Bug: Installing a third-party tool results in an empty auth.json file (and a composer failure). #980
Description
Describe the bug
In order to use composer-normalize, I am using your action to install PHP and composer-normalize on my self-hosted runner. Until yesterday, everything was working perfectly (well done, by the way, it's great 👏), but since yesterday (and version 2.35) I've been having a problem.
First, this job fails when the action is executed, I get a JQ error, then composer tells me that the JSON file auth.json is invalid (it is indeed completely empty).
I want to point out that when I revert to version 2.34.1 of your action, everything works perfectly again (this is the workaround we have implemented).

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.Additional context
The test was run on a blank runner; there is no auth.json file on the file system. After running the job, an empty auth.json file was created, causing composer to fail completely (see the invalid json error message).
The version of JQ installed is the one officially supported by Ubuntu 24.04, i.e. 1.7, and this package was installed this morning at 5:30 AM CEST.
