Current PlatformIO is based on python3.12 where the package pkg_resources is no longer available by default. pkg_resource is used in script auto_firmware_version.py. Bugfix available. See PR #1759

Thank you for pointing that out. I don't understand why the GitHub actions never failed at this point. Will merge the PR asap.

It looks like, that this is not merged yet into the main branch c2e5d09 of the release 0.8.154. I got the same error and applied the patch manually. After that it is working.

release 0.8.154 is buggy, and no more declared as release
