automations lose SmartLife actions automatically

[jorbel]

Starting around March   2026, any action in my automations that references a SmartLife scene or routine gets deleted on its own — without me touching anything. The automation trigger and other actions stay intact, but SmartLife-linked actions disappear after saving or shortly after.

Steps to reproduce:
1.⁠ ⁠Create an automation with a SmartLife scene as an action
2.⁠ ⁠Save the automation
3.⁠ ⁠Reopen — the SmartLife action is gone

Other users on Reddit (r/googlehome) are reporting the same issue. Relinking SmartLife is only a temporary workaround.
