Research direction

Start in index.ts at the namespacePaths glob construction and compare the paths passed to the LWC server with the package directories. Reproduce with the listed sf lightning dev command on Windows Git Bash, then verify the workspace reports the expected 55 LWC components instead of none.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Expected Result

Initial Theory

Relative Paths are being passed to the server config, but it expects full paths.
Prior to 1.9.1 full paths were used.

This change in index.ts works makes it work fine.

  const namespacePaths = (await Promise.all(packageDirs.map((dir) => glob(`${dir.fullPath}/**/lwc`, { absolute : true })))).flat();
