#What's New
#PestPHP Intellisense
The extension now inspects your project's Pest configuration and generates helper docblocks that preserve the correct $this type inside Pest hooks and tests. It also exposes custom expectation methods, giving you autocomplete for pest()->extend(...), pest()->use(...), and custom expectations.
The generated docblocks are stored in storage/framework/testing/_pest.php and ignored by git.

#"Go to Route" Command
A new command palette action, Laravel: Go to route, opens a picker listing all application routes and navigates directly to the selected route handler. Routes can be searched by path or name.

#Common Artisan Commands With Terminal Execution
This release adds a curated set of common Artisan commands to the command palette with terminal-based execution. Commands run in a dedicated "Laravel Artisan" terminal so you can see output directly in VS Code. The list includes commands for migrations, database tools, queue management, caching, tinker, route listing, and more.
