psfc unable to be found for vortex-following tropical cyclone case in doubly nested model

My WRF (4.7.1) tropical cyclone case seems to be having an issue where it consistently fails every time the first vortex readjustment is performed. Below are my error and namelist files.
I also made an adjustment to a piece of the dynamics code where I added in a different starting wind profile for the vortex initialization.
I've tried debugging with Claude, and I found that the psfc variable was all zeros.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Hi, the error message shown in the rsl file is:

Code:
-------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
FATAL CALLED FROM FILE:  <stdin>  LINE:     581
time_for_move2: Method failure searching for minimum psfc.
-------------------------------------------

This indicates it's not able to find a specifically low-pressure area in the domain. When you get this error, are you using the wrf code that you modified? If you run this with clean, unmodified WRF code, does it still produce the same error?
