Config error running crew locally: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'get'

General
1

I created an empty template project using crewai create. I changed it to hierarchical, edited the yaml files, updated the crew.py file. I ran into several issues with the template (e.g. agent and expected_output missing from task.yaml). Now I am stuck with an error in the initialization of Crew class. When running ‘crewai run’. I get the error:
AttributeError: ‘function’ object has no attribute ‘get’

With this stack trace:

An error occurred while running the crew: Command ‘[‘uv’, ‘run’, ‘run_crew’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.

Any idea on how I could try to understand the root cause of this issue?
How to best run ‘crewai run’ in debug mode from VSCode so that I can figure out what is going on under the hood?
Am I doing something completely wrong in the setup
