Error when trying to use assist or conversation process to trigger automation.

[limitless-code]

The problem

Error in logs when I try to use assist to trigger an automation or use "conversation process" to trigger automation with sentence as a trigger. Used to work but no longer working.

The same automation works when using voice PE assistant device, when using key words announce, tell or forecast.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2025.2.5

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

core-2025.1.0

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue
