• Implement pagination/filtering; optimize Eloquent queries.
• Externalize API base URL and build app flavors (dev/stage/prod); add env management.
• Set up CORS & security headers; verify CSRF scopes for web vs API.
• Fix media handling (uploads, storage URLs) and admin CRUD edge cases.
• Add minimal test coverage (PHPUnit for API; Flutter widget/integration for critical screens).
• Establish CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI): PHP static checks, tests, Flutter build lanes.
• Prepare store-ready builds (signing, versioning, changelogs) and monitoring (Sentry/Crashlytics).
• Write tech handover docs and a lightweight runbook.
