This morning I have found that charts I could render yesterday without problems
now fail. Nothing has changed in the files or my Lilypond installation since I
last rendered this chart yesterday afternoon. I have no idea what has happened
and am probably missing something terribly obvious (since that seems to usually
be the case).
FWIW MacOS 26.5.1.

any subsequent changes and failed this morning. Here is an MWE:
