Problem Description The build process for MWS server is throwing this error. Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what's causing it. The alltiddlers.html renders to completion, and opening every tiddler in the recent list also works without any errors in console.

Error: inline rule didn't increment state.pos

To Reproduce

Clone TiddlyWiki5 into the MWS repo as a subfolder and then run this command.

bash

mkdir -p output
node TiddlyWiki5/tiddlywiki.js \
	./editions/mws-docs \
	--verbose \
	--version \
	--load output/build.tid \
	--output output \
	--build favicon static index

TiddlyWiki Configuration

TiddlyWiki5: latest commit, master branch MWS: latest commit, main branch

The last successful build was Jan 3, and the first failure was Jan 20. So something apparently got committed to the TiddlyWiki5 repo which changed something. The failing commit had nothing to do with the docs.
