🐞 Bug report

when running ng build I get an exception during what I understand to be ngcc compiling @angular/core:

I am at a loss for how to troubleshoot this. This is a separate feature branch of a recently upgraded angular 12 project, incorporating changes from another developer. The base branch build correctly.

Command (mark with an x)

• new
• build
• serve
• test
• e2e
• generate
• add
• update
• lint
• extract-i18n
• run
• config
• help
• version
• doc

Is this a regression?

No

Description

When running ng build, I see the following output: ⠋ Generating browser application bundles (phase: setup)… Compiling @angular/core : es2015 as esm2015

at which point I see the exception and the stack trace below. Note after an npm ci command, I also see the same message appear and complete successfully before it builds other node packages.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction
