Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix: stabilize integration CI baseline

Symptom: all open PRs against main failed the shared build-and-test job in
make test-integration, even when their local build/test/lint validation passed.
The failures reproduced on origin/main, so they were baseline CI instability
rather than PR-specific regressions.

Root cause: TestWatcherDebounce could allow stale timer callbacks to send an
extra message under slow scheduling, nanoflow integration fixtures used MDL
syntax that no longer matched the grammar, and the doctype mx-check harness did
not classify known page/nanoflow showcase consistency errors as expected
limitations.

Fix: guard watcher debounce callbacks with a generation counter, tighten the
watcher burst test, update nanoflow fixtures to current MDL syntax, and extend
the known consistency-error allowlist for showcase-only limitations.

Tests: make build
Tests: go test ./cmd/mxcli/tui -run TestWatcherDebounce -count=20 -v
Tests: ./bin/mxcli check mdl-examples/doctype-tests/02b-nanoflow-examples.mdl
Tests: go test -tags integration -count=1 -timeout 30m ./mdl/executor -run 'TestRoundtripNanoflow_(Loop|EnumParameter|Annotations)|TestMxCheck_DoctypeScripts/02b-nanoflow-examples.mdl|TestMxCheck_DoctypeScripts/03-page-examples.mdl' -v

Tests: make lint-go

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] fix: address merged microflow review followups

1. Manual while-true detection over-triggered when the only continue lived
   inside a nested loop. The continue scan crossed loop boundaries while the
   break scan did not, so the outer while could be rebuilt as a manual
   back-edge. Stop the continue scan at nested loops and add a regression test.

2. Owner-both reverse retrieves feeding add/remove-to-list were still treated
   as object-only consumers. The list pre-scan ignored AddToListStmt and
   RemoveFromListStmt target lists, so AssociationRetrieveSource could be
   suppressed. Track those list consumers and add coverage for the helper.

3. Direct nanoflow describe did not set the return-value render context used
   by EndEvent formatting. Thread the wrapped nanoflow return type through the
   formatter so value-returning nanoflows do not emit bare return; for empty
   EndEvents.

Also folds in low-risk review followups: commit-action writer coverage,
change-object refresh negative coverage, download-file formatter coverage,
reverse-retrieve name validation tightening, and documentation for
MXCLI_EXEC_TIMEOUT.

Tests: make build
Tests: make test
Tests: make lint-go

Closes #404.
Closes #405.
Closes #406.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] fix: honor UseReturnVariable when emitting call-action
 assignments
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

formatAction emitted `$Var = call microflow/nanoflow/java/javascript/external`
whenever the action's ResultVariableName/OutputVariableName was
non-empty, ignoring UseReturnVariable. Studio Pro stores the
variable name as a UI fallback even when UseReturnVariable=false
(the action discards its return), so re-exec of described MDL
introduced phantom output variable declarations.

Symptom: microflows with two call actions pointing at the same
sub-microflow/Java action, both with UseReturnVariable=false but
both carrying the same ResultVariableName, round-tripped as two
declarations of the same output variable, triggering CE0111
"Duplicate variable name" in Studio Pro.

Fix: emit the `$Var = ` prefix only when UseReturnVariable is true.
Applies to MicroflowCallAction, NanoflowCallAction, JavaActionCallAction,
JavaScriptActionCallAction, and CallExternalAction.

Existing tests that relied on the old behavior now set UseReturnVariable
explicitly — they were exercising the wrong BSON shape.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] fix: parse explicit Java action void returns as void

Symptom: CI failed in TestMxCheck_DoctypeScripts/empty_java_action_argument.mdl because a Java action declared as RETURNS Void was written as an entity return type named .void, and Studio Pro reported CE1613.

Root cause: the generic data-type visitor treats bare qualified names as entity/enumeration references. Java action return types reused that generic path, so the explicit Void spelling became a qualified name instead of ast.TypeVoid.

Fix: add a Java-action return-type wrapper that maps unqualified Void to ast.TypeVoid while leaving generic data-type parsing unchanged for parameters and attributes.

Tests: added visitor coverage for explicit RETURNS Void; verified mxcli check for the doctype fixture and the targeted integration subtest that failed in GitHub Actions.
