Could not load the "sharp" module using the linux-arm64 runtime

I'm trying to use sharp package and get this error when running bunx convex dev

I've tried sharp versions: 0.33.5 and latest, 0.34.4, same result every time.
I've configured 
convex.json
 in root directory (same as package.json) as:
{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-convex/convex-backend/refs/heads/main/npm-packages/convex/schemas/convex.schema.json",
  "node": {
    "nodeVersion": "22",
    "externalPackages": ["sharp"]
  }
}


All related files/actions have "use node" directive.

Output of bunx convex dev --once --debug-node-apis:
✔ Provisioned a dev deployment and saved its name as CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT to .env.local
