`rename module` not implemented

[retran]

Description

mxcli rename module OldName NewName -p project.mpr returns "rename not supported for MODULE". Module rename with prefix scanning (updating all qualified references) is not available.

Steps to Reproduce

./mxcli rename module Administration Admin -p project.mpr

Result: "rename not supported for MODULE"

Expected

Module rename with automatic update of all qualified references (entity names, microflow calls, page references, etc.).

Severity

Low — workaround is manual rename in Studio Pro.

Issue Triage

Summary:
The issue requests a mxcli rename module command that automatically updates all qualified references when renaming a module in a Mendix project.

Checklist (feature request):

• ✅ Use case – described as needing automated module renaming with reference updates.
• ✅ Proposed syntax or behavior – the command mxcli rename module OldName NewName -p project.mpr is given.
• ❌ Mendix version relevance – not specified (e.g., whether the feature should work for all Mendix versions or only specific ones).

What’s missing:
Please let us know which Mendix version(s) you target with this feature (e.g., does it need to work with Mendix 9.x, 10.x, or all versions?). If you have any additional context about why this is important for your workflow, feel free to add it as well.

Thanks for contributing!
