XD 44 :Library components not updating and freezing when clicked on linked assets

I've just spent weeks preparing to migrate my linked assets to a library only to find that several links to said library are broken (i.e. appearing as red links) and that the library isn't updating even though it says it has and that XD freezes when I touch a linked asset.

My setup:

MacBook Pro 15-inch

Big Sur, v. 11.6

XD v. 44.0.12.7 x64, Creative Cloud Sync 4.21.0.14

I created my library by making everything in the source document local. Then I published my library. I did this all by D-Day (21 SEP '21).

I opened a document that uses those components. I saw a notification at the bottom that said the document had linked assets that had been updated to use the library (or similar message). Some of them show as blue links that need updating, some show as normal links (i.e. grey links), and some show as broken links (i.e. red links).

Why the red links when some of those were brand new components created in the source library doc (as opposed to ones that already existed and were made local)?

Why don't the updates I just made and published to a component in the library show up when I drag the component from the library panel (from the source library, not the Document Assets) to the canvas? I added a state and that state is nowhere to be found despite the fact that the system confirmed the update and republish of the library.

Why does XD freeze when I click into a linked asset either on the canvas or in the library panel (Document Assets)? I can't right-click to update anything because it freezes. I can't replace anything because it freezes.

NOTE: I had issues with my library before and followed instructions in this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd-discussions/unlinked-error-on-main-component-in-main-document-in-xd-42-1-version/m-p/12361690#M55049 to get my library not to show any broken links by making everything local.
