I am having some strange difficulty formatting a GPT partition within Sculpt

Hello friends!!

Lately, I've taken to multi-booting a whole bunch of different operating systems on my Thinkpad x250 with my new 1TB SSD for educational purposes. And, I find it very humorous to have such a varied collection of OS's and I enjoy finding ways to get them to play nice with each other. So far I've multibooted Solaris 11, Windows 10, OpenBSD 6.9, Arch Linux, Ubuntu Studio 21.04, Rocky Linux 8.3, Haiku R1/Beta2, in that order, and I've saved the last partition for Genode. I'm using rEFInd as my boot loader.

Here is my gdisk output for my SSD:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.6

Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 1953525168 sectors, 931.5 GiB
Model: CT1000BX500SSD1
Sector size (logical/physical): 512/512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): EEBD44A5-B5DA-7244-965D-F4FB68FCEB64
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1953525134
Partitions will be aligned on 256-sector boundaries
Total free space is 10206 sectors (5.0 MiB)

12 1897924608 1953525134 26.5 GiB 0700 Microsoft basic data

When I attempt to format the final partition from within Sculpt 21.03b, I get a strange error:

I really want Genode to take part in this wonderful collection I've built. I wonder why it won't format?
