For me this build is hanging. It didn’t hang with the release candidates. I have filed a bug: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/27221>

In the release notes section on the new CopySpec factory:
&gt; The `FileSystemOperations` service now has a <https://docs.gradle.org/8.5/javadoc/org/gradle/api/file/FileSystemOperations.html#copySpec--|copySpec()> method for creating `CopySpec` instances in a <https://docs.gradle.org/8.5/userguide/configuration_cache.html|configuration cache> friendly way. The new method allows you to create, configure, and use `CopySpec` instances during the <https://docs.gradle.org/8.5/userguide/build_lifecycle.html#sec:build_phases|execution phase>.
The final sentence singles out execution phase. What about configuration phase?

During the configuration phase, you can access the `Project` instance, so the existing method was OK. This really enables to use a `CopySpec` when you cannot access the `Project`
