Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 monthly summary for modelix.core focused on stabilizing type resolution in the mps-sync-plugin by addressing stub type resolution failures. The fix ensures required modules (MPS_Core and MPS_Platform) are available during type resolution via build.gradle.kts, preventing 'stub type not found' errors and reducing build-time failures. This enhancement improves CI stability, developer productivity, and reliability of the modelix.core build pipeline.
