[Bug]: cannot parse invalid wire-format data with ibazel + rules_js

[Aghassi]

What happened?

Occasionally when running ibazel on a webpack_dev_server target, we see an error that looks similar to this

iBazel [1:01PM]: Querying for files to watch...
iBazel [1:01PM]: Running //project:dev_server
Could not read blaze query response. Error: proto: cannot parse invalid wire-format data

iBazel [1:01PM]: Error running Bazel proto: cannot parse invalid wire-format data
 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 4.

We have been unable to reproduce this consistently but it does show up occasionally. @gregmagolan asked me to post here, I will provide whatever info I can.

Our ibazel config flag has these in it

# Run bazel --config=dev to choose these options:
build:dev --show_progress=false --curses=no --color=no --show_timestamps=false --ui_event_filters=-INFO,-STDERR

Version

Development (host) and target OS/architectures:

Output of bazel --version: 6.4.0

Version of the Aspect rules, or other relevant rules from your
WORKSPACE or MODULE.bazel file:
rules_js - 1.38.0
rules_webpack - 0.14.0
rules_ts - 2.2.0
aspect-cli - 5.8.5 (for gazelle)

Language(s) and/or frameworks involved:

How to reproduce

Have a package with a BUILD file that contains a webpack_dev_server target.

Run that target with ibazel through pnpm with the config we provided in the bazelrc.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what triggers the error. Maybe it's related to rebasing, maybe it's related to running again and again. I'm not sure.

Any other information?
