Backend: Livewire Tables

• RolesTable

  • Sets model and primary key explicitly; adds default sort by name.

  • Adds an empty table message when no rows exist.

  • Refines columns:

    • Type column now maps internal values to user-friendly labels (e.g., “Administrator”, “User”), with an “N/A” fallback.
    • Name column explicitly binds to the name attribute.
    • Permissions column renders a precomputed permissions_label (HTML-enabled), with a “No permissions” fallback.
    • Number of Users displays users_count.
    • Actions column renders the actions partial as HTML.

  • Builder simplified to Role::query()->withCount('users'). Note: the previous ad‑hoc search filter hook was removed; if search is needed, ensure Livewire Tables’ v2 searching is configured accordingly.

• UsersTable

  • Ensures rendered Blade fragments (2FA and Actions columns) are marked as HTML so the table doesn’t escape them.

Database

• New migrations (both additive and reversible):

  • Add event (nullable string) to the activity_log table.
  • Add batch_uuid (nullable UUID) to the activity_log table.

• Existing 2FA and recovery code migrations are present in the tree (Google2FA setup).

Authentication and Security

• 2FA

  • Replaced darkghosthunter/laraguard with pragmarx/google2fa-laravel.
  • Added Google2FA config and migrations; made follow‑up “dev fixes for 2FA”.

• Password validation

  • Replaced LangleyFoxall\LaravelNISTPasswordRules with Laravel’s native Illuminate\Validation\Rules\Password where applicable.

Timezone handling

• Replaced the previously used/abandoned timezone package with jamesmills/laravel-timezone.
• Introduced corresponding configuration (timezone.php) and integration points.

Frontend and Blade

• Bootstrap 5 migration

  • Updated Blade templates to Bootstrap 5 standards.

  • Removed/updated deprecated attributes/classes; normalized markup across views.

  • Dependency alignment:

    • bootstrap 5.x
    • @popperjs/core instead of popper.js
    • axios 1.x
    • jquery 3.7.x (still present; note BS5 doesn’t require jQuery)
    • laravel-mix 6.0.49

  • Package lockfile format bumped (lockfileVersion 3).

• General clean-up for consistency across backend views and shared includes.

Dependencies (Composer)

• Bumped multiple PHP packages to latest compatible versions (examples called out in the commit message include arcanedev/log-viewer, arcanedev/support, brick/math, dflydev/dot-access-data, etc.).
• Swapped security/timezone related packages as described above.
• Kept Laravel 9.x line and compatible ecosystem.

Behavioral implications and notes

• Roles listing UX improvements: sensible default sort, clearer type labels, explicit empty state, cleaner permissions and actions rendering.

• Audit logging enhancement: event and batch_uuid on activity_log enable richer reporting and correlation of bulk operations.

• 2FA stack change: moved to pragmarx/google2fa-laravel; configuration, middleware, and recovery flow should be validated end‑to‑end.

• Password policy now uses core Laravel rules; ensure env/config reflect desired strength requirements.

• Bootstrap 5 migration:

  • Check for any custom JS relying on jQuery plugins previously bundled with BS4.
  • Verify templates, forms, and components render correctly (e.g., form groups, input groups, navbars, dropdowns, modals).

• Livewire Tables v2 adjustments:

  • configure() and HTML rendering flags are updated; confirm sorting, searching, and pagination work as expected.
  • If you relied on custom search logic in RolesTable builder(), ensure the v2 built‑in search is properly configured.

Operational checklist

• Backend

  • composer install
  • php artisan migrate
  • php artisan reset (or clear-all) if you use the provided scripts to refresh caches

• Frontend

  • yarn install
  • yarn run prod (or dev) via Laravel Mix

• Post‑migration verifications

  • Activity log entries still write correctly; new columns populated where applicable.
  • 2FA enrollment, verification, and recovery codes flow.
  • User and Role tables: sorting, searching, pagination, action buttons, and labels.
  • Permissions display for roles (permissions_label source).
  • Timezone capture/storage and display where used.
  • Blade views across backend dashboard and user/role CRUD for BS5 styling and interactions.
