Modernize artisan and public/index.php to the streamlined bootstrap form,
migrate factories/seeders autoload to PSR-4 (database/seeds -> seeders), and
backfill missing env-driven config keys across app, session, database, queue,
mail, logging, and cache. All changes are additive and preserve existing
Pixelfed behavior and defaults.

Laravel 13 defaults serializable_classes to false, blocking arbitrary
PHP object unserialization from cache. This project caches CustomFilter
model instances (in getCachedFiltersForAccount), so it must be
explicitly allowlisted.
All other cache usage in this project stores scalars, arrays, or
Fractal-transformed array output — no other classes need allowlisting.
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.
