Thanks for this report.

Thanks for this. I was able to reproduce this on Linux by creating a state file with invalid JSON.
In general, this crash will appear whenever Terraform is unable to access the latest state snapshot for whatever reason: the file could be corrupt, unparseable as JSON, inaccessible, etc.

Fixed by #31444.
