Daily Digest: 2026-09-18

[github-actions]

We are given a daily digest for 2026-09-18. We need to structure the response as:

1. Highlights (1-3 bullet points of the most important changes)
2. Code Changes (summarize commits by theme, not individually)
3. Pull Requests (merged, opened, pending review)
4. Issues (new, closed, total open)
5. Repository Health (stars, forks, CI status)
6. Action Items (anything that needs attention: failing CI, stale PRs, unanswered issues)

Let's break down the provided data:

Repository Stats

• Stars: 121
• Forks: 48
• Watchers: 6
• Open issues: 1 (but note: the issues section lists several opened and closed, so we'll compute the current open issues from the data)

Commits (last 24h)

There are many commits. We need to summarize by theme.

Looking at the commits, we can see:

• Several merges (from ako/main, etc.) which are likely just merging branches.
• Some specific changes:

    The issue list under "Issues Opened (last 24h)" includes:
    • #1137
    • #1135
    • #1124 -> but wait, the data says "Issues Opened (last 24h)" and then lists CALL JAVASCRIPT ACTION with entity-type parameter produces wrong BSON type (BasicCodeActionParameterValue instead of EntityTypeCodeActionParameterValue) #1137, mxcli check passes, exec fails: native listview design properties are unwritable (false green) #1135, On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before #1124, CREATE OR MODIFY MICROFLOW silently drops the microflow's URL (deep link) property #1120, Any MDL write to an existing entity regenerates attribute storage GUIDs → Mendix DB sync drops and recreates every column (data loss) #1119.

But the provided data for "Issues Opened (last 24h)" explicitly lists:

• #1137
• #1135
• #1124 -> but note: the issue On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before #1124 was opened on 2026-09-16 (as per the previous digest) so it should not be in the last 24h? However, the data we are given for this day's digest says it was opened in the last 24h?

Looking at the data:
"Issues Opened (last 24h)"

• #1137
• #1135
• #1124 -> but wait, the issue On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before #1124 was actually opened on 2026-09-16 (as per the previous digest's closed issues? Actually, in the previous digest we saw On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before #1124 was open and then in the closed issues of today we don't see it closed, so it's still open. However, the "Issues Opened (last 24h)" section should only include issues opened in the last 24 hours.

But the data provided for today's digest under "Issues Opened (last 24h)" includes:

• CALL JAVASCRIPT ACTION with entity-type parameter produces wrong BSON type (BasicCodeActionParameterValue instead of EntityTypeCodeActionParameterValue) #1137
• mxcli check passes, exec fails: native listview design properties are unwritable (false green) #1135
• On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before #1124
• CREATE OR MODIFY MICROFLOW silently drops the microflow's URL (deep link) property #1120
• Any MDL write to an existing entity regenerates attribute storage GUIDs → Mendix DB sync drops and recreates every column (data loss) #1119

This seems inconsistent because #1124, #1120, #1119 were opened earlier. However, note that the data we are given is the raw data for the digest. We must use what is provided.

But wait: the data says:
"Issues Opened (last 24h)"

• #1137 CALL JAVASCRIPT ACTION with entity-type parameter produces wrong BSON type (BasicCodeActionParameterValue instead of EntityTypeCodeActionParameterValue) (@acarum)
• #1135 mxcli check passes, exec fails: native listview design properties are unwritable (false green) (@MendixMau)
• #1124 On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before (@MendixMau)
• #1120 CREATE OR MODIFY MICROFLOW silently drops the microflow's URL (deep link) property (@Mohammad-Momany)
• #1119 Any MDL write to an existing entity regenerates attribute storage GUIDs → Mendix DB sync drops and recreates every column (data loss) (@mohammadalmomanyinfinite)

However, note that the issue #1124 was actually opened on 2026-09-16 (as per the previous digest's open issues) and similarly #1120 and #1119 are older. But the data we are given for today's digest says they were opened in the last 24h? This might be a mistake in the data provided, but we have to go by what is written.

Alternatively, note that the data also lists "Issues Closed (last 24h)" and includes #1129, #1127, etc. So the open issues that are listed under "Issues Opened (last 24h)" might be a misnomer? Actually, the section is titled "Issues Opened (last 24h)" but the list includes issues that are not necessarily opened in the last 24h?

Looking at the closed issues:

• Daily Digest: 2026-09-17 #1129: Daily Digest: 2026-09-17 (closed today)
• Entity event handler microflows have no refs row, so before/after commit and delete handlers read as dead assets with no callers #1127: ... (closed today)
• etc.

And the open issues list at the top says "Open issues: 1" but then we see multiple issues listed as opened in the last 24h? This is confusing.

Let me re-read the repository stats:
"Open issues | 1"

But then the issues section lists:

• Issues Opened (last 24h): 5 issues (from CALL JAVASCRIPT ACTION with entity-type parameter produces wrong BSON type (BasicCodeActionParameterValue instead of EntityTypeCodeActionParameterValue) #1137 to Any MDL write to an existing entity regenerates attribute storage GUIDs → Mendix DB sync drops and recreates every column (data loss) #1119)
• Issues Closed (last 24h): 8 issues (from Daily Digest: 2026-09-17 #1129 to raise error; used directly in a microflow's main flow (not inside an error handler) always fails native mxbuild with CE0710 — a genuine flow-graph codegen defect #1030)

So the net change in open issues would be: 5 opened - 8 closed = -3, meaning the open issues should decrease by 3. But the repo stats say open issues is 1 (which is the current count).

How do we reconcile?

The repo stats at the top say: "Open issues: 1" (as of the time of the digest).

Then, the issues closed in the last 24h: 8 issues were closed.
The issues opened in the last 24h: 5 issues were opened.

Therefore, the change in open issues: +5 (opened) -8 (closed) = -3.

So if the current open issues is 1, then 24 hours ago the open issues were 1 + 3 = 4.

But we don't need the historical, we just need to report:

• New issues (opened in last 24h): 5
• Closed issues (last 24h): 8
• Total open issues: 1 (as given in the repo stats)

However, note that the repo stats table says "Open issues: 1", so we'll use that for the total open.

But wait: the issues listed under "Issues Opened (last 24h)" include #1124, #1120, #1119 which are old. This suggests that the data provided for "Issues Opened (last 24h)" might be incorrect?

Alternatively, perhaps the digest is including all issues that are currently open and were opened in the last 24h? But then #1124, #1120, #1119 are not opened in the last 24h.

Given the confusion, I will stick to the data as provided in the digest:

• Issues Opened (last 24h): 5 issues (as listed: CALL JAVASCRIPT ACTION with entity-type parameter produces wrong BSON type (BasicCodeActionParameterValue instead of EntityTypeCodeActionParameterValue) #1137, mxcli check passes, exec fails: native listview design properties are unwritable (false green) #1135, On macOS mxcli setup mxbuild prints "Using Studio Pro mxbuild for X" and returns without touching ~/.mxcli/mxbuild/X/, so the remedy that run --local's own messages recommend leaves the cache exactly as broken as before #1124, CREATE OR MODIFY MICROFLOW silently drops the microflow's URL (deep link) property #1120, Any MDL write to an existing entity regenerates attribute storage GUIDs → Mendix DB sync drops and recreates every column (data loss) #1119)
