mxcli Daily Digest – 2026‑06‑20

---

1. Highlights

• Pop‑up dimension support – CREATE PAGE and ALTER PAGE can now set width, height, and resizable flags (Issue 661).
• Dynamic text binding fixed – DYNAMICTEXT attribute bindings inside LISTVIEW are no longer dropped (Issue 650).
• Entity GUID preserved on ALTER – ALTER ENTITY ADD ATTRIBUTE keeps system members like createdDate (Issue 657).

2. Code Changes (by theme)

• Pages – Fixed conditional Visible/Editable expressions (CE0117), honored gallery DesktopColumns + class on pluggable widgets, and added pop‑up dimension handling.
• DESCRIBE – Widened strict‑IDENTIFIER positions for reserved‑word names and quoted them in four more emitters; emitted compound design properties for PAGE/STYLING.
• ModelSDK – Preserved entity GUID on ALTER, added codec‑native reads for scheduled events and JavaScript actions.
• MCP – Rejected page‑level SET with a clear error instead of “widget not found”.
• Docs – Updated skills docs (quote rules, enum visibility, graph‑analysis skill, direct‑insert reload note, MCP verification guidance), added proposal notes on ModelResolver seam and expression type‑checking architecture.
• Features – Ported engalar’s expression type‑checker package; added pop‑up width/height/resizable to CREATE PAGE/ALTER PAGE.
• Docker – Cleared message when M2EE call hits a stopped container; auto‑preloaded system libfreetype to avoid libSkiaSharp crash.
• Chore/Deps – Synced vscode-mdl lockfile, bumped @types/node and actions/checkout via Dependabot.

6. Action Items

• Review stale PRs fix #590: rewrite OData example Level 9.1 to use TripPin schema actions #592 and docs: add manual test case documentation for all MDL command areas #386 (both > 30 days old) for relevance or closure.
