When deploying my Laravel application, the process failed due to a missing PHP extension (bcmath).

Including the most commonly used PHP extensions by default—similar to Laravel Forge and Laravel Cloud—would reduce friction and prevent these types of errors. 

While a nice-to-have, this improvement would make the deployment experience smoother and more beginner-friendly.
