Shortcuts not appearing in Share menu on Golden Gate.

Hello. My shortcuts will not appear in my share menu. I've already made sure that I've switched on the toggle button for each. In Edit extensions it only shows the short cut app. In the share menu, the shortcuts only appear if I click the shortcut icon within the menu but not in the menu individually. I'm on a MacBook Pro 2020, using Golden Gate. It's very frustrating. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

A few pointers, some or all of which you have done…

Shortcuts enabled in System Settings > Login Items > Sharing panel
In the specific Shortcut, its i⃝ > Show in Share Sheet must be enabled
The Receive action must be the same expected file type as you have selected in the Finder for Sharing…

So, in the Finder, when I right-click on a PDF and select Share… I get this popup:

and when I click Shortcuts, I see a new dialog for the only Shortcut that I have set up for Sharing and selected PDF files:

Tested: macOS 27.0.1

The other issue with running Shortcuts from a Finder Share… menu is that any Finder file selection intended as input to the Shortcut is sandboxed to ~/Library/Group Containers… and you will not have access to the originally selected filename.

This is what happens when I click the share menu. It shows the shortcut link. Then when I click it, I get all of the shortcuts. On other words, they are showing up within the the shortcuts app but not as individual shortcuts and I know that's not supposed to happen. I need to know how to change this.
