}

(Note: blitz and blitz -v also yield the exact same error output, so it's not command specific.)

Yeah, I did a clean install of blitz on windows, and I'm seeing the same issue 😥 I'm looking to see if this could maybe be a problem during the oclif release process

This is an issue with the cli.ts file inside the blitz package. Where global vs local usage is determined and executed.

I'll try to set up a VM and debug this
