FATAL: corrupt installation: file is missing or modified.

### Description of the bug:

We're running into issues where our self hosted github runners that run Bazel are running into very odd issues of some form of :

```
FATAL: corrupt installation: file '/opt/runner/.cache/bazel/_bazel_runner/install/88c4bda92e58e48775c9c9582c0165d4/rules_java/AUTHORS' is missing or modified. Please remove '/opt/runner/.cache/bazel/_bazel_runner/install/88c4bda92e58e48775c9c9582c0165d4' and try again.

```

I'm trying to understand what could even cause this issue, I did some looking into the stat value of the files and I could see output:

I understand that within the install base Bazel's internal directive is to change datetime to 10 years ahead to check for any tampering or modification, however I'm trying to understand is there something internally within Bazel that could potentially be touching this?

Trying to figure out exactly what could cause this, is it as simple as an access of the file or actual modification/removal only?

Start with the reported Bazel 7.0.1 error and the installation path under /opt/runner/.cache/bazel/_bazel_runner/install/88c4bda92e58e48775c9c9582c0165d4, then review the supplied access, modification, change, and birth timestamps. Reproduce or isolate whether Bazel's installation check is triggered by access alone or by a missing or modified file; done means identifying a confirmed cause or a minimal reproduction.
