Hi guys, i tried to contact support with 3 tickets but i can not get anyone to help, i hope someone here knows who i can continue ussing Replit. After problems with Replit few days ago something happend in my project and i am unable to redeploy app and agent can not install anything because of this error:  
Failed to run packager install tool due to error Error in river, code: UPM\_ERROR, message: Error in river service (agentToolPackager - spawnInstallPackages), code: UPM\_ERROR, message: Exited with code: 16 output:\*\*\* stack smashing detected \*\*\*: terminated signal: aborted (core dumped)

If i use npm install function everything is ok and i am able to use app, but when i want to redeploy i got same stack smashing error because obviously Replit use same packager install during deployment! Any suggestion beside wait for support?

Combo of internal/external tools is the Jedi way.
