Description

Hi, I noticed that when I register an observers with the ObservedBy attribute is not tracked by event:list command while via observe method in an AppServiceProvider this is appropriately tracked.

Steps To Reproduce

• Create a model with an Observer
• Run php artisan event:list command
• Check the different behavior based on the register mode

The issue occurs because PHP attributes like ObservedBy are inspected at runtime. Observers registered using attributes are resolved only when the corresponding model is bootstrapped. However, the php artisan event:list command does not bootstrap models, so their observers are not resolved, and related events do not appear in the list.

To include these in php artisan event:list, a mechanism is needed to discover and bootstrap all models in the application. This could be achieved by:

• Automatically scanning directories (e.g., app/Models) to locate all model classes.
• Explicitly defining a model registry (e.g., in a models.php config file).

I also noticed in this discuss #53607 another behavior that differs.

Yeah. Same issue. Adding new trait in a model wont make any effect until the model is bootstrapped.
