What I have tried to date:

Ran this command: VBoxManage.exe setextradata vagrant-project_default_1696285759671_47273 VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/~/gloss-translation 1
Granted create symbolic links to “Authenticated Users” using Local Security Policy
Deleted directory “node_modules” in project root directory
Created a directory in the guest ~/node_modules;
cd ~/gloss-translation; ln -s ~/node_modules; npm install

Result:
All of the above have failed.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
