@anjanesh recently, I did a similar migration from Laravel 8 to 12. I didn't use shift, even though I had a token.

I asked the AI cursor editor to create a merge request for me, and then during review I removed whatever needed to be removed.

By the way, my entire project had 100% test coverage. The moment I see the tests are passing, I get much more confident reviewing the code.

Hi everyone,

I've been working on something for a few months, and I'm finally excited to share it here. I wrote a book about how Laravel actually works internally; the idea is that you build a mini Laravel from scratch, piece by piece: the service container, service providers, facades, the request lifecycle, the router, middleware, and the query builder to Eloquent.

Right now it's in the final review stage with me. Before I wrap it up, I'd love to get more eyes on it from people who really know the framework.

So I'm looking for a few volunteers who'd be up for reviewing it. It's completely volunteer-based; if you enjoy digging into Laravel's internals and want to help make the book better, I'd genuinely appreciate it.

If you're interested, you can inform me via the official website book: https://laravelinternals.com/

Thanks so much, and happy to share details more via email.
