Worked on enhancing URL handling in the laravel/framework repository by updating the URI decoding logic to preserve the fragment part of the URI during query string decoding. This targeted feature addressed edge-case routing and URL generation issues, ensuring that fragment information is retained throughout the decoding process. The implementation involved modifying PHP back end code and introducing a dedicated unit test to verify the new behavior, with all changes fully covered by tests. The update was carefully scoped to avoid altering the API surface, resulting in a low-risk, maintainable improvement that strengthens reliability in PHP-based routing and URL management workflows.
