Could it be that php artisan ciphersweet:encrypt does not use the Custom Key Provider?

[lucidlemon]

I got my ciphersweet running for new records etc, encrypting and decrypting works fine.
Now I want to use the php artisan ciphersweet:encrypt command to encrypt old data, but it seems to fail at all times. The encryption runs through, but when I try to access the data I get a "invalid ciphertext".

I now dumped the $newRow within the command and say that the provider is not my custom one but instead the original ParagonIE\CipherSweet\KeyProvider\StringProvider?

My Custom Key Provider looks like this:

namespace App\Encryption;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache;
use ParagonIE\CipherSweet\Backend\Key\SymmetricKey;
use ParagonIE\CipherSweet\Contract\KeyProviderInterface;

class CustomKeyProvider implements KeyProviderInterface
{
    public function getSymmetricKey(): SymmetricKey
    {
        $key = Cache::get("encryption_key");

        dump("custom key provider loaded");

        return new SymmetricKey($key);
}
