Version 10.69 extends RPS lead from 107% to 116% for Maravel vs Lumen and patches validation

The speed increase is due to merging all cached files into one.

The 116% RPS increase is compared to Lumen 10 which has no cached files.

Version 10.69.2 patches corner cases in Validation:
A rule that throws exception will be marked as failed and it will act as Bail.While not strictly "Implicit", Numeric, Array, Boolean, String, Integer, and Decimal rules are treated with the same priority as implicit rules regarding the validation lifecycle. Once one of these core type expectations fails, the validator considers the attribute's state "unusable" and halts further validation for that specific field. That is why you should always precede rules that need a certain type with one of the above rules.

Furthermore, any rule that throws a Throwable will trigger an automatic Bail, isolating the failure to prevent system-wide crashes.
