I ran into a problem with your elm.json file. I ran into some trouble here:

^C^C
exit code: 130
duration: 39.235 seconds

This command never completes and has to be forced to quit.

• Elm: 0.19.1
• Browser: n/a
• Operating System: MacOS: Darwin 23.4.0 arm64

I had the same issue (elm tries to error but never does) with these elm.json:

{
  "elm-version": "0.19.1",
  "source-directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "dependencies": [],
  "type": "application"
}

{
  "elm-version": "0.19.1",
  "source-directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "dependencies": null,
  "type": "application"
}

{
  "elm-version": "0.19.1",
  "source-directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "dependencies": {},
  "type": "application"
}

{
  "elm-version": "0.19.1",
  "source-directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "direct": false
  },
  "type": "application"
}

{
  "elm-version": "0.19.1",
  "source-directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "direct": {},
    "indirect": {}
  },
  "test-dependencies": {},
  "type": "application"
}

{
  "elm-version": "0.19.1",
  "source-directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "direct": {
      "elm/core": true
    },
    "indirect": {}
  },
  "test-dependencies": {
    "direct": {},
    "indirect": {}
  },
  "type": "application"
}
