Structural Architecture

Laravel's repository primarily represents the skeletal application structure (the exact scaffolding users gain when running `composer create-project`). This establishes opinionated perfection in defining how app routing, controllers, and models should interact.

Opinionated MVC segregation, separating `views` (resources) from `controllers` (app/Http).
Framework core (`illuminate`) hidden in `vendor`, strictly insulating framework internals from the skeletal application layout.

Notable Directories

/app

Where application logic resides: Models, Http Controllers, and Providers.

/routes

Centralized execution paths cleanly segregating `web.php` and `api.php` endpoints.

/config

Massive static configuration matrix mapping out all framework defaults.
