+**Binding concrete instances:** Use `$app->instance($name, $obj)` to bind a specific object by key. Instances take precedence over bindings when resolving.
+
+**Auto-wiring:** Use `$app->make(SomeClass::class)` to resolve a class with its constructor dependencies injected automatically:
+
+```php
+$repo = $app->make(EmployeeRepository::class);
+// $app checks bindings first, then instantiates the class and resolves its constructor
+```
+
+**Test isolation:** Call `$app->clear()` to reset all bindings and instances between test runs.
+
 Do not call `Request::capture()` inside action bodies. Declare the parameter instead.
