Topic: Links generated for Permalink PID are missing separator

I am having trouble with my Permalink PID setup again. Due to historic reasons (https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/10564 ) I have a legacy provider and a new permalink provider set up as follows:

{
  "status": "OK",
  "data": {
    "perma1": {
      "id": "perma1",
      "label": "PermaLink",
      "protocol": "perma",
      "authority": "thz",
      "separator": "/",
      "shoulder": "ds-",
      "identifierGenerationStyle": "randomString",
      "datafilePidFormat": "DEPENDENT",
      "managedSet": "",
      "excludedSet": ""
    },
    "legacy": {
      "id": "legacy",
      "label": "legacy",
      "protocol": "perma",
      "authority": "thz-",
      "separator": "",
      "shoulder": "ds-",
      "identifierGenerationStyle": "random",
      "datafilePidFormat": "DEPENDENT",
      "managedSet": "",
      "excludedSet": ""
    }
  }
}

On Dataverse 6.2 this worked fine, but somewhere during the Update to 6.6, the links pointing to datasets as well as in citation suggestion do not contain the "/" anymore:

https://my.dataverse.de/citation?persistentId=perma:thzds-FOOBAR
instead of
https://my.dataverse.de/citation?persistentId=perma:thz/ds-FOOBAR

When I add the slash to the URL manually I can still access the dataset, but all links used in the interface do not work. Does anyone have an Idea what is going wrong here?

Right. The shoulder. Hmm.
