Reproduction steps:

1. Open the user-attached "PhantomPeakArcadeMachines" project
2. In the Project window, search "shader"
3. Double-click on "OlympicsBgShader.shadergraph" to open the Shader Editor
4. Observe the outcome

Expected results: Shader Editor opens in Unity Editor without errors
Actual results: Shader Editor throws an ArgumentNullException and asks to "Select an app to open this .shadergraph file"

Reproducible with: 2021.3.32f1, 2022.2.0a8
Not reproducible with: 2022.3.14f1, 2023.2.1f1, 2023.3.0a15
Fixed in: 2022.2.0a9

Reproducible on: Windows 11 Pro
Not reproducible on: No other environments tested

Notes:
- Unable to reproduce the issue on a new project
- The issue happens with any “.shadergraph” file
- Deleting the Library folder fixes the issue

  1. Resolution Note:

    Although it was possible to repro the issue using the project provided, deleting the library folder restored the project to a functional state. It's unclear what the root cause for this issue was, but we've been unable to reproduce this issue otherwise.
