Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Craft 5.8.15 running in production mode, then inspect the Updates section in the Utilities panel and the logs showing the read-only project-config error. Trace the update-fetching path to identify why viewing potential updates attempts a project-config change. Done means potential updates are visible without the error.
