Adding package.json to git assets does not result in the file being pushed back to repo

Current behavior

The following configuration results in the changelog being pushed back to the target branch, but not package.json.

prepare:
  - path: '@semantic-release/changelog'
  - path: '@semantic-release/git'
    message: 'RELEASE: ${nextRelease.version}'
    assets: ['CHANGELOG.md', 'package.json']

The CI logs indicate the new version is being written to package.json, and I'm hoping to get that pushed back upstream so the version shown in the repo is correct.

Expected behavior

package.json should be pushed to the repo along with CHANGELOG.md.

Environment

• semantic-release version: 18.0.1
• CI environment: GitLab CI
• Plugins used: changelog, commit-analyzer, exec, git, gitlab, npm, release-notes-generator
• semantic-release configuration: https://gitlab.com/james-kontralto/semantic-release-test/-/blob/main/.releaserc.yml
• CI logs: https://gitlab.com/james-kontralto/semantic-release-test/-/jobs/1905701383

Also check out the release commit, it has CHANGELOG.md changes but not package.json: https://gitlab.com/james-kontralto/semantic-release-test/-/commit/fcfe8f8311ff5443ecb4b7bd2bc9f37a7fb0e80b

Start with the linked .releaserc.yml configuration, CI logs, and release commit, then trace how the @semantic-release/git plugin handles the configured assets. Done means a release commit includes package.json alongside CHANGELOG.md when both are listed in assets.
