Key framework additions include Laravel LSP for multi-editor language server support (NeoVim, Zed, Sublime Text, Cursor, OpenCode), Blade file formatting in Pint 1.30, and a new `artisan doctor` health-check command covering environment config and security audits. Other framework additions include `artisan dev`, a head tag API, refreshable locks, debounced jobs, and a CPX tool similar to npx for PHP. On the AI SDK front, human-in-the-loop tool approval, filesystem tools for agents, multimodal embeddings, and OpenAI-compatible provider support were added. Laravel Cloud gains scale-to-zero Flex compute with sub-500ms cold starts (including MySQL), autoscaling managed queues with FIFO ordering, a built-in secrets manager, monorepo deployments for Next.js and Nuxt, and HIPAA compliance for Private Cloud. ## Content ## Overview Laracon US 2026 packed in a lot of announcements across the Laravel framework, tooling, and Cloud platform. Here's a rundown of what shipped or was previewed. --- ## Laravel LSP Laravel now has a first-party language server. Laravel LSP understands your application's context and provides completions for config keys, route names, view paths, translation strings, middleware, Livewire components, and more — not just generic PHP syntax. Official editor support covers VS Code, Sublime Text, Zed, Neovim, Cursor, and OpenCode. The Zed extension (v0.1.0) is already in the extension registry and handles binary downloads automatically. Worth noting: a community Zed extension already existed and takes a different approach (tree-sitter parsing rather than running PHP scripts), so you shouldn't run both at once. --- ## Blade formatting in Laravel Pint Pint 1.30.0 adds Blade template formatting behind a `--blade` flag. Under the hood it runs `.blade.php` files through Prettier using the `prettier-plugin-blade` plugin, so Node.js and a few npm packages are required. If they're missing, Pint detects your package manager and offers to install them. The formatter handles Alpine attributes, Livewire `wire:` bindings, Flux components, and Tailwind class sorting. A few file categories are excluded — Envoy tasks, mail views, and Boost guidelines — to avoid unintended output changes. The feature is fully opt-in, so existing projects aren't affected. The release also fixes `--diff` to include renamed files and corrects `--quiet` to write violations to stderr rather than silently dropping them. There's also a new `in` key in `pint.json` for restricting which directories get scanned. --- ## Laravel Doctor `php artisan doctor` is a new first-party package (v0.1) that runs health checks against your application. It covers: - Environment setup (APP_KEY, PHP version, required extensions) - Composer dependencies and `composer audit` for security vulnerabilities - Database connectivity - Cache, queue, and session driver configuration - Storage permissions - Security settings Checks return one of six statuses. Many issues can be auto-fixed with `--fix`. It's environment-aware (local vs. production behavior differs), supports custom diagnostics registered by third-party packages, and outputs JSON or GitHub Actions-compatible formats for CI. There's also an agent-optimized output mode for tools like Claude Code or Cursor. Requires PHP 8.3 and Laravel 12 or 13. --- ## Laravel Head Laravel Head is a new official package for managing everything inside an HTML document's ``. It provides a fluent API for: - A five-layer metadata precedence system - Route-level metadata via `withHead()` - Open Graph and Twitter card tags - JSON-LD structured data (articles, products, breadcrumbs, FAQs, etc.) - Resource hints (preload, prefetch, preconnect) - PWA metadata and favicons It works with Blade, Livewire, and Inertia.js including SSR. Requires PHP 8.3 and Laravel 13.17+. --- ## Laravel AI SDK: human-in-the-loop approvals v0.10.0 of the Laravel AI SDK adds a human-in-the-loop API so agents can pause before running sensitive tools and wait for explicit approval. Tools opt in via the `Approvable` contract and `InteractsWithApprovals` trait. Approval logic can be conditional — for example, only requiring a human sign-off for refunds above $2,000. When a tool is paused, the response exposes pending approvals with the tool call ID, name, arguments, and reason. Resuming requires passing a `Decisions` object with explicit approve or reject choices per call. The feature works across prompt, stream, queue, and broadcast modes. Upgrading requires a schema migration to add an `approval_state` column and implementing `storeApprovalResults()` in any custom `ConversationStore` implementations. The SDK also gained filesystem tools for agents, a `summarize()` string helper, multimodal embeddings, and OpenAI-compatible provider support. --- ## Laravel Cloud updates Cloud shipped scale-to-zero Flex compute with cold starts under 500ms — MySQL included, which is the part that actually matters since databases are usually what prevent scale-to-zero from being practical. Managed queues now support autoscaling and FIFO. There's also a new secrets manager, monorepo deployment support for Next.js and Nuxt, and Private Cloud updates including HIPAA compliance. --- ## Other announcements - **Image manipulation API** — a new built-in API for image processing - **CPX** — an `npx`-equivalent for PHP packages - **`artisan dev` command** — development workflow improvements - **Inertia DevTools** — a Chrome extension for debugging Inertia apps - **Refreshable locks and debounced jobs** — concurrency and queue improvements - **Package skeleton template** — updated scaffolding for new packages - **Pest v5** — opened the conference as the first talk Tanner Linsley also mentioned that TanStack Octane support for TanStack Start is nearly complete, with adapters either done or in progress for their other libraries. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Laravel February Product Updates](https://daily.dev/posts/laravel-february-product-updates-vdppnpzs7) · Laravel · 40 upvotes · 0 comments - [Laracon AU 2026 Announces Full Speaker Lineup, Schedule, and Workshops](https://daily.dev/posts/laracon-au-2026-announces-full-speaker-lineup-schedule-and-workshops-e4fxoiquj) · Laravel News · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#php](https://daily.dev/tags/php), [#laravel](https://daily.dev/tags/laravel) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/laracon-us-2026-announcements-lsp-blade-formatting-doctor-and-more-duitpcez3)
