Laravel package trait not found

I'm developing a package and added a "Traits" dir to my PSR-4 structure and this is reflected in the package's composer.json.

{
    "name": "my-private-repo/prefs",
    "description": "Preferences package.",
    "type": "package",
    "keywords": [
        "prefs",
        "preferences"
    ],
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.5.9",
        "illuminate/support": "5.2.*",
        "laravelcollective/html": "5.2.*",
        "anahkiasen/former": "~4"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "src/controllers",
            "src/models"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "MyPrivateRepo\\Prefs\\": "src/"
        },
        "files": [
            "src/Prefs/helpers.php"
        ]
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true
}

Within the src/ dir is this structure:

Prefs/
    Traits/
        HasPrefs.php
    Prefs.php
    PrefsServiceProvider.php
    helpers.php

Here is the contents of HasPrefs.php:

namespace MyPrivateRepo\Prefs\Traits;

use MyPrivateRepo\Prefs\Prefs;

trait HasPrefs
{
    public function prefs($key = null, $value = null)
    {
        //...do pref related stuff here...
    }
}

I've loaded the private project up and everything was working great when calling the Prefs class directly. Then I decided to test adding HasPrefs trait to my User model:

namespace App;

use Cartalyst\Sentinel\Users\EloquentUser;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\Authorizable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Access\Authorizable as AuthorizableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;
use MyPrivateRepo\Prefs\Traits\HasPrefs;

class User extends EloquentUser implements
    AuthenticatableContract,
    AuthorizableContract,
    CanResetPasswordContract
{
    use SoftDeletes,
        Authenticatable,
        Authorizable,
        HasPrefs,
        CanResetPassword;

    //...do lots of user related stuff here...
}

Now, every time I try to do anything, I'm given this error:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Trait 'MyPrivateRepo\Prefs\Traits\HasPrefs' not found

I then did composer update but got the same error as above when it reaches the scripts section that runs php artisan optimize.

I commented out the references to HasPrefs in User and re-ran artisan optimize which worked without issue.

Uncommented HasPrefs and all is working as expected with no errors...until the next time I need to run composer update again on the project. Then, I am right back to having to comment out references to HasPrefs again and manually run artisan optimize.

Given that this is something that needs to be deployed to a production server, I can't be manually editing every file that uses this trait every time there is a composer update or composer install triggered by an auto-deploy.

I've tried the following to resolve this to no success:

All it takes is a single call to composer update to break it all over again if any of the above temporarily fixed the issue.

Any ideas what is wrong here?

As you can see here:

"psr-4": {
    "MyPrivateRepo\\Prefs\\": "src/"
},

You point src dir as MyPrivateRepo\Prefs namespace. So when you want to use this trait in the dir named Traits your namespace should go like:

MyPrivateRepo\Prefs\Prefs\Traits

because you have a Prefs also, so your use statement in this trait will looks like:

 use MyPrivateRepo\Prefs\Prefs\Prefs;

My advice is to change the composer's entry for:

"psr-4": {
    "MyPrivateRepo\\": "src/"
},
