Was getting this on my 6.11 fork with Discord stable. I checked upstream main and it has the same lookup:
[2026-09-07 03:04:55.892][CONSOLE:WARN] SHC WARN Failed to load ChannelUtils, topics won't be shown.
(betterdiscord://betterdiscord/plugins/ShowHiddenChannels.plugin.js:1036:10)
The plugin still starts normally. It just loses topic display on hidden non-forum channels.
Discord added a GUILD_APP case (type 21) after GROUP_DM, so GROUP_DM:return null!= no longer matches. The renderer is still there: module 353428, export EP, in this Discord chunk.
The old renderTopic filter is identical in upstream and my fork before the fix. This patch is against upstream main:

Logger.warn("Failed to load ChannelUtils, topics won't be shown.");The renderer takes (channel, guild). The length === 2 check avoids picking the title/breadcrumb functions in the same module, which take one props argument.
Tested against the client exports and reloaded my fork: the warning is gone. The existing optional-renderer fallback can stay as it is.
