composer install fails "app_local.example.php: Failed to open stream: No such file"

[rfay]

I was experimenting with this for CakeFest, and tried a ddev composer install after git clone and got this:

rfay@rfay-mba-m4:~/workspace/cakephp-cms-tutorial$ ddev composer install

While trying to pursue that, the README says something about checking out cake bake, so I did:

$ ddev cake bake -h
deprecated: 16384 :: Since 5.0.0: Using `false` to disable logging scopes is deprecated. Use `null` instead.
/var/www/html/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Log/Engine/FileLog.php, line: 91
You can disable all deprecation warnings by setting `Error.errorLevel` to `E_ALL & ~E_USER_DEPRECATED`. Adding `vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Log/Engine/FileLog.php` to `Error.ignoredDeprecationPaths` in your `config/app.php` config will mute deprecations from that file only. on line 325 of /var/www/html/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Core/functions.php

This is PHP8.3
