I created a new sketch from scratch and that seems to work which suggests there is something wrong with the "outer walls" sketch. The sketch appears to pass the validation checks.

The Placement of the sketch is the problem, notably the angle (0.63°). The base of a wall must be in a plane parallel to the global XY plane.
Thanks for the feedback ... I thought I checked the angle but I must have overlooked it. Not sure how that happened ... I noticed today the BIM sketcher uses the draft working plane to set the orientation for the sketch so I must have inadvertently skewed the view when I set the working plane.

It is interesting, I remember somehow a rotated sketch should work - it seems to work to some extent
At 15 deg, it works, seems problem at other angles ?
Turn all but 1 edge to construction mode - try keep one in Normal mode which result in a sloping edge
The Wall extrude 'vertically' (z=1) regardless the base edge is sloping
Turn 2 edges to Normal, the Normal of the Sketch - i.e. not z=1 - is used for extrusion direction
Turn some more edges to Normal, OCC may fail
Use SketchArch add-on trying to change some of last edges' individual Align e.g. as screencaptures, it may works again
Indeed. This makes me think it would be helpful if the wall tool should generated a warning message when the plane is not parallel to the global XY plane. Thank you for the feedback.

Care to create an bug report / feature request ?
In addition to a message, better make extrusion works at any angle.
