[5e Shaped Sheet] Debugging missing character and Infinite Loop issue

Getting the following in my API screen: Possible infinite loop detected, shutting down. Restarted Shaped Companion API Restarting sandbox due to script changes... Previous shutdown complete, starting up... Spinning up new sandbox... "Starting webworker script..." "Loading 1017 translation strings to worker..."

Any ideas where to find the issue? I can't understand what the matter is/ what to do about it. I am a Pro user, and I installed all items per instruction as a custom script in the manner indicated. I just don't know how to debug the issue, recreate the issue to isolate it, etc.

I would try reinstalling all the scripts from their source code. The sheet worker error has no impact on the script from what I've seen.

It doesn't but things don't work either.  I think it causes the loop at some point, which shuts the sandbox down and has to be restarted.  I haven't gotten Ammo and spell depletion to work for whatever reason.  That's how I found the problem.  I also had to restart the whole game one day as the drag and drop spell/ item to character sheet wasn't working. I'll try what you're saying though

Have you tried installing script and sheet into a fresh campaign to see if the error occurs there?

no but going to.  I'm thinking a static object in the game is causing the issue.  I reinstalled all API code from source and issue is still happening.  My problem is figuring out what it's looking for, since it is changing the ID every time

You should be able to ignore that error message.

If that is so, thanks for solving one of life's deepest mysteries. I have several times gone looking for this "missing character".

IDK what a simple person like me has to say about the things you guys are doing with complex coding, But I'd add a note for Sheet Worker to print something like the following when that line of code is run, to make it's effect seem less ambiguous: ... " Sheet Worker Test: Checking for stray cats... " "Sheet Worker ERROR: Unable to find valid character with ID -LE4VtniSQrEtxyByOzt" " Sheet Worker Test: Found one!  But we planted it, recaptured it, and returned it to the No-Kill Shelter.  You're Safe Now.  Your welcome.  Continue on, nothing to see here ...
