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 localpnpm convex dev --configure --dev-deployment local and now after that, running pnpm convex devpnpm convex dev gives the following error:

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\.convexC:\Users\My User\.convex)
