TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'tests')

Seeing a new error today, after re-starting our implementation process:

Everything starts out normally:

Will leave all specs to run to filter at run-time

All my tests run and pass so I close Cypress and get the following:

Looks like its an issue on my side as I tried reverting to the 2.9 version and I still get the error - Trying to figure it out, since we haven't changed anything since this was working last (except updating all dependencies)

[MelaAxel]

After additional debugging, I still pretty sure this is on my side but I cannot figure out where or why... So I'm looking for additional help; please and thank you

[MelaAxel]

A little more info/context:

• I am only seeing this when I run cypress open; this doesn't log or show when I run the spec directly in headless
• the test results are not being sent to testrail in either case
• the run in testrail IS being created as intended
• in either method, I am left with a created_run.json file at root

[MelaAxel]

I pulled the last known good configuration from our repo into a clean directory and still got this error with the old npm i modules - now I'm wondering how I got this to work the one time...
