Invalid URL error when running sugarcoat pipeline on any public url

[AndreiCBogdan]

I have managed to install the sugarcoat tool and download the paragraph binary successfully but I'm having issues with actually using the tool on any url.
I am using the command in the readme:
npm run sugarcoat-pipeline -- -b <PATH_TO_PAGEGRAPH_BINARY> -u <URL> -t <SECS_TO_RUN_PAGEGRAPH> -l <FILTERLISTS>

This command opens the given url in brave without any issues but the tool later fails with an 'Invalid URL' message on the terminal, weirdly I don't think any error is thrown.

I have tried to search for 'Invalid URL' throughout the code and the only place I could find it is jammed in a pagegraph graphml file which looks impossible to decipher.

Device:
MacbookPro Intel
OS:
macOS Monteray

Any guidance or ideas are much appreciated.

The initial hypothesis around the error was that the PageGraph crawler was not working, however, I have separately generated the GraphML files and parsed them into the sugarcoat pipeline using the -g flag and still receiving the error.
