4.0.5 <ui:composition template="path/to.xhtml"> broken with contracts?

Describe the bug

ui:composition with a template from contracts bath does not work with mojarra 4.0.5
Probably caused by #5330

To Reproduce

We have a place similar to this tutorial:
https://javaee.github.io/tutorial/jsf-facelets008.html#:~:text=Resource%20library%20contracts%20allow%20you,section%20of%20your%20web%20application.
<ui:composition xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets" template="/template.xhtml" />
with a faces-config.xml

<faces-config>
    <application>
        <resource-library-contracts>
            <contract-mapping>
                <url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
                <contracts>default</contracts>
            </contract-mapping>
        </resource-library-contracts>
    </application>
</faces-config>

Now when I debug I see that template.xhtml is resolved into: file:/C:/../testContractMappings/webapp/contracts/default/template.xhtml which is correct.
but because isContractsResource is true, which is also correct for that path, I will get "IOException: Contract resources cannot be accessed this way" from DefaultFacelet.

Now after the change, can't ui:composition be used with contract-mapping-s any more or maybe I must change something in the mapping to use it in a different way or must do something to get it working with contracts again? We have not set jakarta.faces.WEBAPP_CONTRACTS_DIRECTORY.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows/unix/mac
• Version 4.0.5

Additional context

I found this from Wildfly 31 and latest glassfish 7 that already use mojarra 4.0.5
Probably caused by #5330

Thanks for reporting. This is a bug. That use case was just overlooked and not covered by the TCK.
