Step 5 about Sanctum is exactly what I needed. Token-based auth for SPA + API in one setup is genius.

Could you also write about API versioning strategies? I always struggle with maintaining backward compatibility when the API evolves.

Great suggestion! We're planning an article on API versioning (URL prefix vs headers vs query params). Stay tuned!
