The Solution is use Newtonsoft.Json instead System.Text.Json in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-dotnet/blob/main/sdk/Pulumi/Config.cs

Expected Behavior

Read an integer from config

Steps to reproduce

Give config with integer value

Hi Lee, could you provide a concrete program that demonstrates this issue? It would help me rule out user error and quickly get to the bottom of the issue. You may be reading the number into a string value. For example, are you calling Config.Get or Config.GetInt32? 🙏🏻 Thank you very much! I appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention!
