Bug: "Failed to pre-resolve dependencies" on all new projects

[krs1zzet]

Describe the bug

Description Steps to Reproduce:

Go to stackblitz.com.

Create any new project from a template (e.g., Vite + React).

The project initialization starts, and the terminal opens.

The automatic npm install process fails immediately.

Expected Behavior: The dependencies for the new project should install successfully without any errors.

Actual Behavior: The installation fails with the error message: npm error Failed to pre-resolve dependencies. This seems to be a platform-wide issue as it happens even on unmodified template projects. The error is thrown by a StackBlitz worker script, not standard npm.

Additional Information:

Failing Project URL: (Note: This issue occurs on any newly created project. You can reproduce it with any template. Here is a link to an empty, failing Vite project for reference, but any new project will show the same behavior.) https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-z3t3la
