Add Carbonite for time manipulation in tests

[thinkstylestudio]

Summary

Adds kylekatarnls/carbonite as a dev dependency so tests can freeze, accelerate, decelerate, and elapse time using Carbon.

Closes #10.

Changes

• Install kylekatarnls/carbonite ^2.0 (dev)
• Enable BespinTimeMocking for Feature and Unit tests so each test resets the timeline automatically
• Add Pest helpers fakeAsync() and tick() (Carbonite’s Angular-style testing pattern)
• Add unit tests covering freeze, accelerate, decelerate, elapse, speed, and tick

Usage

use Carbon\Carbon;
use Carbon\Carbonite;

Carbonite::freeze('2024-01-01');
Carbonite::elapse('1 week');

expect(Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d'))->toBe('2024-01-08');

Carbonite::accelerate(2);  // time passes twice as fast
Carbonite::decelerate(2);  // time passes half as fast

Or with Pest helpers:

fakeAsync(function () {
    $now = Carbon::now();
    tick(2000);
    expect($now->diffForHumans())->toBe('2 seconds ago');
});

Test plan

• php artisan test tests/Unit/CarboniteTest.php
