Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure through the netlify dev entry point on Windows 10 with the reported Node and npm versions. Read the stack trace through Node's filesystem watcher and the bundled chokidar handler; done means the CLI no longer terminates unexpectedly when watching the reported PNG path.
