This usually happens on Windows when Turbopack tries to create junction links for pnpm-managed node_modules.

You can try these fixes:

1. Delete .next and node_modules

rm -rf .next node_modules pnpm-lock.yaml
pnpm install

2. Run terminal as Administrator (Windows junction permissions issue)

3. Disable Turbopack temporarily and check if the issue disappears:

next dev

instead of:

next dev --turbopack

4. Try changing the package manager hoisting settings in .npmrc:

node-linker=hoisted

then reinstall dependencies.

5. Make sure the project path is not too long or inside synced folders like OneDrive.

This seems related to pnpm symlink/junction creation rather than Firebase Admin itself.
