get cwd: %w

Error message

get cwd: %w

What it means

Wraps a failure of os.Getwd() while readFxrc builds its list of .fxrc.js search paths. The current working directory cannot be determined (e.g. the directory was deleted or the process lacks permission to stat it), so the cwd-based config path cannot be computed and config loading aborts.

Solutions

1. cd back into a valid directory before running fx
2. Restore or recreate the deleted working directory
