Debugging and hitting a black box?
It happens often with frameworks: you follow the code, everything is fine, then suddenly... vendor/. No more visibility, you have to guess what happens inside, and it can be frustrating when you are learning.

Have you ever read your framework's code?
Not the documentation. The code. The one that actually runs in your project.
If you use a "classic" framework, that code is hidden somewhere in vendor/. Abstract, distant, untouchable. When a new version ships with a breaking change, you deal with it. When a behavior does not suit you, you work around it. When you want to understand what is really going on, good luck.
