Hey, Lucas. There could be a couple different things happening here.

pnpm-workspace.yaml in the reproduction is incorrect. /src/* does not capture the intended packages. You'll want to edit to:

packages:
  - "src/apps/*"
  - "src/packages/*"

Once you do that, run your package manager's install command and try again.

If things still don't work correctly, the next thing to check is if shell expansion happening in your terminal. Depending on which emulator you're using (its not included in your environment information section), the ! character can be interpreted in a few different ways. You'll want to change your commands to include a \ character in front of the ! to escape the exclamation point character. It will look like this:

pnpm lint --filter='\!./src/apps/*'
