Vagrant up fails after moving Trellis onto new hardware

My coworker just started using a new computer, and his Trellis instance - which was working - is now failing at vagrant up with the following output:

default: Running ansible-playbook...

Looking in /trellis/group_vars/development/wordpress_sites.yml gives

wordpress_sites:
  domain.com:
    site_hosts:
      - canonical: domain.test
    local_path: ../site # path targeting local Bedrock site directory (relative to Ansible root)

You will notice that this is using a very outdated version of Trellis - clearly not ideal but we have some blockers keeping us from updating for the moment. Given that reality, I’m hoping someone here could shed some light on this with_dict expects a dict error. I have this same Trellis project running fine on my own machine so it seems like the failure is due to the underlying system tools (as opposed to any settings/variables).

So far we’ve tried clearing /etc/exports, removing trellis/.vagrant and running vagrant destroy && vagrant up with no luck.

This is on macOS Big Sur 11.4 (20F71) (Intel).

We were eventually able to get around this by upgrading to a more recent version of Trellis (v1.0 -> v.1.4.0). Still not sure what the hangup was but if I had to guess I’d say it was Ansible-related. Bumping to Trellis 1.4.0 allowed us to move to Ansible 2.8.x and clear up the with_dict expects a dict error.
