Accent CMS 0.28.1 — identity for existing pages, and model key warnings

Accent CMS 0.28.1 is available. It is a bug-fix release for the 0.28 line. A licence with a 0.28 ceiling covers it.

Add identity to pages that exist

Accent 0.28 gave each page a stable identity: a uid and an alias. Each creation path mints them for a new page. But a site with existing pages could not adopt uid: { required: true } without hand-written UUIDs.

We added a command that closes this gap:

accent content stamp-identity --model note --alias-from-filename --dry-run

The command mints a uid for every page of the model that lacks one. With --alias-from-filename, it also writes the alias that each file name carries. With --dry-run, it prints the plan and writes nothing. The command never overwrites an identity that a page already has.

Misspelled model keys are reported

A document model with a misspelled key, for example allowd instead of allowed, loaded without a message. The key did nothing, and nothing told you. Now accent validate warns with the key and its place, and serve, build, model list, and new print the same list. The model still loads and still governs, and a build never fails on this warning.

Note: accent validate exits non-zero on a warning. If your models carry an unknown key, validate turns red after the upgrade until you fix the key.

An unknown key in a model’s uid: or alias: declaration is an error, not a warning. It stops the model load with a message that names the key. Before this release, a uid: block that held the alias: keys loaded silently and declared no alias.

Fixes

We also fixed two accent query commands:

• accent query list --fields url,title now prints the selected fields of each page. The filter ran on the pagination envelope and printed {}.
• accent query search no longer panics. This affected the default and the docfind backends.
