VS Code Intelephense shows "Undefined method" on custom Eloquent relationship after Auth::user()

Problem Description

I am using Laravel 13 and Visual Studio Code with the PHP Intelephense extension. I have defined a HasMany relationship in my User model called task().

However, when I try to call this method via the Auth facade, my IDE marks it as an undefined method. If I try to change the syntax, the error often shifts to the user() method itself.

My Code

App\Models\User.php:

namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; // ... other imports #[Fillable(['name', 'email', 'password'])] class User extends Authenticatable { // ... factory and casts public function task(): HasMany { return $this->hasMany(Task::class); } }

Livewire/TaskList.php

// This line shows "Undefined method 'task'" in VS Code Auth::user()->task()->create([ 'title' => $this->title, ]);

What I have tried:

Verified that the task() method exists in the User model.

Ensured use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth; is imported.

Tried using the auth() helper instead of the Facade, but the IDE still doesn't recognize the custom relationship method.

Refreshed the Intelephense index.

Environment:

Laravel 13

PHP 8.2

VS Code with PHP Intelephense

OS: Ubuntu

How can I make the IDE recognize that Auth::user() returns my specific App\Models\User model instead of the generic Authenticatable class?
