Hyprland 0.52.1-3 crashes on startup

[rabiescow]

Hello!

I just updated Hyprland this morning, and now that I rebooted the computer I am facing this issue when trying to start up Hyprland.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what(): basic_string::substr: __pos (which is 7) > this->size() (which is 6)
Hyprland has crashed :( Consult the crash report at at ~/.cache/hyprland/hyprlandCrashReport14004.txtfor more information.
fish: Job 1, 'Hyprland' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

I tried removing most of my config to make sure it wasn't causing the issue but still even with a minimal config I get the same error.

Struggling on Niri trying to attach the log file so pasted it in below.

Thanks!
