QA update for n98-magerun2

Since v10.0.0 we added 76 new tests (PHPUnit test methods + BATS functional test cases).

64 of those are new for v10.1.0; the other 12 were added in intervening patch releases.

The 64 tests for 10.1.0 cover:

55 database compatibility and dataset/build tests
4 fast DI compiler tests
4 global/MCP command-disabling tests
1 positional email-recipient test

Counts represent test methods and BATS test cases; data-provider variations and extra assertions in existing tests aren’t counted separately.

Reset Adobe Commerce Admin passwords after the StyleSmuggler patch

Christian Münch — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Following the StyleSmuggler patch rollout, Adobe's remediation guidance includes rotating all Admin panel passwords as part of a broader credential-rotation process. For shops with many admin accounts, this can be a time-consuming operational step.

Christian Walter and the valantic Magento team published an n98-magerun2 add-on to help: admin:user:force-password-reset.

Preview the selection first

The command selects active Admin users by default. Run a dry run before changing anything:
n98-magerun2 admin:user:force-password-reset --all --dry-run
Review the accounts in the output. When ready, the reset can be confirmed explicitly; sending Magento's standard password-reset email is an opt-in option. The command assigns a cryptographically random password, marks the account for a new password, and never displays or emails that generated password.

Composer package

The add-on is available as n98/magerun2-addon-admin-password-reset on Packagist. The repository README documents the Composer installation and the extra step to link the package into n98-magerun2's module directory.
GitHub: https://github.com/netz98/magerun2-addon-admin-password-reset
Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/n98/magerun2-addon-admin-password-reset
This tool handles the Admin-password step only. It does not replace Adobe's other remediation actions, such as rotating encryption keys, integration tokens, and other potentially exposed credentials.
Thank you, Christian Walter and the valantic Magento team, for publishing this useful command.

Playing with jev in n8n (OpenRouter + Opper AI) for faster decision workflows

Title: Playing with jev in n8n (OpenRouter + Opper AI) for faster decision workflows

Body:Today I played with jev and routed it via OpenRouter + Opper AI in my homelab n8n.I optimized two workflows where I used OpenAI 5.6 Luna in a decision process — that’s exactly the kind of case where jev shines: fast decisions.It’s cheaper and much faster, and structured output doesn’t need a separate “structured output parser”. I still didn’t manage to get down to 1¢ per run though.I already see many more ways to make LLM-based processes cleaner with jev. Also watching the new alternatives in the AI world — it’s wild how fast everything moves.

Planning database migrations or version upgrades in Magento/Mage-OS setups often means cross-referencing compatibility matrices, release notes, and EOL calendars. To make this frictionless, I’m currently wrapping up a major addition to n98-magerun2: PR #2158 introduces the read-only db:compatibility command.

What it does: It automatically checks whether your installed (or target) Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce, or Mage-OS release is officially supported on your current MySQL or MariaDB engine.

Key technical highlights:

• Dedicated Mage-OS Detection: Detects Mage-OS as its own first-class product with its own versioning (e.g., 3.0.0), rather than silently treating it as plain upstream Magento.
• Schema-Validated & Live-Enriched: Backed by a versioned dataset generated from magento.watch (no hand-authored guesswork). Running with --online fetches real-time updates directly.
• MariaDB Lifecycle Data: Enriches status, support type, and EOL dates on the fly via the MariaDB Foundation REST API—kept strictly separate from the compatibility verdict.
• Automation & CI Friendly: Clean standard CLI output by default, verbose (-v) breakdown with full citations/lifecycle tables, and comprehensive --format=json export.
• Robust Pipeline: Bundled dataset validation via JSON Schema in build.sh, complete with atomic refresh logic and agent maintenance skills (.agents/skills/).
