You can verify in the displayed eigenvalues that there are three unit roots in your model. The reason is you trying to endogenously compute the steady state with the `steady_state`-operator for things that cannot be endogenously determined. See

Take inflation: every percentage point higher steady state inflation will increase the steady state nominal interest accordingly. But any consistent combination of both (via the link the Fisher equation provides) is feasible. You need to pin down one of them by setting the value. The model cannot do this for you.
