[Re-Report] Crabby Hermit Won't Give Her Pearl

Even after doing all the necessary Crabby Hermit quests, including the house upgrades, the Crabby Hermit still won't give the pearl. I did 2 fishing quests alongside clearing underwater salvagables, setting up drying racks, planting and fertilizing 8 berry bushes, planting 10 flowers, and giving an umbrella while it was raining, and the Crabby Hermit still demands big fish (which I did give later, however still nothing). At this point I'm sure I'm not missing anything. Here is my previous report on the same issue:

Some points worth noting:

This is a separate gameplay from the one in my previous bug report, meaning this is the second time that this has recently happened. I don't have footage I can share, but I will be keeping my world's files just in case a developer wants to check something.

After clearing the underwater salvagables as the 3rd quest, I trapped the Crabby Hermit with the underwater junk so she wouldn't go to her home during nighttime. After not getting the pearl, I untrapped her, waited her to go to her home and to come back the next day, but this achieved nothing. And still, trapping the Crabby Hermit never caused any issues for me before, so I doubt this is too relevant.

For some reason, even though I was literally hugging the Crabby Hermit when I gave her a heavy Fallounder as the 10th and last quest, she gave me an advert after I gave her an extra 6th heavy, non-seasonal ocean fish just to be sure. Now she is walking around asking me to catch her more heavy fish, which I did, and I still get nothing.

As opposed to the previous bug report, this time, I did wait for the Crabby Hermit to finish her dialogue. However, I finished the 3 house upgrades (as quests #6, #7 and #8) immediately after another, meaning the Crabby Hermit didn't have the opportunity to talk to me inbetween. And I have my suspicions that she didn't register one of the house upgrades as finished, since completing the 5 heavy fish quest again achieved nothing.

If a fix for this issue is not possible in the coming updates or if the team is struggling to find what went wrong, I at least want to kindly ask a developer to acknowledge this issue, because playing the game for around 2 hours and not getting your reward, which by the way is a core item required for the game's progression, is just too frustrating.

Thanks for the time.
