The related issue is solved because there was just an overseen "minimum-stability" value in project composer.json. After changing to "dev" the grant module was installing. But the tome module still has the same confusing report. Comparing to grant module there is a big difference which probably the cause. Grant has a working module in main namespace which has a dependency on grant:grant_base defined in grant.info.yml. Because there is nothing defined in composer.json I wonder how composer "knows" about the sub modules in modules folder. I think in this composer interpretation of the situation there is an answer an maybe a composer based solution to fix this behavior in tome without changing the current sub module strategy.

Because there was a change in the following file about catch command I looked int this file:
modules/tome_static/src/EventSubscriber/RoutePathSubscriber.php
and found this:
catch (\Throwable $e) {

So it seems this correct dev version code but composer shows installing current stable version "1.12.0". So it' still confusing.
