Quick question before I begin: are you using any especially "interesting"

pagecolumns, bidirectional text, etc. I haven't tested lwc with every
possible ConTeXt feature, so there may be some adverse interaction. If

Right now with LMTX, the only way to install modules is to manually copy

A not-useful answer:

Hi Hans,
There's an uncommented linebreak in the definition of
\pack_framed_text_start that's introducing an unwanted space just before
\startframedtext.
Minimal example:
\showmakeup[space]
\starttext
\hbox{.\startframedtext.\stopframedtext}
\stoptext

Hi Hans,
Font expansion (hz) seems to be enabled by default with the latest
upload.
If I compile this document locally with ConTeXt "2022.11.18 13:22":
\showframe

% \usetypescript[modern-base]

It's not just in the PDF though, I can also see the change from Lua.

for details on how to use it.

Hi Jan,

Because something like
${\mathbb N} = \{1,2,3,4,\dots\}$
would look quite bad without any space between the numbers.
(The technical reason is that commas have the math class \mathpunct,
meaning that

Hi Hans,
Using node.setglue in LuaMetaTeX sets all of the glue components to
zero.
This example:
\startluacode
local stretch_order = "stretch_order"
local shrink_order = "shrink_order"
if status.luatex_engine == "luametatex" then
stretch_order = "stretchorder"
