⚙️ Technical Stack

• Database: MySQL/MariaDB (InnoDB, UTF-8MB4) with migrations & seeders.
• Frontend: Blade/Twig templates with Tailwind/Bootstrap utilities; AJAX endpoints for messaging.
• Email: SMTP/Transactional APIs (Mailgun/SendGrid) with queue support.
• Caching & Queue (optional): Redis for sessions, queues, throttle counters.
• Server Requirements: Nginx/Apache; PHP extensions: pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, json, xml, ctype, curl, zip.
• Tooling: Composer, Node.js (Vite/Mix) for asset pipeline; PHPUnit/Pest for tests (optional).

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Server Prep: Create a UTF-8MB4 database; enable required PHP extensions; install Composer and Node.js.
2. Deploy Code: Upload files → run composer install --no-dev.
3. Environment: Copy .env.example → .env; set APP_URL, DB creds, mail (SMTP), queue/cache, and file/storage limits.
4. App Key & Storage: php artisan key:generate and php artisan storage:link (if using Laravel-style storage).
5. Migrate & Seed: php artisan migrate --seed to create tables, roles, and a demo admin/user.
6. Build Assets: npm install then npm run build (or dev locally).
7. Queues (optional): Start workers: php artisan queue:work for mail & message notifications.
8. Go Live: Point domain to public/, enable HTTPS, set secure headers (HSTS/CSP), and configure rate limits.

🧠 Notes

• License: Distributed under the GPL to allow study, modification, and redistribution consistent with GPL terms.
• Customization Tips: Keep permission logic in policies/services; use events for message notifications; configure attachment limits & virus scanning where required.
• Security: Enforce HTTPS and 2FA for admins, strong password policy, CSRF & XSS protection, MIME/type checks for uploads, and webhook signatures for mail APIs.
• Performance: Enable OPcache and Redis; paginate conversations; index on users, messages, threads; offload heavy email to queues.
• SEO Assurance: Public pages (help, terms, privacy) include meta hooks, clean URLs, and accessible markup; private areas are noindex by default.
