On macOS 26.2 (Intel Xeon W, Radeon Pro Vega II 32 GB), Premiere Pro Beta v26.x crashes on launch. First assert: dvacore::config::IsClientNameInitialized(). Clicking “Ignore” triggers a second assert: sClientNameInitialized, and the app terminates. Stable Premiere launches normally. No third-party plugins installed. Beta projects cannot open in Stable due to version mismatch. Likely caused by static init of DebugDatabase / client config.

 

Steps to Reproduce: 

Install Beta v26.x

Launch the app

Expected Result:
App launches normally.

Actual Result:
App crashes before UI loads.
