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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Collection Best Practices
Use Higher-Order Messages for Simple Operations
Incorrect:
$users->each(function (User $user) {
$user->markAsVip();
});
Correct: $users->each->markAsVip();
Works with each, map, sum, filter, reject, contains, etc.
Choose cursor() vs. lazy() Correctly
cursor()— one model in memory, but cannot eager-load relationships (N+1 risk).lazy()— chunked pagination returning a flat LazyCollection, supports eager loading.
Incorrect: User::with('roles')->cursor() — eager loading silently ignored.
Correct: User::with('roles')->lazy() for relationship access; User::cursor() for attribute-only work.
Use lazyById() When Updating Records While Iterating
lazy() uses offset pagination — updating records during iteration can skip or double-process. lazyById() uses id > last_id, safe against mutation.
Use toQuery() for Bulk Operations on Collections
Avoids manual whereIn construction.
Incorrect: User::whereIn('id', $users->pluck('id'))->update([...]);
Correct: $users->toQuery()->update([...]);
Use #[CollectedBy] for Custom Collection Classes
More declarative than overriding newCollection().
#[CollectedBy(UserCollection::class)]
class User extends Model {}
