Laravel’s safety mechanisms

This post details how Laravel's Eloquent ORM provides built-in safety mechanisms to prevent common development mistakes. It specifically covers N+1 prevention by disabling lazy loading and recommending eager loading, partially hydrated model protection by preventing access to missing attributes, attribute typo and renamed column detection, mass assignment protection, model strictness, polymorphic mapping enforcement, and long-running event monitoring. The primary recommendation is to enable `Model::preventLazyLoading()` and `Model::preventAccessingMissingAttributes()` in production environments to catch these issues explicitly rather than silently failing.
