• 7ca0d65b4 Merge pull request A page-level actionbutton (outside any dataview) with Action: show_page Page(Param: $Var) silently drops the argument and rebinds every target-page parameter to $currentObject — CE1571 at build #1029 from ako/claude/wonderful-ramanujan-ohxqz9 (Ako)

• 6a48ebf25 Merge pull request The bundled write-lint-rules skill documents action_type/source_type API values that do not exist — rules written from the guide's own examples silently match zero violations #1027 from ako/fix/check-grant-references (Ako)

• #1290 feat(microflow): ADD/REMOVE accept a many-to-many association (closes ADD/REMOVE cannot target a many-to-many association — n:n append is only expressible as a CHANGE set assignment, which silently orphans rows #1288) (@engalar)
• #1289 test: keep cmd/mxcli tests out of the developer's ~/.mxcli/logs (@stagknee)
• #1287 fix: link the runtime into the mxbuild cache with a junction when Windows refuses a symlink (closes On Windows, the first run --local / test --local for a new Mendix version fails: the runtime is linked into the mxbuild cache with os.Symlink, which needs admin rights or Developer Mode #1286) (@stagknee)
• #1285 fix: detect a live process on Windows in the test and dev-loop handshakes (closes On Windows, mxcli test --attach refuses a running app: the handshake liveness check uses Signal(0), which never succeeds there #1284) (@stagknee)
• #1273 test: isolate the home directory on Windows too (closes On Windows, go test ./... writes into the developer's real ~/.mxcli: tests override only HOME, which os.UserHomeDir() ignores there (follow-up to #897) #1256) (@stagknee)
• #1249 feat(run): add --listen-addr so a local app can be reached from the network (@engalar)
• #1238 feat(lint): expose the user role's security flags (@jvegmond-tech)
• #1229 fix(pages): ALTER PAGE/SNIPPET SET RenderMode on a dynamic text (closes ALTER PAGE / ALTER SNIPPET cannot SET RenderMode on a dynamic text ("not a property of this built-in widget") #1228) (@MendixMau)
• #1227 fix(pages): null hidden object-list item TextTemplates under nested visibility rules (closes File Uploader: an allowedfileformat in configMode: 'simple' passes check and exec, then fails mx check with CE0463 — hidden TextTemplates inside object-list items are never nulled #1198) (@MendixMau)
• #1128 docs(lint): correct field value formats in write-lint-rules skill (@jvegmond-tech)
• #865 fix(new): guard unsupported MxToolset output paths (@GG-O-BP)
• #748 deps: bump typescript from 6.0.3 to 7.0.2 in /vscode-mdl (@app/dependabot)
• #744 fix(init): make devcontainer postCreateCommand robust on Podman-on-Windows (init/new: generated devcontainer postCreateCommand fails on Podman-on-Windows (missing file, unguarded chmod) #742) (@kaspergff)
• #740 feat(new): add --container-runtime flag (parity with mxcli init) (@kaspergff)
• #386 docs: add manual test case documentation for all MDL command areas (@retran)

Issues Opened (last 24h)

• #1335 Published OData entity: exposing a cross-module association writes a PublishedAttribute instead of a PublishedAssociationEnd (mx check CE1613; check/exec pass) (@MohamedElNady)
• #1333 check --references passes an entity grant whose entity or module role does not exist; exec then refuses it after earlier statements were written (@ynnckw)
• #1329 show references / search / show callers rebuild a stale source-mode catalog inside the 5m statement guard; the timeout discards the build, so every call repeats it (@kaspergff)

Issues Closed (last 24h)

• #1338 DataGrid 2 column over a system association (changedBy/Name) is written as attribute 'Entity.changedBy/Name' (mx check CE1613; check/exec pass), and no qualified spelling is accepted
• #1337 Mxcli should teach the agent how to work with mx teamserver: use server branches, add commit annotations.
• #1331 Published REST service: no way to set authentication; a non-string property value (e.g. Authentication: microflow M.F) panics the parser (visitor_rest.go)
• #1330 Daily Digest: 2026-10-07
• #1328 @excluded on microflow activities does not seem to work anymore
• #1326 Concatenation inside an XPath function argument (starts-with(Name, 'MS-' + $Key)) passes check; mx check CE0161 (follow-up to MDL091)
• #1325 Retrieve XPath comparing an attribute with a variable of another type (enum vs String, String vs DateTime, Integer vs String) passes check; mx check CE0161
• #1324 Button directly inside a data view that passes that data view by its widget name ($dvName) passes check/exec; mx check CE0117
• #1323 set $Obj = $Other on an object variable passes check and exec; mx check CE7247 "does not have a primitive type" (list case fixed by clear $List; and Change list Replace round-trip; explain set task outcome literal ako/mxcli#949)
• #1322 validation feedback $Obj/ with an unqualified association name is stored as an attribute reference (mx check CE1613; check/exec pass)
• #1321 Boolean constant: DefaultValue: true is stored as "true", which Studio Pro shows as False while the runtime reads true
• #1317 Forms$MicroflowParameterMapping written via Expression (not Variable) omits the Variable key, crashing Studio Pro's Changes panel (same root cause as Studio Pro crashes when opening Changes details after ALTER ENTITY ... MODIFY ATTRIBUTE #1180)
• #1297 View entity selecting a non-localized DateTime is always written as localized: check passes, mx check gives CE6770 (no MDL way to declare LocalizeDate)
• #1291 make test has no -timeout, so mdl/linter trips Go's 10m default and reads as a failing test
• #1263 datepicker DateFormat cannot be set from MDL: DateFormat: Time passes check and is silently dropped (always 'Date')
• #1217 Lint CONV011 (NoCommitInLoop) misses CHANGE … COMMIT (and CREATE … COMMIT) inside a loop; only a separate COMMIT activity is flagged
• #1216 check E006 false positive: parseDateTimeUTC() with a default value (3 arguments) is rejected, but Mendix accepts it (mx check 0 errors)
• #1209 Cross-module association: ON DELETE behaviour and ERROR_MESSAGE are not written (CREATE, CREATE OR MODIFY and ALTER), runtime then fails with None.get
