Description
-----------

[](#description)

Impersonate adds Enso user impersonation routes, middleware, and frontend boot state.

The package exposes start and stop impersonation endpoints, registers the `impersonate` middleware alias, and publishes an `Impersonating` state provider so the frontend can reflect the current session mode.

It is a focused authentication-adjacent package, not a full access-management system on its own.

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

[](#installation)

Install the package:

```
composer require laravel-enso/impersonate
```

Run the package migrations:

```
php artisan migrate
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Start and stop impersonation endpoints.
- Dedicated impersonation middleware alias.
- Frontend state provider for current impersonation status.
- Authorization provider wiring through the package service providers.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package mounts:

```
route('core.impersonate.start', ['user' => $user]);
route('core.impersonate.stop');
```
