Linux via Homebrew

$ vale --version
vale version 3.3.1

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Here is my conf

$ vale ls-dirs
Asset       | Default Location                               | Found
StylesPath  | /home/whatever/.local/share/vale/styles        | ✓
.vale.ini   | /home/whatever/.config/vale/.vale.ini          | ✓
vale-native | /home/whatever/.config/vale/native/vale-native | ✗

$ cat ~/.config/vale/.vale.ini   

MinAlertLevel = suggestion

Packages = write-good

[*]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, write-good

vale works

$ vale /etc/debian_version
✔ 0 errors, 0 warnings and 0 suggestions in 1 file.

But you cannot use vale sync without using --config

$ vale sync
E100 [.vale.ini not found] Runtime error

no config file found

Execution stopped with code 1.

And it works when asking to use the config file reported with vale ls-dirs

$ vale sync --config ~/.config/vale/.vale.ini
Syncing write-good [1/1] █████████████████████████████████████████████ 100% | 0s
SUCCESS  Synced 1 package(s) to '/home/whatever/.local/share/vale/styles'.

Expected behavior, be able to use vale sync without having to use a --config parameter

Here is an strace of what the code tries to locate

newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/whatever/Documents/dev/.vale", 0xc002d9a1d8, 0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

You can see it find the /home/whatever/.config/vale/.vale.ini file, but it reports an error
