 == Test Report

 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9747

 === Steps to Reproduce or Test
 1. Open http://localhost:8889/wp-settings.php directly in a browser. (Or
 open https://YOURSITE.com/wp-settings.php on a live site.)
 2. 🐞 Bug occurs. It returned 500 Internal Server Error.

 === Expected Results
 When testing a patch to validate it works as expected:
 - ✅ WordPress site should die( '-1' ) just like other core files.

 When reproducing a bug:
 - ❌ Error condition occurs. It returned 500 Internal Server Error.

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.8.2
 - PHP: 8.4.10
 - Server: nginx/1.26.1
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.0.35 / Client: mysqlnd 8.4.10)
 - Browser: Chrome 140.0.0.0
 - OS: Windows 10/11
 - Theme: ModernPress 1.0.0
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.0

 ==== Actual Results
 When reproducing a bug/defect:
 - ❌ Directly accessing `wp-settings.php` file, it returned 500 Internal
 Server Error.

 When testing the bugfix patch:
 - ✅ Issue resolved with patch. Direct access correctly triggers a die(
 '-1' ) message.
