For what's worth, running your example in TeXShop on the Mac (with engine ConTeXt.engine, namely "context --autogenerate --luatex --synctex=1 "$1""):
- In TeX Live 2025, no problem, output is produced.
- In TeX Live 2026, I get in the console
mtxrun | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'
Looking further:
- With TeX Live 2025:
% kpsewhich mtx-context.lua
/usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua
% mtxrun --locate mtx-context.lua
/usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua
- With TeX Live 2026:
% kpsewhich mtx-context.lua
/usr/local/texlive/2026/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua
% mtxrun --locate mtx-context.lua
Namely, blank line of output for the latter: mtxrun doesn't find mtx-context.lua in TL 2026. I tried adding --usekpse or --forcekpse, no luck, mtx-context.lua still isn't found.
