I've found that taking a few minutes to double-check the settings and prerequisites before troubleshooting deeper issues can save a lot of time.

I ran into something super similar a bit ago. Double-check that your file permissions didn't reset themselves after the last update - sometimes that causes the whole thing to just hang or throw an error without telling you why. Usually, setting it back to the correct read/write permissions clears it...

I’d also suggest documenting the assumptions and constraints alongside the main analysis, even if they seem obvious at the time. A few weeks later those details are usually what explain why certain decisions were made, and it saves a lot of backtracking when the model evolves.

I had a similar problem before, and in my case it was caused by an outdated dependency/config file. After updating everything and clearing the old cache/temp files, it started working normally again.

Yeah, I ran into something similar before. In my case, clearing the cache and redoing the setup from scratch actually fixed it. Sometimes an old config/file keeps causing the same issue even after reinstalling. Worth trying if you haven’t already.

You could try breaking the problem into smaller steps and testing each part separately - that usually makes it easier to spot where things are going wrong. Also double-check any configs or inputs, since even a small mismatch can cause issues.
