Research direction
The issue is in the `schedule:work` command, likely defined in `Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\ScheduleWorkCommand`. The command executes `php artisan schedule:run` without using the absolute path to the artisan file. To fix, you need to resolve the full path to artisan (e.g., using `$ SERVER['argv'][0]` or `base path('artisan')`) and pass that instead of just 'artisan'. Check the source code at `src/Illuminate/Console/Scheduling/ScheduleWorkCommand.php` for the exact implementation.
