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.

# Validation & Forms Best Practices
## Use Form Request Classes
Extract validation from controllers into dedicated Form Request classes.
Incorrect:
```php
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'body' => 'required',
]);
}
```
Correct:
```php
public function store(StorePostRequest $request)
{
Post::create($request->validated());
}
```
## Array vs. String Notation for Rules
Array syntax is more readable and composes cleanly with `Rule::` objects. Prefer it in new code, but check existing Form Requests first and match whatever notation the project already uses.
```php
// Preferred for new code
'email' => ['required', 'email', Rule::unique('users')],
// Follow existing convention if the project uses string notation
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
```
## Always Use `validated()`
Get only validated data. Never use `$request->all()` for mass operations.
Incorrect:
```php
Post::create($request->all());
```
Correct:
```php
Post::create($request->validated());
```
## Use `Rule::when()` for Conditional Validation
```php
'company_name' => [
Rule::when($this->account_type === 'business', ['required', 'string', 'max:255']),
],
```
## Use the `after()` Method for Custom Validation
Use `after()` instead of `withValidator()` for custom validation logic that depends on multiple fields.
```php
public function after(): array
{
return [
function (Validator $validator) {
if ($this->quantity > Product::find($this->product_id)?->stock) {
$validator->errors()->add('quantity', 'Not enough stock.');
}
},
];
}
```
