Solved. I found that I had mistakenly written layout as layouts in the config file. Strangely, this worked fine in ruby ​​3.2. I upgraded ruby ​​to version 3.3 today and it went wrong.

Hello @WCY-dt,
I doubt the issue is in Ruby. Basically, the error message means that the top-level jekyll-archives config setting should be a hash of key-value pairs instead of a string. If layouts instead of layout throws that same error, then there is a bug that needs to be fixed. Do let us know if you can reproduce the bug again.
