I'm Working on a windows system and a Bash terminal. I made sure the /node_modules/web-tree-sitter/tree-sitter.wasm file exists so not sure what it happening.

To Reproduce

1. Clear your n8n library and node module
2. Run pnpm install
3. Run pnpm build

Expected behavior

n8n should build succesfully.
