I don’t understand what is going on here:

 - Run `Pkg.instantiate()` to install all recorded dependencies.

Could it be some cache/precompilation corruption? What should I nuke/regenerate?

You can try out GitHub - KristofferC/PkgFsck.jl or delete .julia/packages/ArgCheck and do an instantiate.

Neither helped, but deleting the v1.11 Manifest.toml fixed the issue. I guess it was somehow corrupted (even though I never got error messages for removing/adding packages).

Would have been interesting to see what was in that manifest.

Yes, I realized after deleting it, sorry. Got a bit too trigger happy after a 3-day exercise in bisection.
