Where a Pulsar type belongs

After the app/Pulsar boundary decision, place each governed type in a Service Module, Domain, or Infrastructure area; keep Laravel-owned seams in their stock locations. The complete table is the normative placement source, and the resolver only selects from it.

For “where does this class go” and “Pulsar placement” questions, use this table before inventing a directory.

Start after the boundary question

The architecture boundary answers whether a type participates in a Pulsar dependency edge. This page starts after that answer. A Service is audience delivery, a Module is a feature slice within that Service, a Domain is a shared capability, and Infrastructure is a concrete outbound Adapter area.

Choose the next placement after the app/Pulsar boundary. The decision tree orients a placement decision; the complete static table remains normative for exact types and exceptions.

Interpretation. The tree is a navigational map after the boundary decision. It directs delivery to a Service Module, shared capability to Domain, and a concrete Contract implementation to Infrastructure; use the complete table for exact records and stock-Laravel exits.

Keep Laravel-owned seams in Laravel

bootstrap/app.php, bootstrap/providers.php, the application PulsarServiceProvider, config, stock routes, database, and tests remain Laravel-owned. Generated providers and Service providers need explicit Laravel registration; this page names their location but does not define later bootstrap mechanics.

Middleware, casts, and observers have no current Pulsar generator or prescribed app/Pulsar home. Keep the relevant Laravel convention, then apply the dependency rules to any Pulsar call. These rows are review-only; they do not establish an Extensions namespace or a Command.

Treat the static table as the fallback

The complete table is server-rendered and remains available without JavaScript. The resolver cannot add, hide, or alter rows: an unmatched pair reports no result while the same static table remains available for review.
