Summary

New major line 7.x (cut from 6.x) for Laravel 13. 6.x stays on Laravel 11/12.

• Constraints: illuminate/contracts ^12.0|^13.0. Laravel 11 is dropped because Composer refuses every 11.x release over a security advisory. Dev deps: testbench ^10.0|^11.0, phpunit ^11.0|^12.0.
• Observer fix (behaviour-preserving): Laravel 13 throws LogicException: … may not be called on model … while it is being booted when a model calls observe() while it is booting, and observe() instantiates the model. The Ordered and CascadeUpdate traits called parent::observe() from their boot methods, so on Laravel 13 any model using either trait failed on first instantiation. Both now register their observers with static::whenBooted(...), which Laravel 12 and 13 both run right after boot.
• New tests (tests/Traits/ObservedTraitsTest.php, plus two fake models) check that a model using each trait gets its observer's listeners, and for Ordered, its OrderedScope. Before the fix they error on Laravel 13. With the Ordered registration removed, the test fails (…OrderedObserver@saving missing).
• Psalm: Laravel 13 makes Scope generic, so OrderedScope declares @implements Scope<Model>. Psalm reports 0 errors on Laravel 13, which is what the Psalm workflow resolves (composer install with no lockfile). On Laravel 12 the annotation gives 1 error, because Scope isn't generic there.
• CI / README: the matrix is now Laravel 12/13 on PHP 8.3–8.5, 7.x is added to the trigger branches, and the README's version table lists 7.x.

Local runs (composer update --prefer-stable --with laravel/framework:<v>, then testbench package:test --parallel --no-coverage, which is the composer test script):

PHP	Laravel	Testbench	Result
8.4.23	12.69.3	10.12.0	OK (35 tests, 60 assertions)
8.5.8	12.69.3	10.12.0	OK (35 tests, 60 assertions)
8.4.23	13.35.0	11.3.0	OK (35 tests, 60 assertions)
8.5.8	13.35.0	11.3.0	OK (35 tests, 60 assertions)

Release: tag v7.0.0 from 7.x after merge.
