PHP 8.5 | Fatal error on installing from artifact in CI

My `composer.json`:

```json
{
    "name": "jrfnl/composer-issue-12471",
    "require-dev": {
        "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "^3.13",
        "dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer": "*"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "artifact",
            "url": "./artifact/"
        }
    ],
    "config": {
        "allow-plugins": {
            "dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer": true
        },
        "lock": false
    }
}
```

... with an artifact for the `dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer` package.


For a minimal reproduction code sample, please check out: https://github.com/jrfnl/bug-report-reproduction-scenarios/tree/php-8.5/composer-with-artifact.


When I run this command on **PHP 8.5**:

```
composer install -vvv --no-interaction
```

I get the following output:

```

You can see this in the GH Actions workflow output for the above linked branch: https://github.com/jrfnl/bug-report-reproduction-scenarios/actions/runs/16180170758

And I expected this to happen:

The `composer install` to succeed ;-)

The above works in all stable PHP versions I run tests with (PHP 5.4 - 8.4), but fails on PHP 8.5-dev.
