Research direction
Start with an AL Page containing a QueryCategory longer than 30 characters, then compile and attempt to run it in the cloud as described. Compare the local and cloud behavior and determine where the 30-character constraint should be reported or enforced; done means the invalid value is handled consistently before cloud execution.
