realpath: engine/bin/godot.linuxbsd.template_release.x86_64.llvm fails if the file does not exist. This means that the justfile cannot be used unless that file exists. Compiling that file requires using the justfile. So it's a catch22 where

you can't compile the project,
because you don't have a compiled target,
because you can't compile the project,
because you don't have a compile target,
etc.

temporary fix is to comment out the release scripts and variables and run the initialize-template script. The release scripts still won't work until you manually compile both a linux and windows release build, so it'll have to remain commented out
