Okay... and just to make this weirder, now it's working again.
I'm not sure what happened to fix it, but I had the Actor Framework Fundamentals example open decided to try it... and it worked. So I tried creating a new empty project and class and... it works. 😲
Unfortunately, I don't know how I broke it or how I fixed it, so I'm not sure how to prevent it from happening again or what to do if it does. 😅
