Significant bug in home automations using shortcuts that require network connection

Trying to get some more support regarding a regression from iOS 26 to iOS 27. Home Hubs in tvOS 27 or HomePod Software 27 do not execute "Get contents of URL" actions on the Home Hub. They fail silently. Actions on the iPhone when executed manually or in the Shortcuts app still work. This is specific to the Home Hub automation side. See here: https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-dummy/issues/483 and here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/significant-bug-in-home-automations-using-shortcuts-that-require-network-connection.2486785/ for more information. Can someone at Apple escalate this issue, clearly this is an unexpected regression given that the Shortcuts functionality still exists within the Home app. Thanks for the help.

HomePod mini, 26
