Description

Similar to the autoconfig report, it would be very helpful to print the output of the Environment actuator when the debug flag is set.

This would help to debug failures related to invalid or missing properties, particularly in a setup where properties come from dynamic sources such as the Spring Cloud Config Server.

Research direction

Start by comparing how the debug flag triggers the autoconfig report with how the Environment actuator produces its output. Trace the relevant Spring Boot entry points and tests, then verify that enabling -Ddebug=true includes the Environment report and that the output helps diagnose missing or invalid properties.
