Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Gradle 8.4 or 8.5, Spotless 6.23.1, the Gradle daemon enabled, and a failing rule in .editorconfig; run ./gradlew spotlessCheck before and after disabling the rule. Investigate how spotlessCheck treats .editorconfig during the daemon run, and consider the issue done when the second invocation passes without --no-daemon.

Description
-
summary of problem
Steps to reproduce: -
enable Gradle daemon
-
run
./gradlew spotlessCheckwith some failing rule. -
disable said rule in
.editorconfig -
run
./gradlew spotlessCheckagain.
Expected: check passes.
Actual: check fails again.
Adding a --no-daemon command line parameter to second invocation resolves the issue; which hints that daemon somehow caches file contents, or doesn't treat it as an input to Gradle task.
