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>

Task Scheduling Best Practices
Use withoutOverlapping() on Variable-Duration Tasks
Without it, a long-running task spawns a second instance on the next tick, causing double-processing or resource exhaustion.
Use onOneServer() on Multi-Server Deployments
Without it, every server runs the same task simultaneously. Requires a shared cache driver (Redis, database, Memcached).
Use runInBackground() for Concurrent Long Tasks
By default, tasks at the same tick run sequentially. A slow first task delays all subsequent ones. runInBackground() runs them as separate processes.
Use environments() to Restrict Tasks
Prevent accidental execution of production-only tasks (billing, reporting) on staging.
Schedule::command('billing:charge')->monthly()->environments(['production']);
Use takeUntilTimeout() for Time-Bounded Processing
A task running every 15 minutes that processes an unbounded cursor can overlap with the next run. Bound execution time.
Use Schedule Groups for Shared Configuration
Avoid repeating ->onOneServer()->timezone('America/New_York') across many tasks.
Schedule::daily()
->onOneServer()
->timezone('America/New_York')
->group(function () {
Schedule::command('emails:send --force');
Schedule::command('emails:prune');
});
