Issues Opened (last 24h)

• #1272 check -p is 6-7x slower than v0.24.0 on "create or modify" of existing microflows, and the per-flow cost grows with project size (nightly 2026-10-02) (@MohamedElNady)
• #1271 check/exec refuse a retrieve XPath naming an association or attribute that the same script adds to an existing entity ("neither an attribute nor an association", since check --references does not validate XPath in RETRIEVE … WHERE: startsWith() and a bare association "!= empty" pass, then mx check reports CE0161 #1213) (@MohamedElNady)
• #1269 Catalog: domain model, security and service data that lint rules need (@kaspergff)
• #1268 Catalog: widgets have no parent, no class/style and no button confirmation (@kaspergff)
• #1263 datepicker DateFormat cannot be set from MDL: DateFormat: Time passes check and is silently dropped (always 'Date') (@kaspergff)

Issues Closed (last 24h)

• #1267 Catalog: activity properties that lint rules need (error handling, split caption and condition, annotation text, log message)
• #1266 Catalog: activities have no loop containment, so lint rules cannot find actions inside a loop
• #1265 Starlark lint API: expose catalog tables that already exist
• #1264 Daily Digest: 2026-10-02
• #1262 Catalog: page title is a random translation when a page has several languages
• #1245 LSP crashes on didOpen for non-file URIs (mendix-mdl: scheme)
• #1243 GRANT … WHERE keeps a double-quoted name verbatim for most rule shapes — XPath string literal, the access rule silently matches nothing (check / exec / mx check all pass)
• #1218 Scripting with -c: an empty -c "" starts the interactive REPL, and one failing DESCRIBE in a ;-batch silently stops the rest of the batch
• #1202 Lint CONV013 flags handled Java/REST/web service calls, CONV014 misses "on error continue" on actions
• #394 DESCRIBE ENUMERATION emits unescaped single quotes in captions
