I’m not qualified for this, but I have to refactor 2 years of Laravel chaos — what should I read?

I joined my startup 2yrs ago as an "AI engineer". For necessity, I became a full time Laravel swe working on a codebase that makes me want to punch my pc every time I need to implement a new feature on legacy files.
That said just to give you some context to highlight how little competencies I have to do this task, but it seems that I will be the only one that seem to care about this.
Do you have any book suggestion to read before entering this dungeon?

I'm going to assume you have a basic grasp on Laravel so have this instead, was recommended this myself (Working effectively with legacy code by Michael Feathers) some years ago: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/working-effectively-with/0131177052/

If laravel itself is the issue, read Laravel up and running (IDK which edition it's up to now)
