Context: on 2026-10-21 the dev SQLite DB was wiped because an early revision of Phase 1 tests called RefreshDatabase before the per-test config() swap had been applied, so migrate:fresh ran against the real database file. Restored from data/backups/db-20261020-033001.sqlite (24 users, 72 videos, 32 comments recovered); anything created between Oct 20 03:30 and Oct 21 08:25 needs manual rebuild from NAS. Two layers of defense added so this cannot recur: 1. .env.testing — forces DB_CONNECTION=sqlite and DB_DATABASE=:memory: at the earliest bootstrap stage, before any trait setUp hook runs. Also carries the APP_KEY and testing-safe defaults for mail/queue /session. 2. TestCase::assertSafeTestDatabase() — a belt-and-braces guard that aborts the whole phpunit run (exit code 2) if the resolved default DB target is anything other than :memory: or a /testing/ or /tmp/ path. The abort happens BEFORE any query can execute. Running the suite with a bad DB target now prints a stderr banner and stops instantly; the dev file is safe even if someone writes a new test that forgets to override the connection.

About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
