[ako]

Syncs ako/mxcli:main into upstream: 50 commits from fork PRs ako#1617, ako#1619, ako#1621, ako#1623–ako#1628, ako#1630 and ako#1633–ako#1635, plus ako#1638 (fork tooling).

Most of these work through the clusters on the fork's triage board, one commit per defect. Each has a test that fails with the reported symptom when its fix is reverted.

Fixes #131, #1486, #1487, #1489, #1490, #1549, #1610, #1623, #1627 and #1629. Addresses #610, #1358 and #1612. Refs #1453, #1517 and #1592.

Microflow splices (#1489, #1610, #1517)

Under mdl 1, create or modify / alter microflow refused several changes that touch only one node.

• An activity with a custom error handler can be changed (mdl 1: an activity with a custom error handler cannot be changed in place — create or modify and alter both refuse, and each advises the other #1489). Before, create or modify and alter … replace each refused the change and advised using the other.
• A caption-only change on an if is set in place (MDL-V1-REBUILD refuses a create-or-modify that only adds an @caption to an existing If #1610). It used to be refused as "changes where its paths end or meet".
• Notes (create or modify / alter microflow splice refusals (loop body, used return, earlier alter, variable scope in one alter block) #1517):
  • Notes on a decision or an end event, and free notes, are now added, reworded and removed in place, through the new mutator ops AddNotes and SetFreeNotes.
  • A note is kept on an activity with an error handler.
  • @annotation before @position now says it reads as a free note.
• check -p predicts a flow statement after an earlier change to the same flow. It used to give up on statements that exec then refused.

ALTER PAGE (#1453, #1592)

• New: address a legacy table cell by position, table1 cell(row, column). It can fill, replace and empty a cell, and describe lists a legacy table's cell addresses and contents.
• set (Action: …) writes a container's OnClickAction (alter page cannot change the on-click action of a container: set (Action: …) says "has no Action property", OnClick points back to Action #1592). It used to be refused as "has no Action property". A widget-name miss now names the object-list item addresses.
• A Data grid 2 column SET keeps the dynamicText template it hides or shows. set (ShowContentAs: attribute) on a dynamicText column left the template filled, which gave CE0463.

System module references (#610, #1358, #1612)

• [id = $obj/System.owner] is refused when the entity stores no owner. MDL-RETRIEVE02's own rewrite used to fail the build with CE0161.
• create / change of System.owner is refused, with advice that applies.
• find/filter by System.owner builds. Describe keeps System associations qualified, so a specialization of System.User no longer re-executes by User_Language as an attribute.
• A test runs an association to a System entity end to end.

describe → exec round trips (#1623, #1627)

• A module's own description replays as a no-op. Describe no longer prints a view entity's association as a statement (CE6771), and no longer re-indents a view entity's stored OQL.
• An XML-schema mapping's description no longer drops its root. Replaying it used to print Modified import mapping and empty the root element and every XmlPath. Any other rewrite of such a mapping is refused, naming what it would delete.
• A view query keeps comments before its first and after its last token. OQL comments are gated on Mendix 11.7.
• The SOAP-mapping guard reads the imported web service under its storage key. Before, it never fired on a Studio Pro mapping.

Settings and run --local (#131, #1549)

• alter settings configuration accepts ExtraJvmParameters and sets MaxJavaHeapSize. run --local passes the configuration's JVM options to the runtime.
• create configuration works on 11.12+. It used to be refused for duplicate ids in the copied OpenTelemetry part, and now mints fresh ones.
• alter settings webui sets OptimizedClient, and describe emits it.
• check refuses an unknown alter settings section or key, as exec does.
• describe settings takes no category, only CONFIGURATION 'name'.

Marketplace (#1486, #1487)

• marketplace install / update no longer writes package metadata into the app root. It installs only the files package.xml lists. Before, License.txt and manifest.json landed in the project.
• marketplace diff / update no longer fail with "path too long" under %TEMP% on Windows.

CLI contract (#1490, #1629)

• git note --write no longer loses notes when the reader of stdout exits early. All notes are written before anything is printed.
• docker check no longer says widgets were normalised after update-widgets failed.
• Docs:
  • The 11.6.1 floor applies to docker build only, and check works on Mendix 10.
  • docker check neither downloads MxBuild nor uses Docker. Seven texts said otherwise, and the error a reader of the old docs hits now names mxcli setup mxbuild.

Docs and fork tooling

• Proposal: a 1,771-call build resizes the loop-efficiency estimate. Tool output is 21% of context, not 68%.
• Wiki: syncs of describe-round-trip-gaps, mutator-addressing and package-operations-damage.
• Changelog entries for the splice fixes.
• Refactors in their own commits:
  • MDL-SET01's variable typing moves to flowObjectTypes.
  • The catalog reads click-action keys from types.WidgetClickActionKeys.
• Fork-only tooling: the fork's issue-mirroring script no longer duplicates mirrors on a short listing
