Comment (by johnbillion):
I think we should keep this ticket focused. I'd also like to see more
verbose output from wp-cron.php but that should happen in a separate
ticket.
One complication is that the call to
`fastcgi_finish_request()`/`litespeed_finish_request()` that runs prior to
wp-load.php being loaded, and therefore prior to when a new constant or
filter value can be checked. This means outputting a 403 etc won't be
possible without jiggling some of that logic around.
