[Unreleased]

Added

• Support for Laravel 13.
• Ability to skip validation via skipValidation(), saveWithoutValidation(), and the static withoutValidation() callback helper (#12).
• validateOnUpdating() helper to validate on the updating model event.
• modelValidator() accessor and ModelValidator::makeValidator() for building the underlying validator instance.
• Test suite (PHPUnit + Orchestra Testbench) and a GitHub Actions matrix covering PHP 8.2–8.4 and Laravel 12–13.
• Code style enforced with Laravel Pint (composer lint / composer format) and checked in CI.
• Community health files: CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, a pull request template, and refreshed issue templates.

Changed

• BREAKING: Minimum requirements are now PHP 8.2 and Laravel 12.
• Depend on the individual illuminate/* components instead of the full laravel/framework package.
• Rewrote ModelValidator and ValidatorTrait with strict types, constructor property promotion, and typed signatures. validate() now returns the validated data.

Removed

• Support for Laravel 11 and earlier (end-of-life).
