A couple other things I realized I should mention:

- Branch `master` of Midnight is not configured as a module yet and that is what `hugo mod` will download by default. In my testing that got these errors, I had the website configured to use the local version.
- One thing that _could_ be messing things up - but hasn’t in the past - is that I locally replace the `themes/` folder in the site with a symbolic link to `../themes` so that I can share a themes folder among multiple sites without having to remember to pass the `--themesDir` flag. It makes it easier to test changes on multiple sites at once.
