+description: Scaffold Core PHP Framework patterns (Actions, Multi-tenant, Activity Logging, Modules, Seeders)
+---
+
+# Core Patterns Scaffolding
+
+You are helping the user scaffold common Core PHP Framework patterns. This is an interactive skill - gather information through conversation before generating code.
+
+## Start by asking what the user wants to create
+
+Present these options:
+
+1. **Action class** - Single-purpose business logic class
+2. **Multi-tenant model** - Add workspace isolation to a model
+3. **Activity logging** - Add change tracking to a model
+4. **Module** - Create a new module with Boot class
+5. **Seeder** - Create a seeder with dependency ordering
+
+Ask: "What would you like to scaffold? (1-5 or describe what you need)"
+
+---
+
+## Option 1: Action Class
+
+Actions are small, focused classes that do one thing well. They extract complex logic from controllers and Livewire components.
+
+### Gather information
+
+Ask the user for:
+- **Action name** (e.g., `CreateInvoice`, `PublishPost`, `SendNotification`)
+- **Module** (e.g., `Billing`, `Content`, `Notification`)
+- **What it does** (brief description to understand parameters needed)
+
+### Generate the Action
+
+Location: `packages/core-php/src/Mod/{Module}/Actions/{ActionName}.php`
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace Core\Mod\{Module}\Actions;
+
+use Core\Actions\Action;
+
+/**
+ * {Description}
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   $action = app({ActionName}::class);
+ *   $result = $action->handle($param1, $param2);
+ *
+ *   // Or via static helper:
+ *   $result = {ActionName}::run($param1, $param2);
+ */
+class {ActionName}
+{
+    use Action;
+
+    public function __construct(
+        // Inject dependencies here
+    ) {}
+
+    /**
+     * Execute the action.
+     */
+    public function handle(/* parameters */): mixed
+    {
+        // Implementation
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Key points to explain
+
+- Actions use the `Core\Actions\Action` trait for the static `run()` helper
+- Dependencies are constructor-injected
+- The `handle()` method contains the business logic
+- Can optionally implement `Core\Actions\Actionable` for type-hinting
+- Naming convention: verb + noun (CreateThing, UpdateThing, DeleteThing)
+
+---
+
+## Option 2: Multi-tenant Model
+
+The `BelongsToWorkspace` trait enforces workspace isolation with automatic scoping and caching.
+
+### Gather information
+
+Ask the user for:
+- **Model name** (e.g., `Invoice`, `Project`)
+- **Whether workspace context is always required** (default: yes)
+
+### Migration requirement
+
+Ensure the model's table has a `workspace_id` column:
+
+```php
+$table->foreignId('workspace_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
+```
+
+### Add the trait
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace Core\Mod\{Module}\Models;
+
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Concerns\BelongsToWorkspace;
+use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
+
+class {ModelName} extends Model
+{
+    use BelongsToWorkspace;
+
+    protected $fillable = [
+        'workspace_id',
+        // other fields...
+    ];
+
+    // Optional: Disable strict mode (not recommended)
+    // protected bool $workspaceContextRequired = false;
+}
+```
+
+### Key points to explain
+
+- **Auto-assignment**: `workspace_id` is automatically set from the current workspace context on create
+- **Query scoping**: Use `Model::ownedByCurrentWorkspace()` to scope queries
+- **Caching**: Use `Model::ownedByCurrentWorkspaceCached()` for cached collections
+- **Security**: Throws `MissingWorkspaceContextException` if no workspace context and strict mode is enabled
+- **Relation**: Provides `workspace()` belongsTo relationship
+
+### Usage examples
+
+```php
+// Query scoped to current workspace
+$invoices = Invoice::ownedByCurrentWorkspace()->where('status', 'paid')->get();
+
+// Cached collection for current workspace
+$invoices = Invoice::ownedByCurrentWorkspaceCached();
+
+// Query for specific workspace
+$invoices = Invoice::forWorkspace($workspace)->get();
+
+// Check ownership
+if ($invoice->belongsToCurrentWorkspace()) {
+    // safe to display
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Option 3: Activity Logging
+
+The `LogsActivity` trait wraps spatie/laravel-activitylog with framework defaults and workspace tagging.
+
+### Gather information
+
+Ask the user for:
+- **Model name** to add logging to
+- **Which attributes to log** (all, or specific ones)
+- **Which events to log** (created, updated, deleted - default: all)
+
+### Add the trait
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace Core\Mod\{Module}\Models;
+
+use Core\Activity\Concerns\LogsActivity;
+use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
+
+class {ModelName} extends Model
+{
+    use LogsActivity;
+
+    // Optional configuration via properties:
+
+    // Log only specific attributes (default: all)
+    // protected array $activityLogAttributes = ['status', 'amount'];
+
+    // Custom log name (default: from config)
+    // protected string $activityLogName = 'invoices';
+
+    // Events to log (default: created, updated, deleted)
+    // protected array $activityLogEvents = ['created', 'updated'];
+
+    // Include workspace_id in properties (default: true)
+    // protected bool $activityLogWorkspace = true;
+
+    // Only log dirty attributes (default: true)
+    // protected bool $activityLogOnlyDirty = true;
+}
+```
+
+### Custom activity tap (optional)
+
+```php
+/**
+ * Customize activity before saving.
+ */
+protected function customizeActivity(\Spatie\Activitylog\Contracts\Activity $activity, string $eventName): void
+{
+    $activity->properties = $activity->properties->merge([
+        'custom_field' => $this->some_field,
+    ]);
+}
+```
+
+### Key points to explain
+
+- Automatically includes `workspace_id` in activity properties
+- Empty logs are not submitted
+- Uses sensible defaults that can be overridden via model properties
+- Can temporarily disable logging with `Model::withoutActivityLogging(fn() => ...)`
+
+---
+
+## Option 4: Module
+
+Modules are the core organizational unit. Each module has a Boot class that declares which lifecycle events it listens to.
+
+### Gather information
+
+Ask the user for:
+- **Module name** (e.g., `Billing`, `Notifications`)
+- **What the module provides** (web routes, admin panel, API, console commands)
+
+### Create the directory structure
+
+```
+packages/core-php/src/Mod/{ModuleName}/

+
+### Generate Boot.php
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace Core\Mod\{ModuleName};
+
+use Core\Events\AdminPanelBooting;
+use Core\Events\ApiRoutesRegistering;

+    /**
+     * Events this module listens to for lazy loading.
+     *
+     * @var array<class-string, string>
+     */
+    public static array $listens = [
+        WebRoutesRegistering::class => 'onWebRoutes',
+        ApiRoutesRegistering::class => 'onApiRoutes',
+        AdminPanelBooting::class => 'onAdminPanel',
+        ConsoleBooting::class => 'onConsole',
+    ];
+
+    public function register(): void
+    {
+        // Register singletons and bindings
+    }
+
+    public function boot(): void
+    {
+        $this->loadMigrationsFrom(__DIR__.'/Database/Migrations');
+        $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/Lang/en_GB', $this->moduleName);
+    }
+
+    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
+    // Event-driven handlers
+    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    public function onWebRoutes(WebRoutesRegistering $event): void
+    {
+        $event->views($this->moduleName, __DIR__.'/View/Blade');
+
+        if (file_exists(__DIR__.'/Routes/web.php')) {
+            $event->routes(fn () => Route::middleware('web')->group(__DIR__.'/Routes/web.php'));
+        }
+
+        // Register Livewire components
+        // $event->livewire('{module}.component-name', View\Components\ComponentName::class);
+    }
+
+    public function onApiRoutes(ApiRoutesRegistering $event): void
+    {
+        if (file_exists(__DIR__.'/Routes/api.php')) {
+            $event->routes(fn () => Route::middleware('api')->group(__DIR__.'/Routes/api.php'));

+
+    public function onAdminPanel(AdminPanelBooting $event): void

+        $event->views($this->moduleName, __DIR__.'/View/Blade');
+    }
+
+    public function onConsole(ConsoleBooting $event): void
+    {
+        // Register commands
+        // $event->command(Console\MyCommand::class);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Available lifecycle events
+
+| Event | Purpose | Handler receives |
+|-------|---------|------------------|
+| `WebRoutesRegistering` | Public web routes | views, routes, livewire |
+| `AdminPanelBooting` | Admin panel setup | views, routes |
+| `ApiRoutesRegistering` | REST API routes | routes |
+| `ClientRoutesRegistering` | Authenticated client routes | routes |
+| `ConsoleBooting` | Artisan commands | command, middleware |
+| `McpToolsRegistering` | MCP tools | tools |
+| `FrameworkBooted` | Late initialization | - |
+
+### Key points to explain
+
+- The `$listens` array declares which events trigger which methods
+- Modules are lazy-loaded - only instantiated when their events fire
+- Keep Boot classes thin - delegate to services and actions
+- Use the `$moduleName` for consistent view namespace and translations
+
+---
+
+## Option 5: Seeder with Dependencies
+
+Seeders can declare ordering via attributes for dependencies between seeders.
+
+### Gather information
+
+Ask the user for:
+- **Seeder name** (e.g., `PackageSeeder`, `DemoDataSeeder`)
+- **Module** it belongs to
+- **Dependencies** - which seeders must run before this one
+- **Priority** (optional) - lower numbers run first (default: 50)
+
+### Generate the Seeder
+
+Location: `packages/core-php/src/Mod/{Module}/Database/Seeders/{SeederName}.php`
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace Core\Mod\{Module}\Database\Seeders;
+
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederAfter;
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederPriority;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Database\Seeders\FeatureSeeder;
+use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
+
+/**
+ * Seeds {description}.
+ */
+#[SeederPriority(50)]
+#[SeederAfter(FeatureSeeder::class)]
+class {SeederName} extends Seeder
+{
+    /**
+     * Run the database seeds.
+     */
+    public function run(): void
+    {
+        // Guard against missing tables
+        if (! Schema::hasTable('your_table')) {
+            return;
+        }
+
+        // Seeding logic here
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Available attributes
+
+```php
+// Set priority (lower runs first, default 50)
+#[SeederPriority(10)]
+
+// Must run after these seeders
+#[SeederAfter(FeatureSeeder::class)]
+#[SeederAfter(FeatureSeeder::class, PackageSeeder::class)]
+
+// Must run before these seeders
+#[SeederBefore(DemoDataSeeder::class)]
+```
+
+### Priority guidelines
+
+| Range | Use case |
+|-------|----------|
+| 0-20 | Foundation seeders (features, configuration) |
+| 20-40 | Core data (packages, workspaces) |
+| 40-60 | Default priority (general seeders) |
+| 60-80 | Content seeders (pages, posts) |
+| 80-100 | Demo/test data seeders |
+
+### Key points to explain
+
+- Always guard against missing tables with `Schema::hasTable()`
+- Use `updateOrCreate()` to make seeders idempotent
+- Seeders are auto-discovered from `Database/Seeders/` directories
+- The framework detects circular dependencies and throws `CircularDependencyException`
+
+---
+
+## After generating code
+
+Always:
+1. Show the generated code with proper file paths
+2. Explain what was created and why
+3. Provide usage examples
+4. Mention any follow-up steps (migrations, route registration, etc.)
+5. Ask if they need any modifications or have questions
+
+Remember: This is pair programming. Be helpful, explain decisions, and adapt to what the user needs.

 # Core PHP Framework
 
+A modular monolith framework for Laravel with event-driven architecture, lazy module loading, and built-in multi-tenancy.
 
+## Features
 
-A modular monolith framework for Laravel with event-driven architecture and lazy module loading.
+- **Event-driven module system** - Modules declare interest in lifecycle events and are only loaded when needed
+- **Lazy loading** - Web requests don't load admin modules, API requests don't load web modules
+- **Multi-tenant isolation** - Workspace-scoped data with automatic query filtering
+- **Actions pattern** - Single-purpose business logic classes with dependency injection
+- **Activity logging** - Built-in audit trails for model changes
+- **Seeder auto-discovery** - Automatic ordering via priority and dependency attributes
+- **HLCRF Layout System** - Hierarchical composable layouts (Header, Left, Content, Right, Footer)

 The service provider will be auto-discovered.
 
-## Configuration
+## Quick Start
 
-Publish the config file:
+### Creating a Module
 
 ```bash
-php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-config
-```
-
-Configure your module paths in `config/core.php`:
-
-```php
-return [
-    'module_paths' => [
-        app_path('Core'),
-        app_path('Mod'),
-    ],
-];
-```
-
-## Creating Modules
-
-Use the artisan commands to scaffold modules:
-
-```bash
-# Create a full module
 php artisan make:mod Commerce
-
-# Create a website module (domain-scoped)
-php artisan make:website Marketing
-
-# Create a plugin
-php artisan make:plug Stripe
 ```
 
-## Module Structure
-
-Modules are organised with a `Boot.php` entry point:
-
-```
-app/Mod/Commerce/
-├── Boot.php
-├── Routes/
-│   ├── web.php
-│   ├── admin.php

-### Available Events
+### Lifecycle Events
 
 | Event | Purpose |
 |-------|---------|
 | `WebRoutesRegistering` | Public-facing web routes |
 | `AdminPanelBooting` | Admin panel routes and navigation |
 | `ApiRoutesRegistering` | REST API endpoints |
-| `ClientRoutesRegistering` | Authenticated client/workspace routes |
+| `ClientRoutesRegistering` | Authenticated client routes |
 | `ConsoleBooting` | Artisan commands |
 | `McpToolsRegistering` | MCP tool handlers |
 | `FrameworkBooted` | Late-stage initialisation |
 
-### Event Methods
+## Core Patterns
 
-Events collect requests from modules:
+### Actions
+
+Extract business logic into testable, reusable classes:
 
 ```php
-// Register routes
-$event->routes(fn () => require __DIR__.'/routes.php');
+use Core\Actions\Action;
 
-// Register view namespace
-$event->views('namespace', __DIR__.'/Views');
+class CreateOrder
+{
+    use Action;
 
-// Register Livewire component
-$event->livewire('alias', ComponentClass::class);
+    public function handle(User $user, array $data): Order
+    {
+        // Business logic here
+        return Order::create($data);
+    }
+}
 
-// Register navigation item
-$event->navigation(['label' => 'Products', 'icon' => 'box']);
-
-// Register Artisan command (ConsoleBooting)
-$event->command(MyCommand::class);
-
-// Register middleware alias
-$event->middleware('alias', MiddlewareClass::class);
-
-// Register translations
-$event->translations('namespace', __DIR__.'/lang');
-
-// Register Blade component path
-$event->bladeComponentPath(__DIR__.'/components', 'prefix');
-
-// Register policy
-$event->policy(Model::class, Policy::class);
+// Usage
+$order = CreateOrder::run($user, $validated);
 ```
 
-## Firing Events
+### Multi-Tenant Isolation
 
-Create frontage service providers to fire events at appropriate times:
+Automatic workspace scoping for models:
 
 ```php
-use Core\LifecycleEventProvider;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Concerns\BelongsToWorkspace;
 
-class WebServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
+class Product extends Model
 {
-    public function boot(): void
-    {
-        LifecycleEventProvider::fireWebRoutes();
-    }
+    use BelongsToWorkspace;
+}
+
+// Queries are automatically scoped to the current workspace
+$products = Product::all();
+
+// workspace_id is auto-assigned on create
+$product = Product::create(['name' => 'Widget']);
+```
+
+### Activity Logging
+
+Track model changes with minimal setup:
+
+```php
+use Core\Activity\Concerns\LogsActivity;
+
+class Order extends Model
+{
+    use LogsActivity;
+
+    protected array $activityLogAttributes = ['status', 'total'];
 }
 ```
 
-## Lazy Loading
+### HLCRF Layout System
 
-Modules are only instantiated when their subscribed events fire. A web request doesn't load admin-only modules. An API request doesn't load web modules. This keeps your application fast.
-
-## Custom Namespace Mapping
-
-For non-standard directory structures:
+Data-driven layouts with infinite nesting:
 
 ```php
-$scanner = app(ModuleScanner::class);
-$scanner->setNamespaceMap([
-    'CustomMod' => 'App\\CustomMod',
-]);
+use Core\Front\Components\Layout;
+
+$page = Layout::make('HCF')
+    ->h('<nav>Navigation</nav>')
+    ->c('<article>Main content</article>')
+    ->f('<footer>Footer</footer>');
+
+echo $page;
 ```
 
-## Contracts
+Variant strings define structure: `HCF` (Header-Content-Footer), `HLCRF` (all five regions), `H[LC]CF` (nested layouts).
 
-### AdminMenuProvider
+See [HLCRF.md](packages/core-php/src/Core/Front/HLCRF.md) for full documentation.
 
-Implement for admin navigation:
+## Configuration
+
+Publish the config file:
+
+```bash
+php artisan vendor:publish --tag=core-config
+```
+
+Configure module paths in `config/core.php`:
 
 ```php
-use Core\Front\Admin\Contracts\AdminMenuProvider;
-
-class Boot implements AdminMenuProvider
-{
-    public function adminMenuItems(): array
-    {
-        return [
-            [
-                'group' => 'services',
-                'priority' => 20,
-                'item' => fn () => [
-                    'label' => 'Products',
-                    'icon' => 'box',
-                    'href' => route('admin.products.index'),
-                ],
-            ],
-        ];
-    }
-}
+return [
+    'module_paths' => [
+        app_path('Core'),
+        app_path('Mod'),
+    ],
+];
 ```
 
-### ServiceDefinition
+## Artisan Commands
 
-For SaaS service registration:
-
-```php
-use Core\Service\Contracts\ServiceDefinition;
-
-class Boot implements ServiceDefinition
-{
-    public static function definition(): array
-    {
-        return [

-            'module' => 'Commerce',
-            'name' => 'Commerce',
-            'tagline' => 'E-commerce platform',
-        ];
-    }
-}
+```bash

+# Core PHP Framework Patterns
+
+This guide covers the key architectural patterns used throughout the Core PHP Framework. Each pattern includes guidance on when to use it, quick start examples, and common pitfalls to avoid.
+

+
+1. [Actions Pattern](#1-actions-pattern)
+2. [Multi-Tenant Data Isolation](#2-multi-tenant-data-isolation)
+3. [Module System (Lifecycle Events)](#3-module-system-lifecycle-events)

+6. [Service Definition](#6-service-definition)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Actions Pattern
+
+**Location:** `packages/core-php/src/Core/Actions/`
+
+Actions are single-purpose classes that encapsulate business logic. They extract complex operations from controllers and Livewire components into testable, reusable units.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Business operations with multiple steps (validation, authorization, persistence, side effects)
+- Logic that should be reusable across controllers, commands, and API endpoints
+- Operations that benefit from dependency injection
+- Any operation complex enough to warrant unit testing in isolation
+
+### When NOT to Use
+
+- Simple CRUD operations that don't need validation beyond form requests
+- One-line operations that don't benefit from abstraction
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Example\Actions;
+
+use Core\Actions\Action;
+
+class CreatePost
+{
+    use Action;
+
+    public function __construct(
+        protected PostRepository $posts,
+        protected ImageService $images
+    ) {}
+
+    public function handle(User $user, array $data): Post
+    {
+        // Your business logic here
+        $post = $this->posts->create([
+            'user_id' => $user->id,
+            'title' => $data['title'],
+            'content' => $data['content'],
+        ]);
+
+        if (isset($data['image'])) {
+            $this->images->attach($post, $data['image']);
+        }
+
+        return $post;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```php
+// Via dependency injection (preferred)
+public function __construct(private CreatePost $createPost) {}
+
+$post = $this->createPost->handle($user, $validated);
+
+// Via static helper
+$post = CreatePost::run($user, $validated);
+
+// Via container
+$post = app(CreatePost::class)->handle($user, $validated);
+```
+
+### Full Example
+
+Here's an Action that creates a project with entitlement checking:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Projects\Actions;
+
+use Core\Actions\Action;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Exceptions\EntitlementException;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Models\User;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Models\Workspace;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Services\EntitlementService;
+use Mod\Projects\Models\Project;
+use Spatie\Activitylog\Facades\Activity;
+
+class CreateProject
+{
+    public function __construct(
+        protected EntitlementService $entitlements
+    ) {}
+
+    /**
+     * @throws EntitlementException
+     */
+    public function handle(User $user, array $data): Project
+    {
+        $workspace = $user->defaultWorkspace();
+
+        // Check entitlements
+        if ($workspace) {
+            $this->checkEntitlements($workspace);
+        }
+
+        // Generate unique slug if not provided
+        $data['slug'] = $data['slug'] ?? $this->generateUniqueSlug($data['name']);
+        $data['user_id'] = $user->id;
+        $data['workspace_id'] = $data['workspace_id'] ?? $workspace?->id;
+
+        // Create the project
+        $project = Project::create($data);
+
+        // Record usage
+        if ($workspace) {
+            $this->entitlements->recordUsage(
+                $workspace,
+                'projects.count',
+                1,
+                $user,
+                ['project_id' => $project->id]
+            );
+        }
+
+        // Log activity
+        Activity::causedBy($user)
+            ->performedOn($project)
+            ->withProperties(['name' => $project->name])
+            ->log('created');
+
+        return $project;
+    }
+
+    public static function run(User $user, array $data): Project
+    {
+        return app(static::class)->handle($user, $data);
+    }
+
+    protected function checkEntitlements(Workspace $workspace): void
+    {
+        $result = $this->entitlements->can($workspace, 'projects.count');
+
+        if ($result->isDenied()) {
+            throw new EntitlementException(
+                "You have reached your project limit. Please upgrade your plan.",
+                'projects.count'
+            );
+        }
+    }
+
+    protected function generateUniqueSlug(string $name): string
+    {
+        $slug = \Illuminate\Support\Str::slug($name);
+        $original = $slug;
+        $counter = 1;
+
+        while (Project::where('slug', $slug)->exists()) {
+            $slug = $original . '-' . $counter++;
+        }
+
+        return $slug;
+    }
+}
+```

+
+### Configuration
+
+Actions use Laravel's service container for dependency injection. No additional configuration is required.
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Too many responsibilities | Keep actions focused on one operation. Split into multiple actions if needed. |
+| Returning void | Always return something useful (the created/updated model, a result DTO). |
+| Not using dependency injection | Inject dependencies via constructor, not `app()` calls inside methods. |
+| Catching all exceptions | Let exceptions bubble up for proper error handling. |
+| Direct database queries | Use repositories or model methods for testability. |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
+
+**Location:** `packages/core-php/src/Mod/Tenant/`
+
+The multi-tenant system ensures data isolation between workspaces using global scopes and traits. This is a **security-critical** pattern that prevents cross-tenant data leakage.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Any model that "belongs" to a workspace and should be isolated
+- Data that must never be visible across tenant boundaries
+- Resources that should be automatically scoped to the current workspace context
+
+### Key Components
+
+| Component | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `BelongsToWorkspace` trait | Add to models that belong to a workspace |
+| `WorkspaceScope` | Global scope that filters queries |
+| `MissingWorkspaceContextException` | Security exception when context is missing |
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Example\Models;
+
+use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Concerns\BelongsToWorkspace;
+
+class Project extends Model
+{
+    use BelongsToWorkspace;
+
+    protected $fillable = [
+        'workspace_id',
+        'name',
+        'description',
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+That's it! The trait automatically:
+- Assigns `workspace_id` when creating records
+- Scopes all queries to the current workspace
+- Throws exceptions if workspace context is missing (in strict mode)
+- Invalidates cache when records change
+
+### Full Example
+
+**Model with workspace isolation:**
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Inventory\Models;
+
+use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Concerns\BelongsToWorkspace;
+
+class Product extends Model
+{
+    use BelongsToWorkspace;
+
+    protected $fillable = [
+        'workspace_id',
+        'name',
+        'sku',
+        'price',
+    ];
+
+    // Model methods work normally - scoping is automatic
+    public function scopeActive($query)
+    {
+        return $query->where('is_active', true);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Using the model:**
+
+```php
+// Automatically scoped to current workspace
+$products = Product::all();
+$product = Product::where('sku', 'ABC123')->first();
+$activeProducts = Product::active()->get();
+
+// Creating - workspace_id is auto-assigned
+$product = Product::create(['name' => 'Widget', 'sku' => 'W001']);
+
+// Cached collection for current workspace
+$products = Product::ownedByCurrentWorkspaceCached();
+
+// Query a specific workspace (admin use)
+$products = Product::forWorkspace($workspace)->get();
+
+// Query across all workspaces (admin use - be careful!)
+$allProducts = Product::acrossWorkspaces()->get();
+```
+
+### Strict Mode vs Permissive Mode
+
+**Strict mode (default):** Throws `MissingWorkspaceContextException` when workspace context is unavailable. This is the secure default.
+
+```php
+// In strict mode, this throws an exception if no workspace context
+$products = Product::all(); // MissingWorkspaceContextException
+```
+
+**Permissive mode:** Returns empty results instead of throwing. Use sparingly.
+
+```php
+// Disable strict mode globally (not recommended)
+WorkspaceScope::disableStrictMode();
+
+// Disable for a specific callback
+WorkspaceScope::withoutStrictMode(function () {
+    // Operations here return empty results if no context
+    $products = Product::all(); // Returns empty collection
+});
+
+// Disable for a specific model
+class LegacyProduct extends Model
+{
+    use BelongsToWorkspace;
+
+    protected bool $workspaceScopeStrict = false; // Not recommended
+}
+```
+
+### When to Use `forWorkspace()` vs `acrossWorkspaces()`
+
+| Method | Use Case |
+|--------|----------|
+| `forWorkspace($workspace)` | Admin viewing a specific workspace's data |
+| `acrossWorkspaces()` | Global reports, admin dashboards, CLI commands |
+| Neither (default) | Normal application code - uses current context |
+
+**Always prefer the default scoping** unless you have a specific reason to query across workspaces.
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+1. **Never disable strict mode globally** in production
+2. **Audit uses of `acrossWorkspaces()`** - each use should be justified
+3. **CLI commands** automatically bypass strict mode (they have no request context)
+4. **Test data isolation** - write tests that verify cross-tenant queries fail
+5. **The `workspace_id` column must exist** on all tenant-scoped tables
+
+### Configuration
+
+```php
+// In migrations - always add workspace_id
+Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
+    $table->id();
+    $table->foreignId('workspace_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
+    $table->string('name');
+    // ...
+    $table->index('workspace_id'); // Important for performance
+});
+```
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Forgetting `workspace_id` in migrations | Always add the foreign key and index |
+| Using `acrossWorkspaces()` casually | Audit every usage, prefer default scoping |
+| Suppressing the exception | Don't catch `MissingWorkspaceContextException` - fix the context |
+| Direct DB queries | Use Eloquent models so scopes apply |
+| Joining across tenant boundaries | Ensure joins respect workspace_id |

+**Location:** `packages/core-php/src/Core/Events/`, `packages/core-php/src/Core/Module/`
+
+The module system uses lifecycle events for lazy-loading modules. Modules declare what events they listen to, and are only instantiated when those events fire.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Creating a new feature module
+- Registering routes, views, Livewire components
+- Adding admin panel navigation
+- Registering console commands
+
+### How It Works
+
+```
+Application Start
+       │
+       ▼
+ModuleScanner scans for Boot.php files with $listens arrays
+       │
+       ▼
+ModuleRegistry registers lazy listeners for each event-module pair
+       │
+       ▼
+Request comes in → Appropriate lifecycle event fires
+       │
+       ▼
+LazyModuleListener instantiates module and calls handler
+       │
+       ▼
+Module registers its resources (routes, views, etc.)
+```
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Create a `Boot.php` file in your module directory:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Example;
+
+use Core\Events\WebRoutesRegistering;
+
+class Boot
+{
+    public static array $listens = [
+        WebRoutesRegistering::class => 'onWebRoutes',
+    ];
+
+    public function onWebRoutes(WebRoutesRegistering $event): void
+    {
+        $event->views('example', __DIR__.'/Views');
+        $event->routes(fn () => require __DIR__.'/Routes/web.php');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Available Lifecycle Events
+
+| Event | Context | When It Fires |
+|-------|---------|---------------|
+| `WebRoutesRegistering` | Web requests | Public frontend routes |
+| `AdminPanelBooting` | Admin requests | Admin panel setup |
+| `ApiRoutesRegistering` | API requests | REST API routes |
+| `ClientRoutesRegistering` | Client dashboard | Authenticated client routes |
+| `ConsoleBooting` | CLI commands | Artisan booting |
+| `QueueWorkerBooting` | Queue workers | Queue worker starting |
+| `McpToolsRegistering` | MCP server | MCP tool registration |
+| `FrameworkBooted` | All contexts | After all context-specific events |
+
+### Full Example
+
+A complete module Boot class:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Inventory;
+
+use Core\Events\AdminPanelBooting;
+use Core\Events\ApiRoutesRegistering;
+use Core\Events\ConsoleBooting;
+use Core\Events\WebRoutesRegistering;
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
+use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
+
+class Boot extends ServiceProvider
+{
+    protected string $moduleName = 'inventory';
+
+    public static array $listens = [
+        AdminPanelBooting::class => 'onAdminPanel',
+        ApiRoutesRegistering::class => 'onApiRoutes',
+        WebRoutesRegistering::class => 'onWebRoutes',
+        ConsoleBooting::class => 'onConsole',
+    ];
+
+    public function register(): void
+    {
+        // Register service bindings
+        $this->app->singleton(
+            Services\InventoryService::class,
+            Services\InventoryService::class
+        );
+    }
+
+    public function boot(): void
+    {
+        // Load migrations
+        $this->loadMigrationsFrom(__DIR__.'/Migrations');
+        $this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/Lang/en', 'inventory');
+    }
+
+    public function onAdminPanel(AdminPanelBooting $event): void
+    {
+        $event->views($this->moduleName, __DIR__.'/View/Blade');
+
+        // Navigation
+        $event->navigation([
+            'label' => 'Inventory',
+            'icon' => 'box',
+            'route' => 'admin.inventory.index',
+            'sort_order' => 50,
+        ]);
+
+        // Livewire components
+        $event->livewire('inventory-list', View\Livewire\InventoryList::class);
+        $event->livewire('product-form', View\Livewire\ProductForm::class);
+    }
+
+    public function onApiRoutes(ApiRoutesRegistering $event): void
+    {
+        $event->routes(fn () => Route::middleware('api')
+            ->prefix('v1/inventory')
+            ->group(__DIR__.'/Routes/api.php'));
+    }
+
+    public function onWebRoutes(WebRoutesRegistering $event): void
+    {
+        $event->views($this->moduleName, __DIR__.'/View/Blade');
+        $event->routes(fn () => Route::middleware('web')
+            ->group(__DIR__.'/Routes/web.php'));
+    }
+
+    public function onConsole(ConsoleBooting $event): void
+    {
+        $event->command(Console\SyncInventoryCommand::class);
+        $event->command(Console\PruneStaleStockCommand::class);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Available Request Methods
+
+Events provide these methods for registering resources:
+
+| Method | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `routes(callable)` | Register route files/callbacks |
+| `views(namespace, path)` | Register view namespaces |
+| `livewire(alias, class)` | Register Livewire components |
+| `middleware(alias, class)` | Register middleware aliases |
+| `command(class)` | Register Artisan commands |
+| `translations(namespace, path)` | Register translation namespaces |
+| `bladeComponentPath(path, namespace)` | Register anonymous Blade components |
+| `policy(model, policy)` | Register model policies |
+| `navigation(item)` | Register navigation items |
+
+### The Request/Collect Pattern
+
+Events use a "request/collect" pattern:
+
+1. **Modules request** resources via methods like `routes()`, `views()`
+2. **Requests are collected** in arrays during event dispatch
+3. **LifecycleEventProvider processes** all requests with validation
+
+This ensures modules don't directly mutate infrastructure and allows central validation.
+
+### Module Directory Structure
+
+```
+Mod/Inventory/
+├── Boot.php                    # Module entry point
+├── Routes/
+│   ├── web.php
+│   └── api.php
+├── View/
+│   ├── Blade/                  # Blade templates
+│   │   └── admin/
+│   └── Livewire/               # Livewire components
+├── Models/
+├── Actions/
+├── Services/
+├── Console/
+├── Migrations/
+└── Lang/
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Namespace detection is automatic based on path:
+- `/Core` paths → `Core\` namespace
+- `/Mod` paths → `Mod\` namespace
+- `/Website` paths → `Website\` namespace
+- `/Plug` paths → `Plug\` namespace
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Registering routes outside events | Always use `$event->routes()` in handlers |
+| Heavy work in `$listens` handlers | Keep handlers lightweight; defer work |
+| Forgetting to add `$listens` | Module won't load without static `$listens` |
+| Using wrong event | Match event to request context (web, api, admin) |
+| Instantiating in `$listens` | The array is read statically; don't call methods |
+

+## 4. Activity Logging
+
+**Location:** `packages/core-php/src/Core/Activity/`
+
+Activity logging tracks model changes and user actions. Built on spatie/laravel-activitylog with workspace-aware enhancements.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Audit trails for compliance
+- User activity history
+- Model change tracking
+- Debugging and support
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Add the trait to any model:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Example\Models;
+
+use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
+use Core\Activity\Concerns\LogsActivity;
+
+class Document extends Model
+{
+    use LogsActivity;
+
+    protected $fillable = ['title', 'content', 'status'];
+}
+```
+
+That's it! All creates, updates, and deletes are now logged with:
+- Changed attributes (old and new values)
+- The user who made the change
+- The workspace context
+- Timestamp
+
+### Full Example
+
+**Model with customized logging:**
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Contracts\Models;
+
+use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
+use Core\Activity\Concerns\LogsActivity;
+use Spatie\Activitylog\Contracts\Activity;
+
+class Contract extends Model
+{
+    use LogsActivity;
+
+    protected $fillable = [
+        'workspace_id',
+        'client_name',
+        'value',
+        'status',
+        'signed_at',
+        'internal_notes', // Don't log this
+    ];
+
+    // Only log these attributes
+    protected array $activityLogAttributes = [
+        'client_name',
+        'value',
+        'status',
+        'signed_at',
+    ];
+
+    // Custom log name
+    protected string $activityLogName = 'contracts';
+
+    // Events to log (default: created, updated, deleted)
+    protected array $activityLogEvents = ['created', 'updated', 'deleted'];
+
+    // Add custom data to activity
+    public function customizeActivity(Activity $activity, string $eventName): void
+    {
+        $activity->properties = $activity->properties->merge([
+            'contract_number' => $this->contract_number,
+            'client_id' => $this->client_id,
+        ]);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Querying activity logs:**
+
+```php
+use Core\Activity\Services\ActivityLogService;
+
+$service = app(ActivityLogService::class);
+
+// Get activities for a specific model
+$activities = $service->logFor($contract)->recent(20);
+
+// Get activities by a user in a workspace
+$activities = $service
+    ->logBy($user)
+    ->forWorkspace($workspace)
+    ->lastDays(7)
+    ->paginate(25);
+
+// Get all "updated" events for a model type
+$activities = $service
+    ->forSubjectType(Contract::class)
+    ->ofType('updated')
+    ->between('2024-01-01', '2024-12-31')
+    ->get();
+
+// Search activities
+$results = $service->search('approved contract');
+
+// Get statistics
+$stats = $service->statistics($workspace);
+// Returns: ['total' => 150, 'by_event' => [...], 'by_subject' => [...], 'by_user' => [...]]
+```
+
+**Using the Activity model directly:**
+
+```php
+use Core\Activity\Models\Activity;
+
+// Get activities for a workspace
+$activities = Activity::forWorkspace($workspace)->newest()->get();
+
+// Filter by event type
+$created = Activity::createdEvents()->lastDays(30)->get();
+$deleted = Activity::deletedEvents()->withDeletedSubject()->get();
+
+// Get activities with changes
+$withChanges = Activity::withChanges()->get();
+
+// Access change details
+foreach ($activities as $activity) {
+    echo $activity->description;
+    echo $activity->causer_name;  // "John Doe" or "System"
+    echo $activity->subject_name; // "Contract #123"
+
+    // Get specific changes
+    foreach ($activity->changes as $field => $values) {
+        echo "{$field}: {$values['old']} -> {$values['new']}";
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Configure via model properties:
+
+| Property | Type | Default | Description |
+|----------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `$activityLogAttributes` | array | null (all) | Attributes to log |
+| `$activityLogName` | string | 'default' | Log name for grouping |
+| `$activityLogEvents` | array | ['created', 'updated', 'deleted'] | Events to log |
+| `$activityLogWorkspace` | bool | true | Include workspace_id |
+| `$activityLogOnlyDirty` | bool | true | Only log changed attributes |
+
+**Global configuration (config/core.php):**
+
+```php
+'activity' => [
+    'enabled' => env('ACTIVITY_LOG_ENABLED', true),
+    'log_name' => 'default',
+    'include_workspace' => true,
+    'default_events' => ['created', 'updated', 'deleted'],
+    'retention_days' => 90,
+],
+```
+
+### Temporarily Disabling Logging
+
+```php
+// Disable for a callback
+Document::withoutActivityLogging(function () {
+    $document->update(['status' => 'processed']);
+});
+
+// Check if logging is enabled
+if (Document::activityLoggingEnabled()) {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Pruning Old Logs
+
+```bash
+# Via artisan command
+php artisan activity:prune --days=90
+
+# Via service
+$service = app(ActivityLogService::class);
+$deleted = $service->prune(90); // Delete logs older than 90 days
+```
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Logging sensitive data | Exclude sensitive fields via `$activityLogAttributes` |
+| Excessive logging | Log only meaningful changes, not every field |
+| Performance issues | Use `withoutActivityLogging()` for bulk operations |
+| Missing workspace context | Ensure workspace is set before logging |
+| Large properties | Limit logged data; don't log file contents |
+

+## 5. Seeder Auto-Discovery
+
+**Location:** `packages/core-php/src/Core/Database/Seeders/`
+
+The seeder auto-discovery system scans module directories for seeders and executes them in the correct order based on priority and dependencies.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Creating seeders for a module
+- Seeding reference data (features, packages, configuration)
+- Establishing dependencies between seeders
+- Demo/test data setup
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Create a seeder in your module's `Database/Seeders/` directory:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Example\Database\Seeders;
+
+use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
+
+class ExampleFeatureSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    // Optional: Lower values run first (default: 50)
+    public int $priority = 10;
+
+    public function run(): void
+    {
+        // Seed your data
+        Feature::updateOrCreate(
+            ['code' => 'example.feature'],
+            ['name' => 'Example Feature', 'type' => 'boolean']
+        );
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Seeders are discovered automatically - no manual registration required.
+
+### Priority and Dependencies
+
+**Using priority (simple ordering):**
+
+```php
+// Using class property
+class FeatureSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    public int $priority = 10; // Runs early
+}
+
+// Using attribute
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederPriority;
+
+#[SeederPriority(10)]
+class FeatureSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    public function run(): void { /* ... */ }
+}
+```
+
+**Priority guidelines:**
+
+| Range | Use Case |
+|-------|----------|
+| 0-20 | Foundation (features, config) |
+| 20-40 | Core data (packages, workspaces) |
+| 40-60 | Default (general seeders) |
+| 60-80 | Content (pages, posts) |
+| 80-100 | Demo/test data |
+
+**Using dependencies (explicit ordering):**
+
+```php
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederAfter;
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederBefore;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Database\Seeders\FeatureSeeder;
+
+// This seeder runs AFTER FeatureSeeder completes
+#[SeederAfter(FeatureSeeder::class)]
+class PackageSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    public function run(): void
+    {
+        // Can safely reference features created by FeatureSeeder
+    }
+}
+
+// This seeder runs BEFORE PackageSeeder
+#[SeederBefore(PackageSeeder::class)]
+class FeatureSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    public function run(): void
+    {
+        // Features are created first
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Multiple dependencies:**
+
+```php
+#[SeederAfter(FeatureSeeder::class, PackageSeeder::class)]
+class WorkspaceSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    // Runs after both FeatureSeeder and PackageSeeder
+}
+```
+
+### Full Example
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Billing\Database\Seeders;
+
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederAfter;
+use Core\Database\Seeders\Attributes\SeederPriority;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Database\Seeders\FeatureSeeder;
+use Core\Mod\Tenant\Database\Seeders\WorkspaceSeeder;
+use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
+use Mod\Billing\Models\Plan;
+
+#[SeederPriority(30)]
+#[SeederAfter(FeatureSeeder::class)]
+class PlanSeeder extends Seeder
+{
+    public function run(): void
+    {
+        // Guard against missing table
+        if (! Schema::hasTable('billing_plans')) {
+            return;
+        }
+
+        $plans = [
+            [
+                'code' => 'free',
+                'name' => 'Free',
+                'price_monthly' => 0,
+                'features' => ['basic.access'],
+                'sort_order' => 1,
+            ],
+            [
+                'code' => 'pro',
+                'name' => 'Professional',
+                'price_monthly' => 29,
+                'features' => ['basic.access', 'advanced.features', 'support.priority'],
+                'sort_order' => 2,
+            ],
+            [
+                'code' => 'enterprise',
+                'name' => 'Enterprise',
+                'price_monthly' => 99,
+                'features' => ['basic.access', 'advanced.features', 'support.priority', 'api.access'],
+                'sort_order' => 3,
+            ],
+        ];
+
+        foreach ($plans as $planData) {
+            Plan::updateOrCreate(
+                ['code' => $planData['code']],
+                $planData
+            );
+        }
+
+        $this->command->info('Billing plans seeded successfully.');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### How Discovery Works
+
+1. `SeederDiscovery` scans configured paths for `*Seeder.php` files
+2. Files are read to extract namespace and class name
+3. Priority and dependency attributes/properties are parsed
+4. Seeders are topologically sorted (dependencies first, then by priority)
+5. `CoreDatabaseSeeder` executes them in order
+
+### Configuration
+
+The discovery scans these paths by default:
+- `app/Core/*/Database/Seeders/`
+- `app/Mod/*/Database/Seeders/`
+- `packages/core-php/src/Core/*/Database/Seeders/`
+- `packages/core-php/src/Mod/*/Database/Seeders/`
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Circular dependencies | Review dependencies; use priority instead if possible |
+| Missing table errors | Check `Schema::hasTable()` before seeding |
+| Non-idempotent seeders | Use `updateOrCreate()` or `firstOrCreate()` |
+| Hardcoded IDs | Use codes/slugs for lookups, not numeric IDs |
+| Dependencies on non-existent seeders | Ensure dependent seeders are discoverable |
+| Forgetting to output progress | Use `$this->command->info()` for visibility |
+

+
+## 6. Service Definition
+
+**Location:** `packages/core-php/src/Core/Service/`
+
+Services are the product layer of the framework. They define how modules are presented as SaaS products with versioning, health checks, and dependency management.
+
+### When to Use
+
+- Defining a new SaaS product/service
+- Adding health monitoring to a service
+- Declaring service dependencies
+- Managing service lifecycle (deprecation, sunset)
+
+### Key Components
+
+| Component | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `ServiceDefinition` | Interface for service definitions |
+| `ServiceVersion` | Semantic versioning with deprecation |
+| `ServiceDependency` | Declare dependencies on other services |
+| `HealthCheckable` | Interface for health monitoring |
+| `HealthCheckResult` | Health check response object |
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Billing;
+
+use Core\Service\Contracts\ServiceDefinition;
+use Core\Service\ServiceVersion;
+
+class BillingService implements ServiceDefinition
+{
+    public static function definition(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            'code' => 'billing',
+            'module' => 'Mod\\Billing',
+            'name' => 'Billing',
+            'tagline' => 'Subscription management',
+            'icon' => 'credit-card',
+            'color' => '#10B981',
+            'entitlement_code' => 'core.srv.billing',
+            'sort_order' => 20,
+        ];
+    }
+
+    public static function version(): ServiceVersion
+    {
+        return new ServiceVersion(1, 0, 0);
+    }
+
+    public static function dependencies(): array
+    {
+        return [];
+    }
+
+    // From AdminMenuProvider interface
+    public function menuItems(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            [
+                'label' => 'Billing',
+                'icon' => 'credit-card',
+                'route' => 'admin.billing.index',
+            ],
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Full Example
+
+A complete service with health checks and dependencies:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace Mod\Analytics;
+
+use Core\Service\Contracts\HealthCheckable;
+use Core\Service\Contracts\ServiceDefinition;
+use Core\Service\Contracts\ServiceDependency;
+use Core\Service\HealthCheckResult;
+use Core\Service\ServiceVersion;
+
+class AnalyticsService implements ServiceDefinition, HealthCheckable
+{
+    public function __construct(
+        protected ClickHouseConnection $clickhouse,
+        protected RedisConnection $redis
+    ) {}
+
+    public static function definition(): array
+    {
+        return [
+            'code' => 'analytics',
+            'module' => 'Mod\\Analytics',
+            'name' => 'AnalyticsHost',
+            'tagline' => 'Privacy-first website analytics',
+            'description' => 'Lightweight, GDPR-compliant analytics without cookies.',
+            'icon' => 'chart-line',
+            'color' => '#F59E0B',
+            'entitlement_code' => 'core.srv.analytics',
+            'sort_order' => 30,
+        ];
+    }
+
+    public static function version(): ServiceVersion
+    {
+        return new ServiceVersion(2, 1, 0);
+    }
+
+    public static function dependencies(): array
+    {

+### Service Versioning
+
+```php
+use Core\Service\ServiceVersion;
+
+// Create a version
+$version = new ServiceVersion(2, 1, 0);
+echo $version; // "2.1.0"
+
+// Parse from string
+$version = ServiceVersion::fromString('v2.1.0');
+
+// Check compatibility
+$minimum = new ServiceVersion(1, 5, 0);
+$current = new ServiceVersion(1, 8, 2);
+$current->isCompatibleWith($minimum); // true
+
+// Mark as deprecated
+$version = (new ServiceVersion(1, 0, 0))
+    ->deprecate(
+        'Use v2.x instead. See docs/migration.md',
+        new \DateTimeImmutable('2025-06-01')
+    );
+
+// Check deprecation status
+if ($version->deprecated) {
+    echo $version->deprecationMessage;
+}
+
+if ($version->isPastSunset()) {
+    throw new ServiceSunsetException('Service no longer available');
+}
+```
+
+### Service Dependencies
+
+```php
+use Core\Service\Contracts\ServiceDependency;
+
+public static function dependencies(): array
+{
+    return [
+        // Required with minimum version
+        ServiceDependency::required('auth', '>=1.0.0'),
+
+        // Required with version range
+        ServiceDependency::required('billing', '>=2.0.0', '<3.0.0'),
+
+        // Optional dependency
+        ServiceDependency::optional('analytics'),
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```php
+use Core\Service\Contracts\HealthCheckable;
+use Core\Service\HealthCheckResult;
+
+class MyService implements ServiceDefinition, HealthCheckable
+{
+    public function healthCheck(): HealthCheckResult
+    {
+        // Healthy
+        return HealthCheckResult::healthy('All systems operational');
+
+        // Healthy with response time
+        return HealthCheckResult::healthy(
+            'Service operational',
+            ['connections' => 5],
+            responseTimeMs: 45.2
+        );
+
+        // Degraded (works but with issues)
+        return HealthCheckResult::degraded(
+            'High latency detected',
+            ['latency_ms' => 1500]
+        );
+
+        // Unhealthy
+        return HealthCheckResult::unhealthy(
+            'Database connection failed',
+            ['last_error' => 'Connection refused']
+        );
+
+        // From exception
+        try {
+            $this->checkCriticalSystem();
+        } catch (\Exception $e) {
+            return HealthCheckResult::fromException($e);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Health Check Guidelines
+
+Health checks should be:
+
+| Guideline | Recommendation |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Fast | Complete within 5 seconds (< 1 second preferred) |
+| Non-destructive | Read-only operations only |
+| Representative | Test actual critical dependencies |
+| Safe | Handle all exceptions, return HealthCheckResult |
+
+### Configuration
+
+Service definitions populate the `platform_services` table:
+
+```php
+// definition() return array
+[
+    'code' => 'billing',          // Unique identifier (required)
+    'module' => 'Mod\\Billing',   // Module namespace (required)
+    'name' => 'Billing',          // Display name (required)
+    'tagline' => 'Subscription management',  // Short description
+    'description' => '...',       // Full description
+    'icon' => 'link',             // FontAwesome icon
+    'color' => '#3B82F6',         // Brand color
+    'entitlement_code' => '...',  // Access control code
+    'sort_order' => 10,           // Menu ordering
+]
+```
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+| Pitfall | Solution |
+|---------|----------|
+| Slow health checks | Keep under 1 second; test critical paths only |
+| Circular dependencies | Review service architecture; refactor if needed |
+| Missing version() | Always implement; return `ServiceVersion::initial()` at minimum |
+| Health check exceptions | Catch all exceptions; return `fromException()` |
+| Forgetting dependencies | Document all service interdependencies |
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+These patterns form the backbone of the Core PHP Framework:
+
+| Pattern | Purpose | Key Files |
+|---------|---------|-----------|
+| Actions | Encapsulate business logic | `Core\Actions\Action` |
+| Multi-Tenant | Data isolation between workspaces | `BelongsToWorkspace`, `WorkspaceScope` |
+| Module System | Lazy-loading via lifecycle events | `Boot.php`, `$listens` |
+| Activity Logging | Audit trail and change tracking | `LogsActivity`, `ActivityLogService` |
+| Seeder Discovery | Auto-discovered, ordered seeding | `#[SeederPriority]`, `#[SeederAfter]` |
+| Service Definition | SaaS product layer | `ServiceDefinition`, `HealthCheckable` |
