with the update.

Refreshes CLAUDE.md and boost.json for the Laravel 13 / Livewire 4 stack,
updates the livewire, pest and tailwindcss skills, replaces the
developing-with-fortify skill with fortify-development, and adds new
laravel-best-practices and octane-development skills.

Generated output, not hand-edited.

# Testing Best Practices
## Use `LazilyRefreshDatabase` Over `RefreshDatabase`
`RefreshDatabase` migrates once per process and wraps each test in a rolled-back transaction. `LazilyRefreshDatabase` skips even that first migration if the schema is already up to date.
## Use Model Assertions Over Raw Database Assertions
Incorrect: `$this->assertDatabaseHas('users', ['id' => $user->id]);`
Correct: `$this->assertModelExists($user);`
More expressive, type-safe, and fails with clearer messages.
## Use Factory States and Sequences
Named states make tests self-documenting. Sequences eliminate repetitive setup.
Incorrect: `User::factory()->create(['email_verified_at' => null]);`
Correct: `User::factory()->unverified()->create();`
## Use `Exceptions::fake()` to Assert Exception Reporting
Instead of `withoutExceptionHandling()`, use `Exceptions::fake()` to assert the correct exception was reported while the request completes normally.
## Call `Event::fake()` After Factory Setup
Model factories rely on model events (e.g., `creating` to generate UUIDs). Calling `Event::fake()` before factory calls silences those events, producing broken models.
Incorrect: `Event::fake(); $user = User::factory()->create();`
Correct: `$user = User::factory()->create(); Event::fake();`
## Use `recycle()` to Share Relationship Instances Across Factories
Without `recycle()`, nested factories create separate instances of the same conceptual entity.
```php
Ticket::factory()
->recycle(Airline::factory()->create())
->create();
```
