 == Patch Testing Report

 Patch Tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10579/

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.7 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Opera
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-One 2.7
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Code Snippets 3.9.4
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken
 1. Add the following code via Code Snippets or functions.php to "trigger"
 a fatal error


 {{{
 add_action( 'init', function () {
         non_existing_function();
 } );
 }}}

 2. View frontend and check document headers using Chrome Dev Tools
 3. Confirm 200 OK Status code
 4. Apply patch
 5. Refresh the homepage and check document headers again
 6. ❌ Patch is failing. It's still displaying the 200 OK status code.

 === Expected result
 - We are expecting to see HTTP 500 status code when an internal server
 error occurs
