ExtendScript Error When Creating Color Lookup Layer ("Program Error")

Question

Hello everyone,I'm writing a Photoshop script (ExtendScript/JSX) to automate a color grading workflow. The intended sequence is:Merge all visible layers into a new layer.Create a new "Color Lookup" adjustment layer, loading a specific 3D LUT file.Merge the Color Lookup layer down onto the merged layer.My script fails at step 2, when attempting to create the Color Lookup layer, and returns the following error message:"Error: A general Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. -Could not complete the command because of a program error.Is there a different, more compatible scripting method to create a Color Lookup layer while simultaneously loading a 3D LUT file?Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can offer!

I have attached the code as a .txt file, as it contains over 6K lines. I have made the reference to the 3D LUT cross platform, the rest of the code is verbatim SL recorded. This example uses the default adobe "Candlelight" preset and is for direct application to a raster layer (not adjustment layer).

Forgetting adjustment layers, I successfully tested the direct application of one of the default LUTs from Adobe via the AM code recordered by the SL plugin. It's verbose as it captures the entire lookup table, but it works.
