LARAVEL 13 DETACHES QUEUES FROM SQS, ROUTES THROUGH CLOUD AGENT

Laravel Cloud's managed queue system now intercepts job processing entirely, popping from an in-container agent instead of SQS directly, shifting visibility and deletion logic into the platform layer.

The framework's queue dispatcher now routes through Laravel Cloud's managed-queue agent when enabled, using a unix-socket runtime API instead of hitting SQS directly [1]. The cloud agent long-polls SQS and owns terminal operations; your worker just processes and reports outcomes back. This is infrastructure consolidation that matters if you're running on Cloud: simpler worker logic, unified job lifecycle management, and one less place your code needs SQS permissions. Meanwhile, the string utilities are getting nicer [2]: the new `counted()` method solves the annoying pattern of prepending counts to pluralized strings without storing variables twice. Collections are also getting `reduceInto()` [3], a mutation-based reduce that reads cleaner than accumulating and returning in traditional reduce patterns. These are quality-of-life wins, not breaking changes. Dusk's action workflow got a minor bump [4] but nothing that impacts your test suites.

Action items

→ If you're on Laravel Cloud with managed queues enabled, verify your workers are picking up the new agent-routed pop logic in 13.x laravel/framework [plan]
→ Audit queue job deletion and visibility timeout handling if you've customized SqsQueue behavior laravel/framework [monitor]
→ Refactor pluralization patterns using the new `counted()` method in string utilities laravel/framework [monitor]
