Help seeked: Toolchain broken after attempting to add a new board

Hi Community

I’m desperately trying to compile my code for adafruit_qtpy_esp32s2 which perfectly worked for more than 12 month until yesterday. Yesterday, I temporarily added a new board (xiao esp32c3) to platformio.ini.
Since then (and after removing the newly added xiao config again) I cannot compile my code anymore. I even created a new windows user and reinstalled platformio but the result stayed the same.

I get gross errors like those for WiFi.h and Update.h:

.pio/libdeps/adafruit_qtpy_esp32s2/WebSockets/src/WebSockets.h:205:10: fatal error: WiFi.h: No such file or directory
and
.pio/libdeps/adafruit_qtpy_esp32s2/ArduinoOTA/src/InternalStorageESP.cpp:24:10: fatal error: Update.h: No such file or director

There are also errors in my ADC routines where I use ESP32 specific structs.

But those files are on my disk: C:\Users\me\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32\libraries\WiFi\src\WiFi.h
and C:\Users\me\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32\libraries\Update\src\Update.h

So far I never took much notice of the dependency graph. Should there be more?
Also, most probably, the framework-arduinoespressif32 version is highter than I had it (I hardly updated libs before because they were just working).

Any help much appreciated. And thanks for reading!

So it’s not detecting the WiFi library as a subdependency?

The first defense would be to try different lib_ldf_mode values, like deep+.

Thank you @maxgerhardt for your generously quick answer and pointing me in the right direction.

The solution seams that I have to add all the required framework Libs to platformio.ini.
This might be obvious for the community (:person_facepalming:) and I obviously missed it :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:. The point is that I did not list all those arduinoespressif32 libraries before and it was just compiling/linking perfectly. (As you can see in my first message, there was still the SPI found by the toolchain without having it declared in platformio.ini).

I got it compiling and linking by adding all the needed framework libs to platformio.ini.
I seam to have initiated some update processes yesterday. Unconsciously and definitely unintended. Unfortunately I have no idea, what versions of libs I used before the incident.
So I guess, the only way is forward. I am now screening my code for all implicitly used libraries and add them with new versions in the platformio.ini). But I have crashes at several points in the code (due to some unfitting versions, I assume).

By the way, actually lib_ldf_mode = chain+ made it worse meaning that in the above dependency graph, even SPI was missing.
So I wonder whether this is actually a bug or a feature.

Currently my config looks like this, followed by the dependency graph:

[env:adafruit_qtpy_esp32s2]
platform = espressif32
board = adafruit_qtpy_esp32s2
framework = arduino
test_framework = unity
