Remotion bundle breaks when project path contains exclamation mark

If the project folder name contains !, @remotion/bundler fails with Module not found: Can't resolve '/video/node_modules/@remotion/bundler/dist/setup-environment.js'. The path in the error is truncated at the !, because webpack/rspack treat ! as a loader separator. A symlink to the project without the ! does not fix it alone, since Node resolves to the real path and the same error returns. What worked: create the symlink, cd into it, and run the render script with node --preserve-symlinks script.cjs, using the symlink path as the project root. This avoids renaming a folder the user chose.
