Extension breaks site when any articles are categorized

Hi, I'm checking out your CommentBox extension for the first time and am seeing a site-breaking problem.
Steps to reproduce:

Create a fresh install of Joomla 5.2.2 on a temporary domain, using PHP 8.2.24
Create two test articles
Mark the articles as Featured so they appear on the default home page
Verify articles are shown on home page
Install CommentBox 1.0.0 via System > Install > Extensions > Upload Package File
Refresh the home page

Expected result: Home page same as before, with CommentBox enabled on the two article pages.
Actual result: The home page, as well as both article pages, now return 404 errors. Disabling the 7 components of CommentBox restores site functionality.
 
Any idea what's wrong here? Is this affecting other users, or does it seem limited to me and/or my hosting provider? (hostinger.com) Does CommentBox perhaps use some unusual function of MySQL that isn't available in MariaDB 10.11.10? (My hosting provider controls the DB software, I can't change it to test that hypothesis.)
Thank you!

Hi Lefteris, thank you for looking into this! Here is the additional information provided by the debug mode:

P.S. I just noticed that I provided an incorrect title for this ticket, I was able to rule out article categorization as a cause while writing the steps to reproduce but forgot to change the title. My apologies for any confusion that caused.

Ah ha, I see — thank you for all your efforts on this problem! I'll look forward to trying the update when it's ready.  :)
You may already know about this, but just in case it's helpful: While testing the suggested workaround, I notice that even though I'm on the Home Page (the default Featured Articles) menu item, the Joomla Breadcrumbs module thinks I'm in "Home / test menu item" ("test menu item" is of type Articles >> Category Blog). That menu item maps to the category of the final article in the Featured Articles list.

I confirm v1.0.2 fixes the issue for me, this ticket can be marked as resolved.  :)  Thank you again for your work and assistance!
