+# Agent Instructions for @sasjs/core
+
+Follow these rules when editing or generating code for the @sasjs/core SAS macro library.
+
+## Project Context
+This repo is the SASjs Macro Core library — a collection of MIT-licensed, production-quality SAS macros for SAS application development.
+
+## Versioning
+- NEVER bump or modify the version in `package.json`.
+- Versioning is handled entirely by the CI/CD pipeline using semantic-release.
+
+## SAS Style & Standards
+- Read and follow the standards documented in `README.md` (Sections: Components, Standards, File Properties, Header Properties, Coding Standards).
+- Read and follow `.sasjslint`:
+  - No trailing spaces.
+  - Requires a Doxygen header on every macro (`@file`, `@brief`, etc.).
+  - Lowercase file names without spaces.
+  - Lowercase macro names.
+  - Macro definitions must use parentheses, e.g. `%macro x();` not `%macro x;`.
+  - Indentation = 2 spaces (or multiple thereof); no tabs.
+  - Max line length 300.
+  - No gremlins / invisible characters.
+- One macro per file; filename must match macro name.
+- Macro *calls* should NOT be terminated with a semicolon. Use `%my_macro()` not `%my_macro();`.
+- Macro variables must always be local, to prevent scope leakage.
+
+
+## Build / Generated Files
+- Do not run the build script locally; it is executed in the CI/CD pipeline.
+- Generated files, including the consolidated `all.sas`, the per-folder `mc_*.sas` files, and the LUA macro wrappers in the `lua` folder, can generally be ignored unless the pipeline requires an update. Do not edit generated files by hand.
+- run sasjs lint after each change

 Much quality. Many standards. The **Macro Core** library exists to save time and development effort! Herein ye shall find a veritable host of MIT-licenced, production quality SAS macros. These are a mix of tools, utilities, functions and code generators that are useful in the context of [Application Development](https://sasapps.io) on the SAS platform (eg https://datacontroller.io). [Contributions](https://github.com/sasjs/core/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) are welcome.
@@ -201,7 +199,7 @@ When contributing to this library, it is therefore important to ensure that all
 - All dataset references must be 2 level (eg `work.blah`, not `blah`). This is to avoid contention when options [DATASTMTCHK](https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000279064.htm)=ALLKEYWORDS is in effect, or the [USER](https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/lrcon/n18m1vkqmeo4esn1moikt23zhp8s.htm) library is active.
 - Avoid naming collisions! All macro variables should be local scope. Use system generated work tables where possible - eg `data ; set sashelp.class; run; data &output; set &syslast; run;`
 - Where global macro variables are absolutely necessary, they should make use of `&sasjs_prefix` - see mp_init.sas
-- The use of `quit;` for `proc sql` is optional unless you are looking to benefit from the timing statistics.
+- The use of `quit;` for `proc sql` is essential, to avoid `WARNING: You cannot disconnect or terminate session XXXX until the procedure completes.` when terminating CAS sessions in Viya.
 - Use [sasjs lint](https://github.com/sasjs/lint)!

+  @file mv_castabload.sas
+  @brief Checks if a CAS table is loaded; if not, loads and promotes it
+  @details Runs in SPRE against an active CAS session.  Accepts a
+    SAS libref, derives the CAS caslib and session UUID from
+    sashelp.vlibnam, then checks whether the table is already
+    in-memory.  If not, locates the owning CAS server via the
+    casManagement REST API, queries the table endpoint to discover
+    the source file and caslib, then loads and promotes the table.
+
+    A CAS session must already be established by the caller, eg:
+
+        cas mysess;
+        libname mylib cas caslib=Public;
+        %mv_castabload(lib=mylib, table=BASEBALL)
+
+  @param [in] lib=    SAS libref for the CAS caslib
+  @param [in] table=  Name of the CAS table to load
+  @param [in] mdebug= (0) Set to 1 to enable verbose logging:
+                        - echoes resolved parameters
+                        - prints tableExists result
+                        - enables mprint/notes during PROC calls

+  @brief Appends a text file to a SASjs Stored Program, Viya SAS program, or
+    SAS 9 Stored Process
+  @details Extracts the source code from a SASjs Stored Program, Viya SAS
+  program (file in SAS Drive), or SAS 9 Stored Process, appends the contents
+  of a provided text file, then deletes and recreates the target item with the
+  combined content.
+
+  This is useful for dynamically modifying deployed programs, for example to
+  add test-specific configuration or runtime settings.
+
+  Usage:
+
+      %* compile macros ;
+      filename mc url
+        "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sasjs/core/main/all.sas";
+      %inc mc;

+      filename append temp;
+      data _null_;
+        file append;
+        put "libname mylib '/some/path';";
+      run;
+
+      %* append to existing program;
+      %mx_append2pgm(/Public/app/common/settings, inref=append)
+
+  @param [in] loc The full path to the Viya SAS program, SAS 9 Stored Process,
+    or SASjs Stored Program in Drive or Metadata, WITHOUT the .sas extension
+    (SASjs only)
+  @param [in] inref= (0) Fileref pointing to the content to be appended to the
+    target program.
+  @param [in] mdebug= (0) Set to 1 to show debug messages in the log
