onBootstrap not called for CLI commands

It is a replacement, but with a different approach. laminas-console and laminas-mvc-console are abandoned and should no longer be used for new developments.

No, laminas-view and there helpers does not need Laminas\Mvc\MvcEvent.

This will not help for the future.

You marked my last answer as solution but it does not work for you.
It would be helpful if you could describe your use case, to find a correct solution. And it would help to improve laminas-cli.

The work on laminas-cli will continue and use cases like yours are needed! And if this forum post leads to a new feature request, then that’s good.
