! Argument of \language@active@arg" has an extra } in a tikz-cd diagram

Question

I am trying to insert a tikz-cd diagram which I have previously drawn in Obsidian into my TeX document. The code including the diagram is:

\begin{equation*}
    \begin{tikzcd}[scale=3]
        \mathcal{A} \otimes \mathcal{A} \otimes \mathcal{A} 
            \arrow[r, "\nabla \otimes \text{id}"] 
            \arrow[d, "\text{id} \otimes \nabla"] &
        \mathcal{A} \otimes \mathcal{A} \arrow[d, "\nabla"] \\      
        \mathcal{A} \otimes \mathcal{A} \arrow[r, "\nabla"] &
        \mathcal{A} 
    \end{tikzcd}
\end{equation*}

I get the following error:

Argument of \language@active@arg" has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
l.100 \end{tikzcd}
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
Runaway argument?

My preamble:

  numberstyle=\small\color{mygray},
}
\lstset{escapechar=@,style=customc}
\newcommand{\HRule}{\rule{\linewidth}{0.5mm}}
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{definition}{Определение}

Googling this error, I've come across an answer recommending finding some substitute for the " symbol. However, I have no idea how am I supposed to substitute " in a tikz-cd diagram.

P.S. This is my first time using tikz-cd in a TeX document, and not inside the Obsidian environment, so errors in my use of tikz-cd are also possible.

You want to load the TikZ library babel.

By the way, times is obsolete and actually does nothing at all when Cyrillic is involved. The package tempora has support of a Times-like Cyrillic font; I also load newtxmath for Times-like math symbols.

Also \text{id} is wrong and should be \mathrm{id}.

Change the order of package loading: hyperref should be last. No need for either cmap or inputenc.
