ok now I solved it I think, it seems to be a big no no to just remove variables by directly editing instead of using the cli? pretty sure that action was the offender

Do you mean properties in config? Values in the Pulumi.&lt;stack&gt;.yaml?

If you mean the stack file, you should be able to edit it. It doesn't remove the requirement for the values though: that's defined in your code.
