Struggling with extruding a cube

Hi all,
I'm trying to code a feature script to replicate the SCAD BOSL2 joiner component (link). I've been able to create the object manually (link), but for the life of me, I cannot get anything to extrude in my feature script. I've recruited a couple of AI's as well who've been the opposite of helpful, lol.
I have tried to simplify the geometry to a four pointed rectangular feature to try and just get something to extrude, but it keeps failing to generate. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Why do you need to create a custom feature if you can model and configure it?
Hi Neil. I just thought the community would enjoy being able to use them as they print well and are outstanding at closing gaps.
Absolutely, but just share your excellent model 😀
For this kind of thing it's an easier lift to draw a configurable part studio like you have and use the custom Point Derive feature to greeble your geometry into other documents rather than trying to code up a full custom feature from scratch to accomplish the goal. Sometimes I'll use a method I like to call two-point-derives-in-a-trenchcoat to pseudo make custom features that are easy to model and hard to program.
