Anki on Mac intermittently crashing when Add window is open

I’ve struggled to reproduce this issue in vain, but I have noticed it a dozen or more times at least in the past few weeks and assume it was introduced with the current version I am using:

Version ⁨24.11 (87ccd24e)⁩
Python 3.9.18 Qt 6.6.2 PyQt 6.6.1
Sequioa 15.1
Apple M1 Max

If I am adding a new card, sometimes the entire app crashes. I’ve included the logs output following a recent crash below. The triggers have appeared to be various; having a large amount of text on the pasteboard and clicking into a text input has been enough to a trigger a crash in the past, but the issue sometimes seems to have without anything present on the pasteboard, and seemingly without my interacting with Anki at all; another briefly reproducible trigger was command + tabbing back and forth to and from another open application.
