Summary

My sandbox got upgraded to API 66.0. Local Dev either can't connect to client, or when it does doesn't hot reload anything.

Steps To Reproduce:

lightning-dev 5.1.4 (prerelease) and can't connect to client:

sf plugins install @salesforce/plugin-lightning-dev@prerelease
sf lightning generate component --name localDevTest --type lwc --output-dir force-app/main/default/lwc
sf lightning dev component --name localDevTest

Expected Result

Work properly and hot reload

Actual Result

Hot reloading doesn't work
