Symlinked config.json is not longer readable

Interesting I'm not sure when it triggers into this error as I try create tmp projects in /tmp composer works fine but inside my normal working dir /Users/alexanderschranz/Documents/Projects/ stopped to working.

My `composer.json`:

When running inside /tmp it works and output:

When I run this command:

composer <command>

I get the following output:

  The file "/Users/alexanderschranz/.composer/config.json" is not readable.

Commands in /tmp dir works or without symlinked config.json:

Symlink:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 alexanderschranz  staff    63B 27 Sep 13:50 config.json@ -> /Users/alexanderschranz/Documents/dotfiles/composer/config.json

Config.json:

-rw-r--r--   1 alexanderschranz  staff   329B 17 Aug  2022 config.json

When my config.json is not longer a symlink it works again.

And I expected this to happen:

Happening since I updated to 2.7.9 did a rollback then to 2.7.7 but happening again so not 100% if its really upgrade problem.
