When trying to open a recently created catalog in LR Classic 15.3.1 it crashes. This happens when opening one specific catalog under Tahoe 26.5.1. Other catalogs open just fine with no issues. 

This happens if I launch LR first then go to ‘Open Recent’ or if I double click on the catalog and try to open it through the finder. It is as if the catalog has been corrupted.

A corrupted catalog is not unheard of. That’s why Lightroom Classic has a catalog backup system. Unzip your latest catalog backup and replace your catalog files with these backup files.
