Michael Dyrynda explains a subtle Laravel gotcha: #[RouteParameter] only reads the current route parameter value, it does not perform implicit model binding. Good reminder that the controller signature still matters when you expect a bound model inside a form request.

You can't out-prompt an attacker — to the model, your system instructions and a malicious support ticket are the same text. So stop defending the prompt and lock down the boundaries you actually control: tools scoped to the authenticated user server-side, middleware that screens and logs, output handled as untrusted input, a human in front of anything irreversible, and a fake-free test that fails CI the moment someone drops the auth scope.

Your Agent::fake() tests prove your Laravel AI feature runs — not that its output is any good. This evals a real ticket classifier with the AI SDK: a golden dataset for the fields you can check, an LLM-as-judge for the free text you can't, and a regression gate that catches a bad prompt before your customers do.

At our latest hackathon, we built Live at Spatie, a Laravel and React wrapper around Owntone that lets the whole team queue music, see what's playing, and control the office speakers. The nicest touch is the Slack bot: thanks to an MCP server powered by laravel/mcp and OpenClaw, you can ask it to queue music right from Slack.

The spatie/laravel-sluggable package has been around for close to a decade. A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a record, like announcing-laravel-sluggable-v4-with-self-healing-urls in this post's URL. The package generates one for any Eloquent model when you save it, derived from a title or another text field, and most of the time you don't have to think about it.
We just released v4, which adds a few things worth talking about. Let me walk you through them.
