## Current Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we have today -->

With plugin isolation turned on, it works on CI but doesn't on slow
laptops due to corporate software.


We currently run nx with the following patch to figure out why it happen
:

```patch

             }
             else {
                 attempts++;

```

With the added logging, we can see the following:

On ci (nx agents, or circleci)
```

```

We even got to numbers as high as 2000 on some laptops.

For the reference, we have the following plugins on our `nx.json`

```json
{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "tsc",
      "plugin": "./tools/nx-tools/src/plugins/tsc.ts",
      "options": {
        "targetName": "type-check"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "eslint",
      "plugin": "./tools/nx-tools/src/plugins/eslint.ts",
      "options": {
        "targetName": "lint"
      }
    },
    {
      "plugin": "@nx/vite/plugin",
      "options": {
        "buildTargetName": "build",
        "previewTargetName": "preview",
        "testTargetName": "test",
        "serveTargetName": "dev",
        "serveStaticTargetName": "serve-static"
      }
    },
    {
      "plugin": "./tools/nx-tools/src/plugins/jest.ts",
      "options": {
        "targetName": "test"
      }
    },
    {
      "plugin": "./tools/nx-tools/src/plugins/tsup.ts",
      "options": {
        "targetName": "build"
      }
    },
    {
      "plugin": "./tools/nx-tools/src/plugins/storybook.ts",
      "options": {
        "buildStorybookTargetName": "build-storybook",
        "serveStorybookTargetName": "storybook",
        "testStorybookTargetName": "test-storybook",
        "staticStorybookTargetName": "static-storybook"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

One thing we managed to find out is the more plugin on the project, the
bigger the number.

So for now, the current workaround is to bump to 10000 instead of 1000
tries

## Expected Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we should expect with the changes in this PR
-->

Plugin worker should work and nx should be working with plugin isolation
