On each network-using invocation 2 files are downloaded from conda-forge, then download status msg is replaced by the error (so can only capture with a carefully timed screenshot).

Results of pixi add esri -vvv 2>pixi-add-esri-vvv-error.txt attached. Post-processed to obfuscate username and remove consecutive duplicate lines.

The cache folder exists and has recently written files in it. The json file appears to well formed (Notepad++ Json Tools plugin 'pretty print json' works).

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that you are on WSL and the data is taken from you host system? What happens if you delete the contents of the repodata folder?

In WSL, are you running the host (Windows) pixi.exe or did you install pixi inside your linux environment? I would always recommend to use the latter.
