Description
I have installed texlive outside of msys2 and use it on msys2.
After updating msys2-runtime, texlive commands do not recognize files in the current directory and I get the following error.
$ pdflatex output.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `output.tex'.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with msys2-runtime 3.4.10, an external TeX Live installation, and the pdflatex command shown. Compare the current-directory file lookup before and after the runtime update; done means external commands can again recognize files in the current directory.
