Gate::allows() returns true although it always returns false

[lavish mirage]

Hi, I have set up a Gate

Gate::define('gate-handle', function () {
    return false;
});

but when checking it in Controller, I always get true returned:

dd(Gate::allows('gate-handle'));

dump: true

Is there anything Im missing out? Thanks!

Perhaps you have a Gate::before() registered? https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/authorization#intercepting-gate-checks
