š Our package-lock.json file is a mess for a variety of reasons I won't bore you with but while removing an ancient version of webpack-dev-server that used supports-color from our application it ended up deleting node_modules/supports-color; however because Alex has an implicit dependency on this by way of vfile-reporter it left node_modules/vfile-reporter/node_modules/supports-color alone.
Unfortunately because this is an implicit and not an explicit dependency Alex began to throw the following error for us:
node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:853
throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(packageName, fileURLToPath(base), null);

Installing supports-color as a development dependency of our application places supports-color back into the root node_modules directory and makes Alex work again.
Because Alex directly depends on this module it should list it as an explicit dependency.
