Sentry before_send callback not executed after running "php artisan optimize"

[duykb2015]

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry SaaS (sentry.io)

SDK version

Laravel SDK Version 4.19.0 PHP SDK Version 4.18.1

Laravel version

11.46.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Laravel and Sentry
   composer require sentry/sentry-laravel

2. Set a non-closure callback for before_send in config/sentry.php
   'before_send' => ['App\Helpers\Sentry', 'beforeCall']

3. Create the callback class with strict type hints

<?php

namespace App\Helpers;

class Sentry
{
    /**
     * Create a new class instance.
     */
    public static function beforeCall(?\Sentry\Event $event, ?\Sentry\EventHint $hint): ?\Sentry\Event
    {
        dd(1);
        if ($hint === null) {
            return $event;
        }

        if (!isset($hint->exception) || !method_exists($hint->exception, 'getTrace')) {
            return $event;
        }

        $isJob = false;
        foreach ($hint->exception->getTrace() as $trace) {
            $isJob = isset($trace['class']) && str_contains($trace['class'], 'App\\Jobs\\');
            if ($isJob) {
                break;
            }
        }

        // If it's a job, sample ~10%
        if ($isJob && mt_rand(1, 100) > env('SENTRY_JOB_SAMPLE_RATE', 0.1) * 100) {
            return null;
        }

        return $event;
    }
}

4. Trigger any exception
   → Sentry receives the event correctly.

5. Run Laravel optimization
   php artisan optimize

6. Trigger the same exception again
   → Sentry does not send the event anymore.
   → The before_send callback is silently skipped.
   (bypasses the beforeCall callback at step 4 and shows the exception directly)

7. Clear optimization
   php artisan optimize:clear
   → Sentry starts working normally again.

Expected result

The before_send callback should execute normally even when configuration is cached.
Running php artisan optimize should not disable or bypass the callback.

Actual result

After running php artisan optimize, the callback is not executed.
No events are sent to Sentry.
Clearing the optimization cache restores normal behavior.

 ❯ php artisan tinker --execute='echo var_dump(config("sentry.before_send"))'
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(38) "App\Exceptions\Sentry"
  [1]=>
  string(6) "before"
}

 ❯ php artisan config:cache

   INFO  Configuration cached successfully.  

 ❯ php artisan tinker --execute='echo var_dump(config("sentry.before_send"))'
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(38) "App\Exceptions\Sentry"
  [1]=>
  string(6) "before"
}

Can you also try to run php artisan tinker --execute='echo var_dump(config("sentry.before_send"))' before and after caching the config? I have never seen this happen before.
