GCAM stops running after adding a policy file #617

Hi,
I'm a beginner with GCAM and trying to analyze different scenarios by adding various policy files to the model. When I add a CO₂ policy file under a no-policy scenario, all packages load normally, but the model automatically stops running. Like:

......
Parsing ../input/gcamdata/xml/water_elec_liquids_limits.xml scenario component.
Parsing ../input/gcamdata/xml/bio_externality.xml scenario component.
Parsing ../input/gcamdata/xml/gas_trade.xml scenario component.
Parsing ../input/gcamdata/xml/prune_empty_ag.xml scenario component.
Parsing ../input/solution/cal_broyden_config.xml scenario component.
Parsing ../input/policy/REF_2025_CO2.xml scenario component.
XML parsing complete.
Starting new scenario: cap
Sun Mar 8 10:41:43 2026:WARNING:Hector::Logger::printLogHeader: hector version 3.2.0
Sun Mar 8 10:41:44 2026:WARNING:Hector::Logger::printLogHeader: hector version 3.2.0
请按任意键继续. . .
d:\GCAM\gcam-v8.2-Windows-Release-Package\exe>

And there is my policy file:

REF_2025_CO2.xml

However, when I add other policy files, they run successfully and produce results. (Like this file can run successfully)

carbon_cap.xml

What could be the issue?
Any input on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
