Brave won't load (2022 edition)

Brave has been working normally for 6 months. No recent changes to extensions or anything else. I restarted my m1 mac, when I click on Brave in applications, nothing happens. Brave is up to date Version 1.37.116 Chromium: 100.0.4896.127 (Official Build) (arm64). Mac is up to date: macOS 12.3.1 (21E258). I can run it successfully from the command line, here’s the response I get:

One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
