I'm trying to complete the "Navigator/Fk" migrations on the remaining points (those with .CalcolaEstera/.CalcolaBase/.CalcolaCambio) in the files you listed, starting from ProduzioneCiclo_Dettaglio.vb.

Two important things that were wasting my time:

I tried using apply_patch, but in this session I can only write to the workspace (C:\Users\...\Documents\New project). The repo, however, is in D:\LLS\Dev..., so apply_patch fails because it doesn't have write permissions there.
I also got confused with some "typo" paths (Produuzione...) when the correct file is:
D:\\LLS\\Dev\\...\\_BaseData\\Base\\_SystemTable\\ProduzioneCiclo\\ProduzioneCiclo_Dettaglio.vb
What I need to do now (cleanly) is:

stop using apply_patch for files in D:
make the changes with PowerShell directly on D: (as we already did for non-UTF8 files), inserting micro-branches If DB.ParametersData.DATABASE_NAVIGATOR_DEVELOPMENT_ACTIVE Then ... Debug.Assert ... Else ... End If and leaving the Else identical to the original.
Just tell me “ok go” and I’ll immediately proceed to patch ProduzioneCiclo_Dettaglio.vb in the 6 CalcolaBase/Estera points you saw (using _FornitoreFk.Value(Of String)(Function(f) f._Divisa) in the Navigator branch), then I’ll move on to the other files in the list.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

Don't spend tokens if codex is stuck without producing
(This has already happened a few times this week. I would like to receive a token refund from you in these cases.)
