 - `Connection::select()` signature updated with `$fetchUsing` parameter (Laravel 13 compatibility)
-- Laravel compatibility layer dispatchers use `>= 12` (L13 shares L12's connection/schema patterns)
-- Version gate updated: `Helpers::getLaravelCompatabilityVersion()` now accepts 11, 12, 13
 - CI matrix updated: PHP 8.3/8.4, Laravel 11/12/13
 
+### Refactored
+
+- Collapsed Laravel version compatibility layer from 12 files (4 dispatchers + 4 v11 traits + 4 v12 traits) into 4 self-contained traits. Version checks now happen inside each method with spread operators for different constructor signatures — no more file-level conditional trait loading. Removed phpstan bootstrap `class_alias` hacks that were needed for the old pattern.
