Laravel Release Notes

Pull request by @pascalbaljet

The SSR server now accepts a host option to control which network interface it binds to. The default remains 0.0.0.0 so nothing changes unless you need it.

Pull request by @simonellensohn

When Vite runs inside a container or behind a reverse proxy with a custom server.host, it places the dev server address in resolvedUrls.network rather than resolvedUrls.local. The SSR dev server now falls back to the network URL when the local one isn't available, fixing SSL certificate errors in those container and proxy setups.

The withApp callback now receives the initial page props, giving it parity with setup. Use cases like setting a user locale in SSR mode - where the locale comes from page props - are now straightforward without falling back to setup.

Pulling in upstream starter kit improvements without clobbering your own customizations has always been a manual, risky process. The new starter-kit-upgrade Claude Code skill gives you a guided, audit-friendly path to review what's changed in the laravel/vue-starter-kit, laravel/react-starter-kit, or laravel/livewire-starter-kit and apply only the specific features you want.

Streaming failover with withModelFailover() wasn't actually working - errors during generator iteration happened outside the try-catch, so a rate-limited provider mid-stream would throw instead of trying the next one. Failover now kicks in properly during stream iteration, with the AgentFailedOver event dispatched as expected.

When using a conversational agent with stream(), the conversationId on the outer StreamableAgentResponse was always null - the metadata was being written to the inner response only. After this fix, conversationId and conversationUser are available on the outer response object once the stream completes.

Pull request by @barryvdh

Building a conversation history sidebar previously meant writing raw SQL against the agent_conversations table. A new HasConversations trait for your User model exposes a proper Eloquent relationship, with updated_at advancing as messages arrive so ordering by recency just works.

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasConversations;
}

$conversations = $request->user()
    ->conversations()
    ->latest('updated_at')
    ->paginate(20);

Pull request by @sumaiazaman

When a BroadcastAgent job threw an unhandled exception, the frontend had no signal that the stream had failed - leaving the user staring at a spinner indefinitely. A stream_failed event is now broadcast via the job's failed() hook so clients can surface the error and let users retry.

Pull request by @nhedger

Text-to-speech is now a fluent one-liner from any Stringable instance:

$response = Str::of('Hello world')->toAudio(timeout: 45);

// With more control
$response = Str::of('Hello world')->toAudio(
    provider: Lab::ElevenLabs,
    voice: 'alloy',
    instructions: 'Speak slowly',
    model: 'custom-model',
    timeout: 45,
);

The Tinker MCP tool is back as an opt-in feature. When enabled, agents prefer the MCP tool over the php artisan tinker --execute '...' shell path - skipping the quoting failures that caused agents to retry a simple snippet two or three times.

// config/boost.php
'tinker_tool_enabled' => true,

The Boost install command now includes a Laravel Cloud option. Opt in during installation and the deploying-laravel-cloud skill is configured automatically alongside your other integrations.

Pull request by @pushpak1300

Model discovery via class_exists() was broken - only already-loaded classes were visible, and enabling autoloading caused crashes. Rather than chasing endless edge cases, model discovery has been removed entirely. Modern AI agents find models by searching the codebase directly, which works better in practice anyway.

Pull request by @pushpak1300

The Flux UI skill files now accurately reflect the component lists from fluxui.dev. Previously, components like table, card, pagination, progress, and toast were listed as Pro-only, causing agents to write custom Blade tables when free Flux components were available all along.

Pull request by @joetannenbaum

When laravel new runs inside an AI agent, it now suppresses interactive prompts and outputs a single JSON line describing the result - with the project name, directory, and on failure, a log path and output tail for debugging.

{ "success": true, "name": "my-app", "directory": "/path/to/my-app" }

This makes the installer reliable in automated pipelines without any special wiring.

All starter kit variants have been updated to load fonts through the Vite font plugin. The direct CDN <link> tags are gone - preloads, @font-face rules, and server push are all handled by @fonts now.

Pull request by @joetannenbaum

Every new-password input across the starter kits - register, reset password, and update password pages - now includes a passwordrules attribute derived from Password::defaults()->toPasswordRulesString(). Password managers can generate a compliant password on the first try rather than failing against validation after the fact.

Pull request by @cosmastech

PAO now includes a Rector driver, surfacing Rector's analysis in a structured, agent-friendly format. Rector's default console output can be noisy - this makes the results far easier for agents to act on.
