fix(mendix-7,8): wire Mono for the Windows-only mxbuild toolchain - #10
Merged
Conversation
The MX7/MX8 CDN mxbuild tarball ships Windows .NET Framework .exe binaries (no native Linux modeler/mxbuild), so the MX9+-derived Dockerfiles died at the toolchain assert. Add mono-complete + an adaptive step: use modeler/mxbuild if native, else wrap modeler/mxbuild.exe (and mx.exe) via mono, else fail with an inventory. MX9/10/11 native path byte-for-byte unchanged. Verified: docker build :7 (7.23.8) + :8 (8.18.35) succeed; mxbuild --help loads under Mono; a real .mpr build (MoneyWorksPortal MX7/MX8) reaches consistency-check. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

Problem
Building
ontologylabs/mendix-mxbuild:7and:8fails at the toolchain layer: the MX7/MX8 CDN tarballmxbuild-<version>.tar.gzships Windows.exebinaries (.NET Framework) — there is no native Linuxmodeler/mxbuild. Themendix-7/buildandmendix-8/buildDockerfiles were copied from the MX9+ template (native self-contained .NET Core binary): they install no Mono runtime and hard-asserttest -f modeler/mxbuild, so the build dies. MX9/10/11 are unaffected.Fix
