Expected behavior
I should be able to make changes and see them updated on my local server.
Actual behavior
I'm having a problem with the connection and with my local project using the Shopify CLI. It was working correctly a couple of days ago, but something happened that prevented me from working properly, as I'm getting the following error: "Failed to perform the initial theme synchronization." When trying to use the Shopify theme dev -s "store" command, I tried deleting the CLI, reinstalling it, clearing the cache, and disabling the firewall. Nothing works.

+1 Having the same issue. Using:
@shopify/cli/3.78.0 darwin-arm64 node-v23.11.0- MacMini M4
Same issue here. Tried to delete the dev theme but then I get a new message saying:
Theme X is missing required files. Run shopify theme delete -t X to delete it, then try your command again.
(where X is the theme ID I already deleted)
And yes I checked it was deleted before I tried to do shopify theme dev again.

I get this also but I just keep forcing the command until dev runs.
Same error. I tried many different CLI versions and node versions nothing working. The webpack complies, node is fine but the CLI not synch with the local and the process exit with the same User aborted the request message as for everyone.
