Description
So the issue is well explained here
init_by_lua is no longer run in Nginx config test??
I need this feature as well and I consider it to be very important for guaranteeing stability during Nginx reloads.
Here are some suggestions to be considered.
- Making running init_by_lua during "nginx -t" conditional by a directive
- Adding a new phase like config_test_by_lua therefore seperating it from init_by_lua, so resolving the reason why this feature was removed in the first place.

Research direction
Start with the linked discussion and the module's existing init_by_lua handling during nginx -t. Compare the conditional directive and config_test_by_lua proposals, including why the behavior was removed. Done means an agreed design and implementation that reliably covers Nginx reload validation.
