- Introduced new helper methods such as `createQuietly`, `Request::enums`, collection/generator generics for query builders, ModelInspector enhancements, group‑by DB aggregates, and factory relationship disabling.
- Improved code quality and compatibility by trimming log channel names, updating docblocks, adding PHP 8.4 support, bumping cross‑spawn version, and removing unused variables in the router.
- Fixed several bugs and enhanced security: corrected `withoutOverlapping` handling, hashed tokens stored in the cache, refined relation owner key resolution, and addressed column qualification issues.
