Cannot read properties of null (reading 'changedProjects')

Current Behavior

When upgrading from Nx v16 to 19, we experience a crash w/ errors.

Expected Behavior

I do not expect Nx to crash.

GitHub Repo

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone our OSS repo: https://github.com/tryghost/ghost
2. Update Nx to the latest version: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/430fbdb987c7ac181f9ae7360c4b94d745a0f35b/package.json#L121 (and run yarn)
3. Re-enable the daemon process: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/430fbdb987c7ac181f9ae7360c4b94d745a0f35b/nx.json#L13 (we had to disable it due to a different bug)
4. Run yarn dev
5. Observe crash 💥
