…owser contexts The exception renderer includes a ~474KB inline SVG (rendered twice, ~970KB total) as a decorative ASCII art element. When running tests with constrained memory (memory_limit=128M), rendering this SVG during error page generation can cause memory exhaustion, masking the original exception. This change adds a shouldIncludeDecorations() method to the Renderer class that skips the decorative SVG in test and console contexts where it serves no purpose, while preserving the full visual error page for browser rendering.

The exception renderer includes a ~474KB inline SVG as a decorative ASCII art element at the bottom of the error page. The
laravel-ascii-spotlightcomponent renders this SVG twice (~970KB total) for the spotlight mouse-follow effect.When running tests with constrained memory (
memory_limit=128M), rendering this SVG during error page generation can cause memory exhaustion - masking the original exception with a confusing "Allowed memory size exhausted" error.This change adds a
shouldIncludeDecorations()method to theRendererclass that skips the decorative SVG in test and console contexts where it serves no purpose, while preserving the full visual error page for browser rendering.Fixes #58560
