Running chromatic storybook build for the first time hangs indefinitely

Bug report

Just installed storybook@7.1.0 and had not yet run any builds. I installed chromatic@6.19.9 and tried to run npx chromatic --project-token=<token> and the process hangs indefinitely. I tried killing it and running it again several times with the same result.

I finally looked at the build-storybook.log and saw the last line asking if I would like to provide data about crash reports [Y/n]. I think the problem may be that chromatic is running the build with the --silent flag, which gives no indication that storybook is stopped at the the crash reports prompt.

I solved the issue by running npm run build-storybook, where I was able to see the prompt and answer it, then when I subsequently ran chromatic again everything works.

I've hit this as well--super confusing.
