Project with a certain name is not seen by nx

[lukemelia]

Current Behavior

nx does not see a project defined in our pnpm workspace named "mobile-ui". If we rename it to anything else (e.g. "mobileui" without the dash), nx detects it properly when building its project graph.

Current behavior: "mobile-ui" project is not included in computation of project graph, for example via pnpm exec nx graph --file=graph.json

Platform: Mac ARM (M1)

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior: graph should include mobile-ui

Steps to Reproduce

Reproduction steps:

1. pnpm install
2. pnpm exec nx reset
3. pnpm exec nx graph --file=graph.json

Expected behavior: graph.json should include mobile-ui and global-ui Actual behavior: graph.json only includes global-ui
