Laravel 11 exposes MariaDB as a dedicated 'mariadb' driver, so
config('database.default') === 'mysql' checks silently misclassified
MariaDB as the non-mysql (postgres) branch.
- Add App\Util\Database\DatabaseDriver with isMysqlLike()/isPgsql()
plus db_is_mysql_like()/db_is_pgsql() global helpers.
- Route all database.default driver checks through the helpers so
MySQL and MariaDB are treated as one group.
- Use '' (not null) for share/compose caption+rendered, valid whether
the column is nullable or NOT NULL (it is NOT NULL on MySQL/MariaDB).
- Guard pgsql strtolower() in registration against missing fields.
- Scope CustomEmoji::duplicateShortcodes to the grouped column for
Postgres GROUP BY validity.
- Remove stale Postgres guard in status:dedup; use havingRaw for
cross-driver HAVING.
publishNext() throws ValidationException::withMessages() for invalid
story overlays (bad text/hashtag/mention/url/type), but the enclosing
catch (\Exception $e) caught it too, since ValidationException extends
Exception. Clients got a generic 500 "Failed to create story" instead
of the intended 422 with field-level errors, and the log was flooded
with ordinary user-input validation failures logged as server errors.
Catch ValidationException separately, roll back, and rethrow it so
Laravel's exception handler renders the normal 422 response.
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 \Cache::, \Log::, \DB:: calls with their imported facade
equivalents. The backslash-prefix relies on global aliases which
PHPStan cannot resolve, causing class.notFound errors.
str_random() is a deprecated helper from laravel/helpers that was
missed in the initial helpers removal. Replace all 18 call sites
with the modern Str::random() equivalent.
PHP 5.5.9 adds the new static `class` property which provides the fully qualified class name. This is preferred over using strings for class names since the `class` property references are checked by PHP.
