​Sorry, one other point: yes, you are correct, working from a pre-built
distribution is exactly the question I was asking, and if the only issue is
syncing the IDE files with the development versions, that seems like a
small issue: many of the files at
https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/tree/develop/Toolset/libraries are
months to years from their last update. Ditto for
https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/tree/develop/Toolset/palettes/script%20editor/behaviors.
That
makes it seem as though it would absolutely be possible to work on the IDE in the current 9.x release, with the caveat that merge conflicts would be
*slightly* more likely. ​

Or am I missing something?

Yes - my point about the engine and IDE versions being mutually dependent :)

There is every chance that the develop-9.0 HEAD IDE *WILL NOT WORK* with the release-9.0.0 engine - if you can't run the IDE, you can't edit it, or check your changes do what you want.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
