Laravel 12 modular architecture, explained

1. Modules are folders, not magic

In Laravel-based FlareVix products, 'modules' usually mean domain folders (Modules/Orders, Modules/Tenant) with their own routes, migrations and services. Extending them means following the package's existing pattern, not the framework default.

2. The upgrade-safe rule

Put your custom code in a new module or a service provider, never edit the vendor-like core files. That's how you keep merging our upstream security patches.

• Never modify migrations after they ship — add new ones
• Override config through env, not by editing config files
• One custom module per business feature keeps upgrades clean
