It may be related to one of these recent changes, but it also might not (the error is intermittent and we don't have a lot of builds to use as data):

• Upgrade rush from 5.97.1 to 5.113.4
  • https://dev.azure.com/devdiv/DevDiv/_git/openapi-alps/pullrequest/527898
• Upgrade Node to v18

  • https://dev.azure.com/devdiv/DevDiv/_git/openapi-alps/pullrequest/520946

Attempted Fixes
