haul init stuck on updating Babel configuration

Description

When trying to setup Haul in an existing project, the haul init command gets stuck at the second step (updating Babel config). I believe this may be due to my project using the JSON version of the config via babel.config.json.

Here's the content of my Babel configuration file:

{
    "presets": [
        "module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"
    ],
    "plugins": [
        [
            "module-resolver",
            {
                "root": [
                    "./src"
                ],
                "extensions": [
                    ".ios.ts",
                    ".android.ts",
                    ".ts",
                    ".ios.tsx",
                    ".android.tsx",
                    ".tsx",
                    ".jsx",
                    ".js",
                    ".json"
                ],
                "alias": {
                    "@assets": "./src/assets",
                    "@components": "./src/components",
                    "@contexts": "./src/contexts",
                    "@env": "./src/env",
                    "@hooks": "./src/hooks",
                    "@layout": "./src/layout",
                    "@lib": "./src/lib",
                    "@localization": "./src/localization",
                    "@models": "./src/models",
                    "@navigation": "./src/navigation",
                    "@network": "./src/network",
                    "@primitives": "./src/primitives",
                    "@screens": "./src/screens",
                    "@scripts": "./src/scripts"
                }
            }
        ]
    ]
}

Reproducible Demo

Create a new React Native app by using react-native init and instead of using the conventional babel.config.js, replace it with babel.config.json.
