The error is due to a mismatch between `yarn` and `pnpm` . The failure is specifically due to:  
`EINVAL: invalid argument, rmdir '/var/www/discourse/app/assets/javascripts/dialog-holder/node_modules/.bin'`

**Suggested Steps:**

1. Manually remove Node Modules: `rm -rf node_modules app/assets/javascripts/*/node_modules`
2. Run cleanup: `./launcher cleanup`
3. Rebuild Discourse: `./launcher rebuild app`
