Does any Foundry Chad know why msg.sender sometimes is the DefaultSender and sometimes the default anvil address when not passing a private key or using cast wallet? Would have saved me 2 days to just use cast wallet for all transactions instead of figuring out the defaults when testing. Would love for that to be in the foundry docs and never see raw commands without --account or the default accounts private key as --private-key

forge script and cast have different defaults for who sends a transaction if you don’t explicitly specify a sender. If you don't set --private-key or use cast wallet, cast defaults to the first Anvil account, while forge script often uses a placeholder called DefaultSender unless you manually prank a sender. That mismatch can cause msg.sender to behave unexpectedly, especially in scripts.
