Pre-flight audit verified the implementation was already in place, so this commit is test-only (as the task prompt allowed): - api/database/migrations/2026_04_08_220000_create_persons_table.php:27 already carries $table->softDeletes(). - api/app/Models/Person.php lines 18 + 24 already use the SoftDeletes trait. No production code change required. tests/Feature/Person/PersonSoftDeleteTest.php pins the documented behaviour so WS-6 (FormBindingApplicator + ARTIST_ADVANCE / EVENT_REGISTRATION workflows) can rely on it without a second verification pass: - delete() sets deleted_at and excludes the row from default queries - Person::withTrashed()->find($id) returns the soft-deleted row - Person::onlyTrashed()->count() reports accurately - restore() clears deleted_at - forceDelete() removes the row permanently PersonPolicy was spot-checked alongside the audit; existing view/update/ delete methods do not invoke withTrashed() on controller resolution. That's acceptable today — no caller relies on editing a trashed Person — so AUTH_ARCHITECTURE.md is left unchanged. If a restore-workflow lands in a future sprint, the controller binding will need to switch to ->withTrashed() and the behaviour deserves a dedicated doc paragraph then. Minor path note: the task prompt specified tests/Feature/Persons/PersonSoftDeleteTest.php (plural), but the existing convention in this repo is tests/Feature/Person/ (singular). Matched the existing directory rather than introducing a singular/plural split. Also carries the BACKLOG DOC-04 entry Bert asked for during WS-4 review: scripts/install-claude-sync-hooks.sh belongs in SETUP.md / onboarding so new clones don't miss the post-commit sync hook. 5 tests / 10 new assertions. Full suite: 1005 passed (2716 assertions). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
