New version of illuminate/contracts (12.31.1) broke the build

[depfu]

We've tested your project with an updated dependency and the build failed.

This version is either within the version range you specified or you haven't specified a version/range. To be able to test your project with the new version, we've taken the liberty of pinning the version for this branch and pull request.

name	version specification	new version
illuminate/contracts	^9.0	^10.0

Unfortunately, we encountered failing tests after pinning. This means that this new version is not compatible with your project and the test failure will potentially also happen on fresh installs.

If you have correctly specified a semantic versioning version range, you should probably also file an issue with the upstream project as they might have released an update that's breaking SemVer rules, which is not cool. (But then again, not all projects explicitly follow SemVer)

We've left the pull request open for you to investigate this issue. Please don't merge it as is, because, again, we've pinned the version of illuminate/contracts for this test run.

PR Review: illuminate/contracts v12.31.1 Update

❌ DO NOT MERGE - Critical Issues Identified

---

🔴 Critical Issues

1. Pinned Dependency Version (BLOCKING)

Location: composer.json:20

The PR pins illuminate/contracts to an exact version (12.31.1) instead of using semantic versioning:

"illuminate/contracts": "12.31.1"

Issue: This completely breaks semantic versioning and dependency management. The original constraint was ^9.0|^10.0|^11.0|^12.0 which properly allows patch and minor updates.

Impact:

• Prevents automatic security and bug fixes
• Forces users to manually update even for patch releases
• Breaks Composer's dependency resolution for other packages
• Violates Laravel package best practices

Recommendation: This PR should be CLOSED as it was created by Depfu bot to test compatibility. The pinned version was never meant to be merged.

---

2. Test Failures (BLOCKING)

According to the PR description, the build failed with this version, indicating a breaking change or incompatibility.

Impact:

• Package will not work correctly with Laravel 12.31.1
• Could introduce runtime errors or unexpected behavior

Action Required:

1. Investigate what breaking changes were introduced in illuminate/contracts 12.31.1
2. Update the package code to handle the breaking changes
3. Ensure all tests pass before considering any merge

---

📋 Code Quality Issues

3. Unnecessary Formatting Changes

The PR contains 77 additions and 77 deletions, but the only meaningful change is the dependency version. All other changes are whitespace/formatting:

• Converted 4-space indentation to 2-space indentation
• Changed array formatting style
• Added trailing newline

Issue: These formatting changes:

• Pollute the git history
• Make code review difficult
• Are unrelated to the dependency update
• May conflict with the project's coding standards

---

🔒 Security Concerns

✅ No direct security issues with the changes themselves, but:

• Pinning dependencies prevents automatic security updates
• Failed tests may indicate security-relevant breaking changes

---

⚡ Performance Considerations

✅ No performance impact from this change

---

🧪 Test Coverage

❌ Tests are failing according to the PR description

• Need to investigate which tests are failing
• Determine if breaking changes in illuminate/contracts require code updates

---

📝 Recommendations

1. Close this PR - It was created by Depfu bot for testing and should not be merged
2. Investigate the breaking change - Find out what changed in illuminate/contracts between 12.x and 12.31.1 that breaks compatibility
3. Update package code - Make necessary changes to support the new version
4. Keep semantic versioning - Continue using ^12.0 constraint, not pinned versions
5. Create a proper PR - Once fixes are made, create a new PR with:
   • Code changes to fix compatibility
   • Passing tests
   • Proper semantic versioning
   • No formatting changes

---

🎯 Action Items

• Close this PR
• Run tests locally with illuminate/contracts 12.31.1 to identify failures
• Review illuminate/contracts changelog for breaking changes
• Update code to handle breaking changes
• Create new PR with fixes (if needed)
• Keep semantic versioning constraint ^9.0|^10.0|^11.0|^12.0

---

Verdict: ❌ REJECT - This PR should be closed. It was an automated test by Depfu that revealed compatibility issues, not a mergeable update.

Investigating illuminate/contracts v12.31.1 Compatibility

• Check CI test results to see what actually failed
• Review composer.json changes
• Analyze the dependency conflict
• Provide recommendations

Summary

The build failures are NOT caused by any breaking changes in illuminate/contracts 12.31.1 itself. Instead, they're caused by a fundamental dependency conflict when pinning to an exact version.

The Problem

The CI logs show this error:

Root composer.json requires illuminate/contracts 12.31.1 -> satisfiable by 
illuminate/contracts[v12.31.1], laravel/framework[v12.31.1].

Root composer.json requires orchestra/testbench ^7.0|^8.0|^9.0

The issue: When you pin illuminate/contracts to 12.31.1, Composer tries to install Laravel 12.31.1. However:

• orchestra/testbench ^7.0 requires Laravel 9.x
• orchestra/testbench ^8.0 requires Laravel 10.x
• orchestra/testbench ^9.0 requires Laravel 11.x
• There is no testbench version for Laravel 12.x yet

Why This Happened

Depfu pinned the exact version (12.31.1) to test compatibility. This breaks the dependency tree because:

1. The original constraint ^9.0|^10.0|^11.0|^12.0 allows Composer to choose compatible versions
2. Pinning to exactly 12.31.1 forces Laravel 12.x
3. Laravel 12.x doesn't have a compatible orchestra/testbench package yet
4. Composer cannot resolve the dependencies → build fails

What Changed in the PR

The diff shows:

• ✅ Changed illuminate/contracts from ^9.0|^10.0|^11.0|^12.0 to 12.31.1 (pinned)
• ❌ Also changed all indentation from 4 spaces to 2 spaces (unnecessary formatting change)

Recommendations

Option 1: Close This PR ✅ RECOMMENDED

This PR should be closed. It's a Depfu test PR that revealed Laravel 12.x isn't ready for use with this package yet (no testbench support). The semantic versioning constraint ^12.0 is correct, but you should wait until:

• orchestra/testbench releases Laravel 12.x support
• Your package is explicitly tested with Laravel 12.x

Option 2: Update Dependencies for Laravel 12 Support

If you want to support Laravel 12.x now, you'd need to:

1. Wait for orchestra/testbench v10.x (Laravel 12 support)
2. Update your test suite for Laravel 12 compatibility
3. Test thoroughly with all supported Laravel versions

Option 3: Restrict to Laravel 11.x and Earlier

If Laravel 12 support isn't a priority:

1. Change illuminate/contracts to ^9.0|^10.0|^11.0 (remove ^12.0)
2. This prevents users from accidentally trying to use it with Laravel 12

Verdict

❌ DO NOT MERGE - Close this PR.

The current semantic versioning constraint ^9.0|^10.0|^11.0|^12.0 is technically fine, but in practice, Laravel 12 support doesn't work yet because the testing infrastructure (orchestra/testbench) doesn't support it. You should either:

• Remove ^12.0 from the constraint until you're ready to support it, OR
• Keep the constraint but expect it won't work until testbench catches up

The pinned version in this PR was never meant to be merged—it's just Depfu's way of testing.
