Upgraded Anki to 25.02.1, Migaku addon to latest, but Chinese deck having issues despite downgrading
On the back of chinese card (type is Simplified), it seems like the parsing (?) is broken.
I tried to downgrade my Anki back to Anki 24.06.3, removed Migaku extension and added it back, and it shows a warning pop up that Migaku addon now works for version 25 and may not work correctly for my downgraded Anki version 24. Even though I've downgraded my Anki version and reinstalled Migaku add on, my Migaku Chinese deck on back card is still having issue.
Note that I am using Simplified card type even though this text is in traditional Chinese, but even on my actual Simplified Chinese card (with Simplified card type, pic 2), the issue still exists.
The reason I choose to upgrade my Anki and Migaku add on is because I saw that Migaku add on is updated, but now I regret updating my Migaku because Chinese deck is broken.

@Migaku Anki Add-On Support tagging Anki team 🙏
Since when I pasted the code for Migaku anki add on and it just decides to get the latest Migaku Anki addon that broke Chinese deck even when I downgraded my Anki version to the previously working version 24.6, would it be possible to separate the Migaku Anki addon? eg. Working version of add on up till 24.6, then from 24.6 onwards use 25.02
Or can I have the addon file that was working for 24.6 for Chinese deck so I can do a manual installation?

Can you export the deck with the broken cards and send it to me? I could have a look to see what’s going on

Just go to Manage note types, select the note type then select Migaku options and enable what needs to be enabled. Everything goes to disabled when updating which is a bad UX but the good news is you can fix it.
And if I remember correctly, Japanese didn't have this issue but Mandarin and Cantonese does.
And you can use the newest anki extension. Don't need to downgrade.

Oh this works! Thanks a lot @Chris LaBonty ! I didn't know it's automatically disabled after updating since I didn't update for a long time
It's ok now, the suggestion by Chris works, may not be a bug after all

No worries, I ran into the same issue.
