Research direction

Start by reproducing validation with the diagram-only symbol in DCM.bob and trace the techui-builder validation path that reports “Actions group not found in component: None.” Confirm the symbol’s intended behavior, then verify that validation still checks screens while ignoring the actions-group check for symbols that do not open screens.

Description

bug

I added a symbol to DCM.bob just showing a diagram, and in the validation step of techui-builder I got:
[12/10/25 15:20:17] ERROR Actions group not found in component: None
This did not affect the validation of the screen and it could be opened perfectly fine afterwards.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The actions group check is ignored for symbols that are not intending to open a screen
