Description

When running php artisan schedule:run, an ErrorException: Undefined variable $result is thrown in Container.php. The error occurs in the following code path:

if ($this->resolved($abstract)) {
    $this->rebound($abstract);
}

return $result;  // <-- $result is undefined

It appears that $result is being returned without being defined in certain code paths within the Container class.

Steps To Reproduce

Run php artisan schedule:run (the exact trigger may vary) The error is thrown from Illuminate\Container\Container.php

Stack Trace:
ErrorException: Undefined variable $result

  in Illuminate\Foundation\Bootstrap\HandleExceptions::handleError
Environment

Expected Behavior The container method should properly initialize and return $result in all code paths without throwing an undefined variable error. Additional Context This error was captured in production via error monitoring. The breadcrumbs show:
