Need help getting the hints kitten to work in path mode

[vendion]

I want to make use of the hints kitten to select the output of a command like git status and select the file path to be able to feed into another command, like suggested in the docs. When I trigger the kitten with the default key bindings ctrl+shift+p>f I just get a "no matches found" error.

Example output I want to select from:

Error message from the kitten:

Manually running kitten hints --type path --program - in the terminal results in an error as well, so I don't know where to start in debugging this.

Error: You must pass the text to be hinted on STDIN

That should work fine and does for me. Make sure you are running an up-to-date kitty. If you want to manually run the kitten you need to do something like printf "abcd/xyz\nABCD.ext" | kitten hints ...

Hmmm... I'm currently running kitty 0.38.1 and zsh 5.9 as my shell (in case that matters here).
