Could anyone help with how to fix this? Here’s the code, it is from the BLE categories from the ESP32-C3 example

You should not be too impatient. Those in the know might be sleeping; give it 24 hours to go around the world.
I did successfully compile your sketch for an ESP32C3 Dev Module; which board did you select (so we can test)?
Two things stand out in your compile output
I've never seen esp32_family but that is not the holy grail; for my compile output the first few lines are
FQBN: esp32:esp32:esp32c3
Using board 'esp32c3' from platform in folder: C:\Users\bugge\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\3.3.2
Using core 'esp32' from platform in folder: C:\Users\bugge\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\3.3.2
Note the reference to esp32c3.
{build.partitions} should have been replaced by the verify (copile) process by something else. In my compile output
cmd /c if not exist "C:\\Users\\bugge\\AppData\\Local\\arduino\\sketches\\ACE393BB60D878A98AFF2CDDFD5EEC31\\partitions.csv" COPY "C:\\Users\\bugge\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\esp32\\hardware\\esp32\\3.3.2\\tools\\partitions\\default.csv" "C:\\Users\\bugge\\AppData\\Local\\arduino\\sketches\\ACE393BB60D878A98AFF2CDDFD5EEC31\\partitions.csv"
These two things lead me to believe that the installation of the ESP32 platform might be corrupt.
You can try to downgrade the board package to e.g. 3.3.1 and see if that solves the problem. If so, you can next upgrade it again.
I have esp32 version 3.0.7 installed. Right near the top of Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/3.0.7/boards.txt

Note the hide=true. It's a little stub with a bunch of stuff missing, not just the build.partitions. The comment describes its actual use.
The second board is the only other one with hide=true, in 3.0.7 at least.
Apparently accidentally (or incompletely) unhidden in 3.3.2
