It wasn't clear to me that I needed to create the blank file myself. So I ran bicep build main.bicep and it errored on file does not exist.

TIL about fsutil :)
Is there a single canonical way to do this on windows? seems like there are a lot of options and recommendations out there

No there isn’t. But most of the options are here: https://blog.jongallant.com/2016/11/windows-touch-equivalent/
I like fsutil because it creates a truly blank file, doesn’t require any additional install or bash, and doesn’t have a false negative error message when run
