ENOENT 'C:\C:\...' when starting local instance on windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this! I'm trying to run convex locally after having it running in the cloud. running pnpm convex dev --configure --dev-deployment local and now after that, running pnpm convex dev gives the following error:

✖ Error: Unable to start push to http://127.0.0.1:3210
✖ Error fetching POST  http://127.0.0.1:3210/api/deploy2/start_push 400 Bad Request: InvalidExternalModules: Hit an error while pushing:

I've tried setting CONVEX_TMPDIR but that doesn't seem to do anything helpful. (i did confirm that it is reading that value, because i was able to get a different error by setting up a bad value for it) (its set to this currently: C:\Users\My User\.convex) pnpm: 10.19.0 convex: 1.28.2 node: v22.19.0 windows 11 Version: 24H2, build: 26100.6899
