The original session 2.5 migration had to omit this FK due to an SQLite-only "rebuild on FK add" cascade-delete quirk. Now that the test infrastructure has moved to MySQL (Task 1 of this session), the quirk does not apply and the FK is restored to match every other FK in this table. Changes: - New migration `2026_04_28_100000_restore_default_crowd_type_id_foreign_key` adds a FOREIGN KEY (default_crowd_type_id) REFERENCES crowd_types(id) ON DELETE SET NULL. Deleting a CrowdType nulls the column on dependent schemas instead of cascading the schema delete. - Original migration's comment block rewritten — the SQLite-quirk rationale was demonstrably misleading; replaced with a forward-looking pointer to the FK-restore migration. - PersonProvisioner::resolveCrowdTypeId() docblock updated: the runtime failsafe is now defense in depth alongside the DB-level FK + publish guard, not the sole load-bearing check. New test (`DefaultCrowdTypeForeignKeyTest`) exercises both the ON-DELETE-SET-NULL cascade and the existence of the FK in information_schema.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS — the second assertion would have been impossible on SQLite, which is exactly the point. Migration step counts in 5 backfill tests bumped +1 because the FK- restore migration sits at the top of the migration stack: - FormFieldBindingMigrationTest: 17→18, 15→16 - ConditionalLogicBackfillTest: 6→7 - FormFieldConfigBackfillAndDropTest: 12→13 - FormFieldOptionsBackfillTest: 2→3 - FormFieldValidationRuleBackfillTest: 15→16 All 1388 tests pass on MySQL (1386 prior + 2 new FK tests).

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.
