`null` file created on install

PHP Version

8.4

System Info

PhpStorm 2025.2 on Windows 11 with Herd 1.22

Description

There is a null file that is created at the root of the project. I doubt it is supposed to be the .ai folder with its subfolders and files.

Steps To Reproduce

composer require laravel/boost --dev
php artisan boost:install

I chose these options: mcp_server, ai_guidelines, herd_mcp, PhpStorm, Junie.

No errors shown.

Don't think so. My file is empty, and I don't use Claude.

Same problem here, but with VS Code

Does this still happen after composer update laravel/boost @alanfeugenio @RiadhKHEDHIRI @andreicrf ?

Hey @ashleyhindle, unfortunately, the problem persists.
Also, I've noticed that the null file is being created the moment php artisan boost:install is executed, even before any option is selected.
