KNIME AP Core feature 5.5.2.v202509292032

I am caught in an odd loop when I am able to locally run a workflow that seems to somehow be using the KNIME AP Core features extension in particular the error that says this extension is missing now looks like this image attached. However I am when I try to load the extension the option to “finish” the install never appears the platform just hangs. I am on 5.5.1.

The other oddity is this workflow runs perfectly fine even though it says the nodes are missing.

I can’t really share this workflow easily since it is doing API calls to some of our source systems but if anyone has struggled with this circular issue please let me know.

the issue started on our Production Hub once they upgrade to 5.5.2

I just noticed if I try to search for this extension manually it doesn’t show up but the prompt automatically is able to find it. so maybe it is an issue with the download location?
