Add Laravel Truss for live schema diagrams.

Install albertoarena/laravel-truss as a local-only tool so /truss and the optional Truss MCP server can inspect structure without exposing row data.

## Schema viewer (Laravel Truss)
[Laravel Truss](https://github.com/albertoarena/laravel-truss) is installed as a **dev** dependency. In `local`, open:
```
/truss
```
It shows a live ER diagram of your schema (structure only, never row data). Optional agent MCP:
```bash
php artisan mcp:start truss
```

| Theme
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Truss ships a light and dark "blueprint" theme. To match the app Truss is
| embedded in, redefine its colours and fonts here. Everything is optional:
| only the knobs you set are overridden, the rest stay on the default, so a
| handful of values re-skins the whole dashboard (chrome and diagram) in both
| light and dark. Config driven, no build step.
|
| It is delivered as a same-origin stylesheet, so a strict CSP still needs
| only style-src 'self' (no inline styles). Each value is validated before it
| is emitted; an invalid value is ignored and falls back to the default.
|
| Colours accept hex, rgb()/rgba()/hsl()/hsla(), or a CSS colour keyword.
| Fonts are family names only: name a font your app already loads or a system
| font (Truss serves no font files here). Set a knob under both 'light' and
| 'dark' to theme both modes; omit 'dark' to theme light only.
|
| Colour knobs and what each paints:
| accent primary accent: headings, PK badges, entity borders, focus ring
| accent-secondary secondary accent
| background the canvas / page background (and relationship-label backdrop)
| surface panels, table bodies, rows, and inputs
| surface-alt row striping
| text body and diagram text
| muted secondary text and the relationship lines / labels
| border table, panel, and field lines

| cache because it cannot be rebuilt from the live database once a migration
| has run.

| `enabled`: master switch. When false, no baseline is captured, nothing is
| written to disk, the "Changes" toggle is hidden, and `truss:diff` reports the
| feature is off. Set it false if you do not want Truss touching your disk.
|
| `disk`: the filesystem disk the baseline is written to, `local` by default.
| The path is always `truss/baselines/{connection}`. This deliberately does not
| follow the application's default disk: the baseline is derived tooling state,
| not application data, so it should not land in a production bucket, cost
| money, or have several instances racing on one object. A failure to read or
| write it is never fatal; the diff is simply unavailable until it recovers.

| exclude: extra tables to skip, on top of truss.excluded_tables.
