 ## Unreleased
 
+- learn(demo): **`skills/live-demo-autopilot.md` — run the demo live, not as a video**: Playwright drives the real app through scripted scenes, captions carry a WHY line, a control panel lets the presenter pause and take over, redo or skip; plus the traps that each broke a run (trial licence stops the runtime 2–4 h after start, 6-session cap and proving a logout freed its slot by the `System.Session` count, demo sign-in tiles kept out of any deployed build, focus-stealing panel pausing the run, SIGTERM closing the browser before sign-out). Field: a desktop+phone offline manufacturing demo (4/4 scenes) and a three-app process-hub demo (28/28 with an app killed mid-run and an 11 min pause), 2026-10 — Maurits Visser
 - docs(bug-ledger): **32 ledger entries now say what mxcli v0.22–v0.29 changed about them, before anyone re-runs an old workaround**: 22 are fixed upstream per the mxcli changelog or source (among them BUG-121 terminators, BUG-141 workflow PersistentId, BUG-151 `rest call body $Var`, BUG-100 shared Docker stack, BUG-94 role visibility, BUG-128 module-role idempotence) and 10 changed shape or are partly fixed (BUG-154; BUG-04 no automatic module role since v0.27, BUG-WF04/WF05 named call arguments since v0.25, BUG-130/131 vs the v0.27 `exec` rollback). Each gets an "Upstream status" line naming the version, the issue and what to retest; none is closed or archived, because none was retested — the ledger archives only after a retest. Also corrects `BUG-DRAFT-audit-member-access-ce0066`: commit `2455ee9f` first shipped in v0.23.0, not v0.22. Source: mxcli v0.29 compatibility audit 2026-10-30
 - fix(doctor, exec, page-scope, rehost, wf-add-path-terminators, module-close): **mxcli v0.29 compatibility, and doctor advises the latest mxcli**: on v0.29.0 (which `--install` fetches by default) four instruments read new output wrong. (1) `fix property-sets` prints `MIXED` rows and exits 1: doctor reported "could not classify" (rc 4, shown as info by sync) — now result `mixed`, a WARN naming the rows and saying the repair cannot clear them; (2) the repair also exits 1 while a MIXED name remains, so `--fix-property-sets` rolled back a repair that had landed — the apply step now passes when only MIXED is left (FAILED still fails); (3) `fix hashes` now verifies MPR v1 with new text, which exec.sh read as an error, so every `--patch` on a Mendix < 10.18 project went unverified — both v1 forms are read; (4) since v0.28 `SHOW MODULES` / `list modules` write `Protected AddOn|Solution` in Source, so a first-party module set to Protected dropped out of page-scope (FAULT, 0 modules) and out of the rehost module list — the export level no longer counts as an origin. `wf-add-path-terminators.py` refuses below Mendix 10.21 (the terminator type does not exist there; written in, the project will not load), module-close notes that v0.29 `docker check` checks the stored project (a CE0463 it now reports is real), and the stale "stay on v0.24" pin advice is replaced. **New:** the normal doctor run compares the project mxcli with the latest release (redirect of the asset URL, 5 s, nothing downloaded): WARN with release link and upgrade path when behind, a note when `MXCLI_VERSION` pins it, one quiet note offline, never a FAIL; `MXTK_NO_LATEST_CHECK=1` skips it. Golden input captured from the real v0.28.0/v0.29.0 binaries on the mxpatch fixture model and mutated copies (CAPTURE files); against master the new cases fail (exec-hash-verify 4, property-sets 7, mxpatch 1, page-scope-protected 3, rehost-list-modules 1, doctor-mxcli-latest 8). Field run: page-scope and doctor against real v0.29.0/v0.28.0 binaries in a cloud session — mxcli v0.29 audit (2026-10-30)
 - fix(skills): **skill text no longer tells agents that mxcli v0.25–v0.29 cannot do things it now does**: STOP 21 said `ALTER NAVIGATION` does not exist and restatement is the only write — it now points at `alter navigation`/`alter menu` (v0.28, mendixlabs/mxcli#1522) and in-loop `alter microflow`/`replace body of` (v0.29, ako/mxcli#1693), keeping its describe-first rule; STOP 1b now writes the bare `Editable: <expr>` (v0.25) and limits the quoted-form trap to mxcli < v0.28 (#1567); `learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` marks file upload (`filemanager`, v0.27), tab `Badge:` (v0.29), app title (v0.29), role visibility `Visible: roles(…)` (v0.27) and `sidebartoggle` (v0.28) buildable from their version; four `learned-detection-gaps.md` rows (terminators, `if` without `else` in a handler, `Class` on a snippet call, property sets below 10.24.24) and `platform-link.md` now name the mxcli version that fixed them; three passages no longer assume mxcli auto-creates `<Module>.User` (gone since v0.27, #1474). `mdl-scan` STOP-1 now also catches the bare `Visible:/Editable: <expr>` form inside a customContent column (it matched only `[`), since STOP 1b now recommends that form. Nothing deleted: old-version guidance stays, version-gated, because nothing was re-probed. Baseline 64,193 → 64,252 words. Source: mxcli v0.29 compatibility audit 2026-10-30
