PlatformIO is Broken with "KeyError: \"Invalid board option 'build.family'\""

[cap9qd]

I have been testing the i2c (Wire) implementation for BK72XX chips (so far so good BTW just jamming it into ESPHome i2c component) and wanted to see if I could get SoftWire working on a Temperature-Humidity board before diving into ESPHome. I found that trying to develop in PlatformIO under VSCode is broken if I leave libretiny in the .platformio directory. I thought this was something to do with my fork and developing for ESPHome but does not seem to be the case. If I remove libretiny from C:\User\user\.platformio\platforms\ then PIO goes back to working.

PS C:\Users\user> cd '.\Documents\Projects\BK7233N_SoftWire\'              
PS C:\Users\user\Documents\Projects\BK7233N_SoftWire> pio project init --board generic-bk7231n-qfn32-tuya

============================================================

An unexpected error occurred. Further steps:

* Verify that you have the latest version of PlatformIO using
  `python -m pip install -U platformio` command

* Try to find answer in FAQ Troubleshooting section
  https://docs.platformio.org/page/faq/index.html

* Report this problem to the developers
  https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues

============================================================

I noticed you pushed some changes to https://registry.platformio.org/platforms/kuba2k2/libretiny/boards recently so maybe I am just jumping into the middle of something that's a work in progress.

I tried updating PIO but my PIO version is latest at v6.1.14b1.

I also tried installing libretiny from PIO CLI command line with the same result.

With the microcontroller stuff I am half useful...but here I am next to useless tracking this down.
