When `zlib.output_compression` is enabled in PHP, the child process appends gzip-compressed binary data (magic bytes \x1f\x8b) to stdout after the serialized JSON payload. This corrupts `json_decode`, which returns null and triggers an "array offset on null" error on the parent side. Detect the gzip magic bytes in the child process output and truncate before decoding. This is non-intrusive — no configuration changes are required from the user, and unaffected environments see zero behavior change. Fixes laravel#59112
