Summary
ColdBox relied on missing struct keys evaluating like null in a number of lazy-initialization and optional-input paths. Full-null runtimes instead omit those keys, so direct access raised undefined-element errors while Quick's expanded full-null matrix initialized ColdBox and ran application requests.
This change makes those paths explicitly key-aware across framework lifecycle, LogBox, CacheBox, WireBox, rendering, routing, REST, async tasks, and testing helpers. It also makes HTTP Last-Modified comparison use the RFC 1123 GMT instant so Adobe and Lucee agree.
Supports coldbox-modules/quick#154 and coldbox-modules/quick#312.
Regression coverage
The regressions exercise public APIs rather than implementation details:
Before the source fix, the Adobe endpoint failed with Element JAVASYSTEM is undefined. Additional full-suite failures exposed the other missing-key paths and were retained as fixes until the complete matrix was clean.
Validation
Local ColdBox validation used the TestBox full-null corrections proposed in Ortus-Solutions/TestBox#200. The self-contained Adobe endpoint added here does not depend on that PR and is included directly in CI.
