/healthy request responds http 200 even some checks failing

Problem

The endpoint /healthy responds HTTP 200 even some checks failing.

How to simulate

• into a empty laravel 10 project install some 4.x version

• config checks to just use directory checker putting following file into ./config directory
  health-checker.zip

• change directory permission in the way current user could not write there.

• serve using ./artisan serve

• make a request into http://{your_hostname}/healty

the return seems a HTTP 200 with following body:

{
  "status": {
    "code": 200,
    "message": "OK"
  },
  "health_status": {
    "directory-permission": {
      "is_healthful": false,
      "message": "The directory laravel-10/public/storage/ is not writable."
    }
  }
}

Problem found

The problem seems to be into the src/Http/Controllers/HealthCheckerController.php file, where the controller gets checking results but does not do any validation using returned objects. In other hand the file comandline interface does this kind of validation.
