Installs laravel/telescope ^5.0 (v5.12.5) as a dev-dependency.
Three-layer production safety adapted to Laravel 11 layout (no
Kernel.php; routing/schedule in bootstrap/app.php +
routes/console.php):
1. composer.json `extra.laravel.dont-discover` lists
laravel/telescope. After editing, `php artisan package:discover`
regenerates bootstrap/cache/packages.php — without this step
the auto-discovery cache still registers the vendor provider.
2. AppServiceProvider::register() gates registration to local +
testing environments. Registers BOTH the vendor
Laravel\Telescope\TelescopeServiceProvider (routes, migrations,
publishing) AND the project's App\Providers\TelescopeService
Provider (gate + filter) — they're sibling classes that extend
ServiceProvider independently, not parent/child, so both must
register for the dashboard to work. bootstrap/providers.php
deliberately does NOT list either Telescope provider.
3. .env TELESCOPE_ENABLED flag (false in .env.example). Runtime
toggle that disables Telescope even when the providers are
registered.
Production safety verified via simulated APP_ENV=production check:
confirms no Telescope-* providers are loaded.
Authorization: viewTelescope gate restricts dashboard to users
with the super_admin Spatie Permission role. Even in local
environments, only super_admin can view. Default was an email
allow-list stub — replaced with `$user->hasRole('super_admin')`.
Pruning: Schedule::command('telescope:prune --hours=48') added in
routes/console.php (Laravel 11's schedule location), environment-
gated to local + testing only.
Documentation: /dev-docs/TELESCOPE.md added; CLAUDE.md gets a
Development-tooling section. The doc explicitly calls out the
dual-provider registration (vendor + app) which differs from the
single-provider pattern in older Laravel versions.
Migrations applied: telescope_entries, telescope_entries_tags,
telescope_monitoring tables. Route registration verified in local
(42 telescope.* routes).
Tests: 1208/1208 passing — Telescope loads in the testing
environment as well, so the suite exercised it without issues.
Deployment note (flag for separate docs): a production operator
who runs `php artisan migrate` manually will still apply the
Telescope migrations — but because the providers never register
in production, the tables stay empty.

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.
