# Weekly Recap: August 21-28

[Read the post](https://stefanmaron.com/posts/weekly-recap-2026-08-28/) · Stefan Maron (Stefan Maron, MVP) · 2026-08-28 · 1443 words · tier community · reviewed (checked by Opus)

> Weekly recap covering AL Runner CI tooling fixes, Linux fast lane pipeline bugs, a major OpenPageInspection browser extension rewrite for cross-browser support, and Azure CLI authentication contributions to the navapi Business Central API client.

## Key points

- AL Runner hit a CI incident where a PR body describing the skip-ci directive ended up in the squash commit and skipped required checks; a pre-merge script now scans PR titles and bodies for it
- The AL Runner changelog generator now understands scoped commit prefixes and keeps the Unreleased section current from commit history
- Linux fast lane fixes: newline-separated directory lists to handle spaces in folder names, compile-only projects with zero tests no longer fail, and a fallback for the moved compiler binary in BC 29 preview
- OpenPageInspection was rebuilt as a WXT project for Chromium and Firefox, triggering page inspection through BC's own Ctrl+Alt+F1 keydown
- navapi gained optional Azure CLI token authentication with identity pinning so users need no stored client secret

## AL objects mentioned

As named in the post. A name that matches one object page by exact type and name links to it; the others stay as named.

- other "AL Runner"
- other "MsDyn365Bc.On.Linux"
- other "BusinessCentral.AL.Language.Tests"
- other "OpenPageInspection"
- other "navapi"

## Context

- Features: scoped commit prefix recognition, continuous changelog generation, directory path handling in pipelines, zero-test project support, cross-browser page inspection, Azure CLI authentication, identity pinning, endpoint search by name or entity type
- Versions: BC 29 preview
