• First‑class GitHub Copilot support added to mxcli init.
• Several fixes: SEARCH token handling, JSON output for SHOW STRUCTURE/SHOW SECURITY MATRIX, diff‑local attribute changes, and REST path validation.
• CI nightly release run is currently failing; dependency bumps for modernc.org/sqlite and go-runewidth merged.

Code Changes

• Dependencies: Bumped modernc.org/sqlite (1.48.1 → 1.48.2) and github.com/mattn/go-runewidth (0.0.22 → 0.0.23).

Repository Health

• Stars: 61 Forks: 16 Watchers: 4
• CI Status (latest runs on main):
  • Daily Project Digest workflow – no status indicated (likely pending/unknown)
  • Nightly Release & Integration Tests – failure (link)
  • AI Issue Review – success (link)

Action Items

• Investigate CI failure: Look into the Nightly Release & Integration Tests failure to prevent blocking releases.
• Review open PRs: Prioritize PRs fix: add 168 missing lexer tokens to keyword rule #186 and fix: improve data container context hints and LSP completion #184 (lexer tokens & data container hints) as they affect core parsing/LSP functionality.
• Triage new issues: Address Create a Custom Page (with a custom layout) containing two areas/placeholders #190 and Generate Overview Page from Persisted Entity- DataGrid 2 is not configure properly #189 (page layout/configuration) and Constant reference round-trip broken: DESCRIBE outputs @Module.Const but parser rejects @ syntax #178 (constant reference round‑trip) which impact usability.
• Verify dependency bumps: Ensure the updated modernc.org/sqlite and go-runewidth do not introduce regressions; consider adding a test if missing.
• Monitor issue count: The open‑issues metric appears stale; consider updating the issue tracker or automation to reflect the true open count.
