Agenda new action responding with 500 status

[royfielding]

This seems to be an odd one, perhaps caused by a recent change to committee-info or the process for reading that file, or maybe something in the December minutes.

I am getting a 500 error from whimsy agenda when trying to generate a new agenda file. That's all I get -- nothing else in the response or logs. I have not seen any errors on other agenda views, and the last meeting agenda seems to be fine.

Server time of an attempt was 2020-12-19T00:51:49.

I checked the changes to committee-info.txt after the meeting (removing Metron and Sentry) and they seem fine. I've also checked the code and everything else I can think of. Next step would be to instrument the view action so that it can tell me where it is failing, but I have no time.
