EXECUTE SCRIPT: no recursion depth limit (infinite loop)

[retran]

Description

A script that calls EXECUTE SCRIPT on itself runs infinitely with no depth protection. In 5 seconds it produces 206K+ lines of output before being killed.

Steps to Reproduce

echo "EXECUTE SCRIPT '/tmp/recursive.mdl';" > /tmp/recursive.mdl
echo "EXECUTE SCRIPT '/tmp/recursive.mdl'" | mxcli -p project.mpr
# Runs forever: "Executing script: /tmp/recursive.mdl" repeated infinitely

Expected

Error after a reasonable recursion depth (e.g., 16 or 32 levels): "maximum script nesting depth exceeded".

Suggested Fix

Track script depth in ExecContext or pass a depth counter through executeScript. Reject when depth exceeds a threshold.

Issue Triage

Summary:
The issue reports that calling EXECUTE SCRIPT on the same script causes an infinite loop with no recursion‑depth protection in mxcli.

Checklist for bug report completeness

Required info	Present?	Notes
mxcli version	❌	Not mentioned
Mendix version	❌	Not mentioned
Scenario (what the user was trying to do)	✅	Steps show an MDL script executed via mxcli -p
Expected output	✅	Described as an error after a reasonable depth
Experienced output	✅	Described as infinite repetition and large output
AI bug report (mxcli diag --bundle or session log)	❌	Not provided

What’s missing:
Please add the output of mxcli --version (or the commit/build you’re using) and the Mendix version of the .mpr file you’re processing. Also, if possible, attach a diagnostic bundle (mxcli diag --bundle) or at least the session log so we can reproduce the environment.

Thank you for reporting this – once we have those details we can investigate the recursion‑depth limit.
