[Bug]: Not able to run the Storybook test runner

[kirti-a2b]

Describe the bug

I am trying to run the Storybook test runner with npx test-storybook --url http://localhost:4400 --config-dir libs/ui/.storybook.
I consistently get the following error, even after removing all Jest, Playwright, and nyc dependencies and performing a clean install.

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: Jest: Got error running globalSetup - .../playwright/global-setup.js, reason: The "original" argument must be of type function. Received an instance of Object
    at promisify (node:internal/util:400:3)
    at Object.<anonymous> (.../nyc/index.js:10:14)
    ...

To Reproduce

Additional context

List What I Have Tried

• Removed all Jest, Playwright, and nyc dependencies from [package.json]
• Deleted node_modules and [package-lock.json]
• Reinstalled all dependencies
• Aligned all Storybook packages to the same version
• Tried different versions of @storybook/test-runner

Is this a known compatibility issue?
Are there any workarounds or specific versions I should use?
What else can I try to resolve this?
