New Feature: Data Anonymization in Laravel DB Sync

Syncing production data to local/staging just got safer!

Now you can automatically anonymize sensitive user data during sync with a single flag.

php artisan db:production-sync --anonymize

How it works: 

✅ Opt-in only (off by default) 

✅ Configure which tables/columns to anonymize 

✅ Uses Faker for realistic test data

✅ Runs automatically after import

Simple config:

'anonymize' => [
    'users' => [
        'email' => 'safeEmail',
        'name' => 'name',
        'phone' => 'phoneNumber',
        'password' => 'bcrypt:password',
    ],
],

Perfect for teams that need production data structures without exposing real customer information.
