🤖 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Integration (mcp_server v1.1.0)

• Local MCP Server Engine:
  • Implemented high-performance local MCP server (mcp_server/) supporting JSON-RPC and SSE transports.
  • Seamlessly connects AI coding assistants and agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, custom agents) directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 & Dataverse.
  • Automatic tool registration from plugins via mcp_tools.py contracts across audit_history, cloud_flow, portal_inspector, portal_webapi_auditor, record_transporter, and table_inspector.
  • Service account profile manager (core/service_accounts.py) for automated background access with token security.
  • Dedicated MCP Server control center plugin (plugins/mcp_server/) for port configuration, real-time log monitoring, and connection verification.

---

⚡ Performance & DOM Table Engine (core/ui/dom_table.py)

• Lightweight Pure DOM Virtualized Table:
  • Integrated core/ui/dom_table.py across audit_history, cloud_flow, record_transporter, and table_inspector plugins.
  • Drastically speeds up rendering for large Dataverse datasets with client-side instant search, dynamic column sorting, and pagination without Streamlit re-run overhead.

---

🔄 Plugin Manager & Store Enhancements

• Version Management & Downgrade Support:
  • Added full rollback / downgrade capabilities to specific previous versions via GitHub release tag artifacts.
  • Added automated version verification, release date stamping, and AST validation in plugin management tooling.

DynamicsSuite v1.0.2 — Power Pages Web API Auditor Lookup SchemaName Support

🔷 DynamicsSuite v1.0.2 — Power Pages Web API Auditor Lookup SchemaName Support & Dual Registration

Contributed by BigSceneUK.

---

🛡️ Power Page API Wildcard Auditor (v1.2.0)

• Dataverse Column Casing & Lookup Resolution (@odata.bind):
  • In Dataverse, every column possesses two internal names:
    • Logical Name: Always forced to lowercase (e.g. app_candidate).
    • Schema Name: Preserves the original capital letters (e.g. app_Candidate).
  • OData v4 Navigation Properties: In Power Pages Web API, POST and PATCH requests on Lookup fields require @odata.bind notation (e.g., "app_Candidate@odata.bind": "/contacts({{user.id}})"). Dataverse generates @odata.bind navigation property names from the column's case-sensitive Schema Name.
  • Power Pages Gatekeeper Validation: When incoming payload keys are inspected, Power Pages strips @odata.bind and checks whether the resulting identifier (app_Candidate) is listed in the Webapi/<table_name>/fields site setting.
  • The Fix: Previously, lowercase normalization converted app_Candidate into app_candidate, causing Power Pages runtime Error 90040101 ("Attribute app_Candidate is not enabled"). The auditor now discovers, preserves, and whitelists both names:
    • Lowercase Logical Name (e.g., app_candidate / _app_candidate_value) for GET reading queries.
    • Mixed-case Schema Name (e.g., app_Candidate) for POST/PATCH Lookups using @odata.bind.
• Smart Filter & Metadata Alignment:
  • filter_table_attributes() now retains both lowercase Logical Names and mixed-case Schema Names without lossy case-insensitive deduplication.
  • get_table_attributes() queries and registers Schema Names for all lookup/customer/owner attributes.
  • All recommendation tiers (strict, forms, server) and unprojected wildcard * remediation automatically ensure dual registration for lookups.
  • Payload extraction from JSON.stringify now records both the exact payload key and lowercase logical counterpart.

---

🚀 DynamicsSuite Core Updates (v1.0.2)

• Diagnostics & Feedback: Updated Core version indicator to v1.0.2 in core/ui/feedback_dialog.py.
• Direct GitHub Releases Link: The official web portal at https://bigscene.uk/DynamicsSuite/ now links directly to the latest GitHub release page, eliminating the need to maintain duplicate installer paths.
• Catalog Feeds: Updated root and web portal plugin catalogs with portal_webapi_auditor v1.2.0.

• Cross-Platform Launcher Hardening (start.ps1, start.sh):
  • Enhanced multi-engine resolution (py -3.11, python3.11, python3, py).
  • Added self-healing virtual environment health checks that detect corrupted .venv folders and rebuild cleanly.
  • Robust error handling with clear troubleshooting messages.
• Python Version Locking:
  • Formally pinned .python-version to 3.11 for consistent environment setup across systems.
• UI & Catalog Polish:
  • Fixed feedback dialog links and navigation in core/ui/feedback_dialog.py.
  • Updated catalog metadata and offline bundles in plugins_catalog.json.
