there has to be something else, because a dummy playbook without
inventory works, using ansible 11.8 and ansible-core 2.19:

$cat t.yml
- name: foo
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: foo
    ansible.builtin.package:
      state: present
      name: nginx

$doas ansible-playbook t.yml
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available.
Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

PLAY [foo] ***
TASK [Gathering Facts] ***
ok: [localhost]

TASK [foo] ***
changed: [localhost]

PLAY RECAP ***
localhost : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0 failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0
