SDK fails to upload parameters and menus at random
needs more information
DatGek
sdk ver 3.7.0, all packages up to date.
As title says, seemingly at random the sdk fails to add/include the vrc parameter and/or menu elements. This is also not only affecting myself.
EDIT: It is not an issue just with upload, all avatars are being affected, with some becoming error bots, uploading to a new blueprint id seems to have fixed the issue for me.
EDIT EDIT: New blueprint id is only a temporary fix, turned avatar into an error bot soon after.

This appears to be two different issues, one is the expressions menu issue which is now fixed. The error bot issue though is being worked on and is captured with this post https://feedback.vrchat.com/bug-reports/p/perhaps-after-the-9-12-update-any-valid-avatar-will-randomly-become-an-error-ava

Hi DatGek! Thank you for the report.
Do you know if there's any way to reproduce this bug? Or are there any circumstances where it's more likely to happen?
If not, we'll keep this Canny open to allow other affected users to report similar issues.

Unfortunately other than just uploading an update to an avatar (with or without any changes being made) and flipping a coin, there's not really any distinct method for reproducing the bug, other users were reporting the same exact issue of "menus being deleted/missing", parameters seemed to function more often than not (didn't think to check avatar debug till after posting), but menus were about a 15% chance of working per upload, to complicate the issue further, it seemed that most users were seeing the the avatar with proper parameters & menus, while other users weren't, leading me to think that, 1. they somehow downloaded an incorrect/outdated version of the avatar, or 2. that the problem might not be the sdk itself, but the avatar initialization.
Animator controllers, default menu elements, and default parameters were consistently unaffected.
It should also be noted that "older" avatars were also infrequently being affected, with missing menus and/or defaulting to an error bot, though reloading the avatar a couple times fixes the issue. (edit, meaning an unusual amount of errors in a time span)
so... I'm not quite sure now if it's an sdk, game, or server bug :/

Tried to get it to break again tonight (with a newer blueprint ID) but couldn't, I'll try using the original ID when I have time to test and see if that changes anything.
