Thank you for your efforts.

Actual Behavior

My config.php

<?php

defined('BASE_PATH') || define('BASE_PATH', getenv('BASE_PATH') ?: realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../..'));
defined('APP_PATH') || define('APP_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/app');

return new \Phalcon\Config([

I was able to recreate this on DevTools Version 3.4.11 as well as DevTools Version 3.4.12 (the latest which can be used with Phalcon 3)

The steps for me to recreate were:

phalcon project new
cd new
phalcon create-controller --name test

I also tried this on DevTools Version v4.1.0 and was not able to recreate it on v4.1.0.

The cause of the issue is related to devtools not being able to find the config.php in the usual place, due to the rootPath path somehow getting set to / in phalcon-devtools/scripts/Phalcon/Builder/Path.php, and it falls back to recursive directory searching and a regular expression:
preg_match('/config\.php$/i', $f->getPathName())
and this unexpectedly matches public/webtools.config.phpbefore app/config/config.php, finding the wrong config file.

I was able to also get it working again with a quick and dirty fix by adding an if statement so it doesn't match the wrong config file:

                if (preg_match('/webtools\.config\.php$/i', $f->getPathName())) {
                    continue;
                }
                

I'm currently working on a more proper fix for this.

This is fixed in v3.4.13
