Boot Laravel Package

Technical Evaluation

This package is part of the Spiral Framework ecosystem, not Laravel, and is fundamentally incompatible with Laravel's architecture. Laravel uses Illuminate\Foundation\Application for bootstrapping, while Spiral's kernel and bootloaders follow a completely different design pattern. Integration feasibility is zero for Laravel projects—attempting to force this into Laravel would require rebuilding the entire framework kernel. Technical risks are severe: last release was April 2020 (4+ years ago), 0 dependents, and PHP 8.1+ requirement with no updates for modern PHP versions. Security vulnerabilities are likely unpatched. Key questions: Is the team actually using Spiral Framework (not Laravel)? If yes, why not use spiral/framework directly (which includes updated bootloaders)? If using Laravel, this package is irrelevant and should be disregarded immediately.

Integration Approach

Stack fit is exclusively for Spiral Framework projects—not applicable to Laravel. For Spiral, this standalone package appears deprecated; recent Spiral versions (v3.16.1+) likely embed its functionality directly in spiral/framework, making this repo obsolete. Migration path is nonexistent for Laravel. For Spiral projects, the only viable path is to use the latest spiral/framework package and leverage its built-in bootloaders. Compatibility with modern Spiral versions is questionable—composer.json shows dependencies on spiral/core:^3.16.1, but the package hasn't been updated since 2020 while Spiral's core has evolved. Sequencing would only matter for Spiral projects, but given the inactivity
