Steps to reproduce:

Option 1: 
Note: every try should be done on an initial state of the project, meaning that you need to unzip the new copy of the project for each try

1. Open the attached "Repo test cleaned.zip" project
2. In Background Tasks window you should see QuickSearch Indexing process - wait while it is finished
3. Go to menu Window->General->TestRunner{},{} and open the Test Runner window  
4. Open Windows Task Manager, find and unfold Unity.exe process - wait while extra spawned workers to shut down, and there should stay only two idle ones 
5. Go in Project Browser and open All Materials, All Models, etc. and scroll around there for a bit - this will spawn workers for Preview Generation - they are needed to cause the crashes
6. In Test Runner, select Asmdef Worker Crash and hit 'Run selected'
7. Wait and observe the AssetImportWorker crash

Option 2: 

1 Create new 3D HDRP project through HUB (probably works with other types of projects as well, but I haven't tried)
2 Close the project
3 Reopen the project
4 Go to All Materials, All Models, etc to start some Preview Generation to spawn workers
5 In the Project Browser create the new Script - so compilation/Domain reload starts
6 In Windows Explorer go into Library/PackageCache/Collab and delete both the .asmdef and its .meta
7 Go back to the Editor and get Import Workers crashes with the crash we are looking for
Note: it is not always reproducible, but happens at least every second try

Actual results: AssetImportWorkers crash

Expected results: AssetImportWorkers should not crash

Reproducible with versions: 6000.0.57f1, 6000.2.3f1, 6000.3.0b1,  6000.4.0a1

Not reproducible with versions: haven't tested 2022.3

Tested on (OS): macOS 15.6.1 (M1 Max), Windows 10, Windows 11

Notes: "Fatal Error! Compilation Pipeline: Could not read file" Error is printed before AssetImportWorker crashes
