Frontend Is Laravel Mix, Not Vite

• Assets are built with Laravel Mix (webpack) via webpack.mix.js. This project has no vite.config.js and no Vite manifest.
• There is no npm run build script. Ignore any generic guidance that tells you to run it. Use:
  • npm run dev — development build
  • npm run watch — rebuild on change
  • npm run prod — production build
• If the user doesn't see a frontend change, ask them to run npm run dev or npm run watch.

UI Layer

• AdminLTE 2 / Bootstrap 3 Blade views. There is no Inertia.
• Livewire v4 is installed and used for discrete widgets in app/Livewire (e.g. Importer, CustomFieldEditor, LdapSettings). It is not the primary UI layer.
• Default to a Blade view plus a standard controller. Only reach for Livewire when extending an existing Livewire component or when the user asks for it.

Charts

• Chart.js v2.9.4, bundled at public/js/dist/Chart.min.js.
• Use the v2 API, not v3. For example, the chart type is horizontalBar (v3 removed it in favor of indexAxis).
• Use Helper::defaultChartColors() for the 10-color palette.
