laravel-official/nightwatch
===========================

[](#laravel-officialnightwatch)

See:

> ## ⚠️ Disclaimer — Demonstration package
>
> [](#️-disclaimer--demonstration-package)
>
> This is a **demonstration / placeholder package** created for **educational and security-awareness purposes only**.
>
> It is **NOT** affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with **Laravel**, **Laravel Nightwatch**, the Laravel team, or Taylor Otwell in any way.
>
> The `laravel-official/nightwatch` name is intentionally official-looking to illustrate how convincing vendor and package names can be registered on public registries such as [Packagist](https://packagist.org). It exists to raise awareness of typosquatting and software supply-chain risks — please do not mistake it for a real Laravel product.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

**Nothing.** This package is intentionally inert: it ships no functional code and registers no Composer scripts or plugins, so installing it executes nothing on your machine. It exists purely as a companion artifact to a blog post about software supply-chain and typosquatting risks.

> **Why it's inert:** Even setting aside that this package declares no scripts, Composer only runs a package's `scripts` for the **root** project — a *dependency's* scripts never execute on the consumer's machine. Getting a dependency to auto-run code at install time would require a Composer *plugin*(`type: composer-plugin`), which this package deliberately does **not** ship.
