Did you manage to solve this? I'm getting a similar error.

Maybe related to this? docker/for-mac#4976

I'm having the same issue. There's also a bug report on the Composer action repo: php-actions/composer#97

1. Make sure you've added /root to virtual file shares. It's not there by default (docs). OP said they already did this.
2. In my case, this was not enough, but switching from VirtioFS to gRPC FUSE in Docker desktop > Settings > General > Virtual Machine Options fixed it.
