Build scripts run with freecadcmd built nothing and stopped with an error after the FreeCAD 1.1.4 update. Agents could not rebuild parts headless without a wrapper of their own. After a rebuild, rotated mounting frames pointed the wrong way, so assembly joints were wrong until someone recomputed twice. In the aqtuator machine repo this broke the joints of two Festo fittings.
