RemoteAuthService::getVerifyCredentials, getFollowing and getToken made
outbound HTTP requests to a user-controlled remote instance during the
Mastodon login flow with no timeout, no retry and no exception handling.
A slow or hostile instance could hang the request or surface an uncaught
exception.
Wrap all three in timeout(20)->retry(3, 750) with try/catch that returns
false on failure, matching the existing pattern in isDomainCompatible().
Callers already treat a falsy return as a failure; add the missing guard
at the one verify_credentials call site that accessed the result array
without checking it first.
Adds RemoteAuthServiceTest covering connection failure, server error and
success paths.
Pure rename of the App\Rules\PixelfedUsername validation rule to
App\Rules\ValidUsername for a clearer, more idiomatic name. Updates
the class, filename, test, and all 8 controller call sites. No
behavior change.
Replace 7 duplicated inline username validation closures across 6
controllers (ApiV1Dot1, RemoteAuth, CuratedRegister, AdminInvite x2,
AppRegister, Auth/Register) with the existing PixelfedUsername rule.
Add the 'must contain at least one alphabetical character' check to
the rule so all call sites share consistent, stricter validation.
Add PixelfedUsernameTest covering all validation branches.
Move all Eloquent models from the app/ root directory to app/Models/
for consistency with modern Laravel conventions. The project already had
54 models in App\Models; this migrates the remaining 52 legacy models.
Changes:
- Move 52 model files from app/ to app/Models/
- Update namespace declarations in each model
- Update all ~1000 import references across the codebase
- Add Relation::morphMap() in AppServiceProvider for backward
compatibility with existing polymorphic database records
- Add missing HasSnowflakePrimary imports for models that relied
on same-namespace resolution
Adds explicit return type declarations to 498 controller methods
across 88 files. Types inferred from return statements:
- JsonResponse for response()->json() returns
- RedirectResponse for redirect()/back() returns
- View (contract) for view() returns
- Response for response() returns
- void for methods with no return value
- array for array returns
- string/int/bool for scalar returns
Also fixes 3 methods with incorrect bare returns:
- AvatarController::deleteAvatar - bare return → json response
- ImportPostController::checkPermissions - bare return → true
- RemoteAuthController::accountToId - bare return → empty array
Replace all deprecated helper function calls:
- str_slug() → Str::slug()
- starts_with() → str_starts_with()
- ends_with() → str_ends_with()
- array_first() → Arr::first()
- array_last() → Arr::last()
- array_flatten() → Arr::flatten()
Remove laravel/helpers package from composer.json as it is no longer
needed and will not be maintained for Laravel 13.
