Thank you for the update!
I got this error after context --make (macOS, ARM64, ConTeXt 2026.01.07,
LuaMetaTeX 2.11.08):
lua error:
run callback [7]:
...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/trac-inf.lmt:175: bad argument
#6 to 'format' (number expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in upvalue 'format'
...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/trac-inf.lmt:175: in
field 'integer index'
...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/trac-inf.lmt:200: in
field 'show'
...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-run.lmt:61: in
function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-run.lmt:55>
Apparently it fails during some log output. I was able to make the format by
changing line 177 in trac-inf.lmt to:
status.tex_memory_mode or 0,
but I'm not sure what side effects this band-aid might have.
Cheers,
Jacob
