SBT native new command crashes with any template

[martin-ockajak]

Steps

Run this command:

sbt --client new scala/scala3.g8

Problem

SBT fails to create a project and crashes with the following error:

[info] entering *experimental* thin client - BEEP WHIRR
[info] server was not detected. starting an instance
[info] welcome to sbt 1.9.8 (Oracle Corporation Java 21.0.2)
[info] loading project definition from /home/owner/project

Error: Unknown argument 'shell'
Try --help for more information.
[info] disconnected

Expectation

A new project should be created from the template.

Notes

The problem seems to be occurring for all Giter8 templates including non-existent templates. For example this command will trigger the same error:

sbt --client new not/real.g8
