Finds dead routes, orphaned event listeners, and zombie jobs — registered code that your application never actually uses.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require fr3on/laravel-ghost
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Scan your application for unused code:

```
php artisan ghost:scan
```

### Modes

[](#modes)

1. **Log mode (default)**: Reads existing access logs (Nginx/Apache/Laravel).
2. **Telescope mode**: Queries your Telescope entries for hit data.
3. **Counter mode**: Lightweight DB hits table (opt-in).

To enable Counter mode, run:

```
php artisan ghost:install
php artisan migrate
```

Expected Result
---------------

[](#expected-result)

The scan command produces a technical report of unused components:

```
+--------+------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Method | URI                    | Action                          |
+--------+------------------------+---------------------------------+
| GET    | /api/legacy/export     | LegacyController@export         |
| POST   | /internal/debug-reset  | DebugController@reset           |
+--------+------------------------+---------------------------------+

Found 2 dead routes, 0 orphaned listeners, 0 zombie jobs.

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ghost-config
```

Configure `scan_paths`, `log_path`, and `exclude_patterns` in `config/ghost.php`.
