`mxcli report` hangs indefinitely after catalog load

[retran]

Impact

mxcli report is unusable — all format options hang forever after catalog load, requiring manual kill.

Steps to Reproduce

./mxcli report -p project.mpr --format json

Process prints "Catalog ready" then hangs indefinitely. No output produced.

Observations

Format	Result
--format json	Hangs after "Catalog ready"
--format html	Hangs after "Catalog ready"
--format markdown	Hangs after "Catalog ready"

Tested on EnquiriesManagement (smaller project) — still hangs.

Expected Behavior

Report output within reasonable time for any format.

Severity

High — feature completely non-functional.

Checklist for bug report completeness

Required info	Present?	Details
mxcli version	✅	mxcli v0.7.0-257-ga07e7e0 (provided)
Mendix version	❌	Not mentioned
Scenario (command/goal)	✅	mxcli report -p project.mpr --format json (and other formats)
Expected output	✅	Report produced within a reasonable time
Experienced output	✅	Process prints “Catalog ready” then hangs; no further output
AI bug report (diag bundle or session log)	❌	Not included

What’s missing:

• The Mendix version of the project you’re testing (e.g., 9.x, 10.x).
• A diagnostic bundle (mxcli diag --bundle) or at least the session log from the hanging run, which would help pinpoint where the process stalls.

Could you please add those details? Thanks for reporting the issue—looking forward to getting it fixed!
