`artist:demote-expired-options` artisan command finds every ArtistEngagement still in Option whose option_expires_at has passed, transitions it back to Draft via the existing state-machine (transitionStatus), and writes an `option_expired` activity entry with the original expiry timestamp captured in properties so the audit log distinguishes system-driven expiries from manual demotions. Idempotency: the state-machine bails when the engagement is no longer in Option, so a second run within the same minute is a no-op for any given row. The auto-logged `updated` row + the explicit `status_changed` + the `option_expired` entries are emitted only by the run that actually performs the transition. Scheduled in routes/console.php daily at 03:00 Europe/Amsterdam, matching the existing nightly low-traffic window. Notification (email project leader on demotion) is deferred to the notification framework that lands post-Accreditation; tracked under BACKLOG entry ART-DEMOTE-NOTIFICATION.

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.
