Shopify CLI Error: "Failed to perform the initial theme synchronization" (Internal Server Error)

Hi everyone,

I’m new to using Shopify CLI and I’ve encountered an issue when trying to run the command:shopify theme dev

The CLI fails right away and gives this error message:

Failed to perform the initial theme synchronization.

Internal error. Looks like something went wrong on our end.
Request ID: 01b16014-1b72-41e5-96b8-66294cf463b1-1760340626 (include this in support requests).
{“response”:{“errors”:[{“message”:“Internal error. Looks like something went wrong on our end.”,“extensions”:{“requestId”:“01b16014-1b72-41e5-96b8-66294cf463b1-1760340626”,“code”:“INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR”}}],“data”:null,“status”:200}}

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
