[13.x] Boot managed queues before service providers boot

[kieranbrown]

Summary

Cloud::bootManagedQueues() registers the cloud queue connector ($app['queue']->addConnector('cloud', ...)) and rebinds queue.failer. It's currently hooked to the bootstrapperBootstrapped: BootProviders::class event, which fires after BootProviders::bootstrap() returns — i.e. after every service provider's boot() has already run.

Any application service provider whose boot() touches the queue manager via the facade blows up under QUEUE_CONNECTION=cloud. For example:

class QueueServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot(): void
    {
        Queue::createPayloadUsing(function ($connection, $queue, $payload) {
            // ...
        });
    }
}

Queue::createPayloadUsing(...) proxies through QueueManager::__call → $this->connection() → resolves the default queue connection. With QUEUE_CONNECTION=cloud, that fails with The [cloud] queue connection has not been configured because the connector hasn't been registered yet.

Reproduction in a Cloud environment:

QUEUE_CONNECTION=cloud php artisan package:discover --ansi

Fix

Move bootManagedQueues() from bootstrapperBootstrapped: BootProviders::class to bootstrapperBootstrapping: BootProviders::class. This places it after RegisterProviders finishes (so queue / queue.failer are bound) but before any user provider's boot() runs.

While here, refactor the early-return guard. The previous $_SERVER['LARAVEL_CLOUD_MANAGED_QUEUES'] check overlapped with the env-driven config configureManagedQueues() already populates. Derive intent from observable state instead: only register the cloud connector when queue.connections.cloud.driver === 'cloud'. The outer laravel_cloud() gate in Application::registerLaravelCloudServices() already prevents these hooks from firing off-Cloud, so the duplicate environment check inside bootManagedQueues is redundant.

Test plan

• tests/Foundation/Cloud/QueueTest.php — 36/36 pass
• Existing testItDoesNotRegisterCloudConnectorWhenManagedQueuesIsInactive reworked into two tests covering the new conditions: missing queue.connections.cloud block, and driver !== 'cloud'
• Verified locally against a Laravel 13 app: LARAVEL_CLOUD=1 LARAVEL_CLOUD_MANAGED_QUEUES=1 LARAVEL_CLOUD_MANAGED_QUEUES_CONFIG=... QUEUE_CONNECTION=cloud php artisan package:discover --ansi now succeeds where it previously threw
