Publish is missing link in output

Describe the bug
I had previously published a gif successfully and received a link for my README. I recently made changes to the project and wanted to regenerate and re-publish the new gif; however, when I run publish I now get the following output, which is missing a link:
Share your GIF with Markdown:
![Made with VHS]()
Or HTML (with badge):
<img src="" alt="Made with VHS">
<a href="https://vhs.charm.sh">
<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/vhs/badge.svg">
</a>
Or link to it:I have tried using both vhs --publish <path_to_cassette> and vhs publish <path_to_gif>.
One thing to note is that I also recently upgraded my MacOS from 26.2 to 26.3. I tried uninstalling vhs and dependencies and re-installing but got the same result. FWIW regenerating the gif seems fine. I am able to preview the generated gif without issue.
Setup Please complete the following information along with version numbers, if applicable.
- OS:
MacOS Tahoe 26.3 - Shell:
