Does Lumen provide a global configuration for SSL certificate verification in outbound requests?

SSL Verification in Outbound HTTP Requests

Lumen typically relies on Guzzle or PHP's native stream contexts to handle outbound HTTP requests. While Guzzle verifies peers against the system CA bundle by default, there is no apparent global configuration within the Lumen framework to manage these settings across the entire application.

Currently, developers must define the verify option on a per-request basis or implement a custom service provider to inject a configured HTTP client. This creates a design gap regarding environment-specific behavior, particularly when switching between local development environments with self-signed certificates and production environments with strict CA requirements.

Which mechanism is recommended for ensuring consistent SSL verification defaults based on the APP_ENV variable without manually repeating the configuration in every request?
