Formatting of local.file in format function does not return the string contents

[ResuBaka]

What's wrong?

When you try to use the format function to crate a new string and one of the arguments is the contents of the local.file you get something like this back {%!s(bool=false) contents_of_the_file}:15692 when you use format("%s:%s", local.file.file.content, "15692"). This does not happen when you use for example join to combine both strings.

Steps to reproduce

Crate a alloy config which locks something like this as added below.
