I tested this alone in the mods folder with only the base to run with it.
No Hand Mining also shows the same error:

(window title) Error
(window text) Error while loading entity prototype "player" (player): No categories defined.
Modifications: base > no-hand-crafting

Same error here

Idem

To fix this, the last line in data-final-fixes.lua needs to updated to be:
data.raw.player.player.crafting_categories = {"no-hand-crafting"}

(The text in quotes is missing in the uploaded file)

good solution. Thk.
