At application boot time, Laravel loads configuration by scanning only the PHP files located directly within the config/ directory, using a non‑recursive approach. Subdirectories inside config/—including symlinked directories—are not traversed, so any configuration files within them are ignored. Consequently, configuration files take effect only when they exist (or are symlinked as files) directly under config/, and no precedence or override behavior is applied based on directory structure or naming.
