"Your PHP version does not satisfy that requirement"

Composer refuses to install the release. Its product-community-edition package lists the PHP versions it allows, and the PHP running Composer is not one of them. No Magento code runs, so nothing is installed.

From one of our run logs

magento/product-community-edition 2.4.9 requires php ~8.3.0||~8.4.0||~8.5.0 -> your php version (7.4.33) does not satisfy that requirement.
