LaraBeacon 3 picks up where Enlightn stopped—and adds a second pass for AI‑written Laravel

Description and use

LaraBeacon 3 replaces abandoned Enlightn, supports Laravel 12/13, adds an AI‑written code second pass, and provides a migration guide.

Problem

Enlightn, a popular Laravel analysis tool, is abandoned and no longer supports Laravel 12/13, leaving teams without a release‑check tool for newer frameworks.

Outcome

Teams can continue using a familiar release‑check workflow with updated support for newer Laravel and PHP versions, and benefit from an AI‑assisted second pass that flags environment‑specific issues.

Workflow

• Install LaraBeacon via Composer: composer require --dev baer-software/larabeacon:^3.0
• Run the analysis locally or in CI: php artisan larabeacon or php artisan larabeacon --ci
• Review failed checks in the context of the application
• Fix confirmed problems and rerun tests and LaraBeacon
• Report any remaining issues that need human judgment

Evidence

LaraBeacon 3 is a maintained LGPL‑licensed fork of Enlightn's open‑source core.

Source

The first release updates the package for Laravel 12 and 13, PHP 8.2 through 8.5, Larastan 3, and PHPStan 2.
