Issue Description

After upgrading typescript-eslint to the latest version 8.5.0 my linting setup with NX broke.

The respective error message is Parsing error: Could not read project service default project 'tsconfig.json': error TS5012: Cannot read file 'tsconfig.json': ENOENT: no such file or directory. The respective files are included in a tsconfig.lib.json file which is being referenced from tsconfig.json. The same applies to files included by tsconfig.spec.ts (also referenced by tsconfig.json).

I am using projectService: true with a NX monorepo (see reproduction repo). The same setup worked fine with version 8.4.0. The breaking change seems to be #9893.

Reproduction Repository Link

https://github.com/hoi4/typescript-eslint-issue

Repro Steps

1. clone the repo
2. npm i
3. npx nx lint nx19 --skip-nx-cache

Alternatively, when using eslint directly with an example file: npx eslint apps/nx19/src/app/app.component.ts

The latest commit uses version 8.5.0 which has the described issue. The previous commit holds a working state with version 8.4.0.
