Description
Several hidden/obsolete blocks no longer work, breaking compatibility with older projects that rely on them:
- for-each, pen shade, counter, and the loud? boolean previously worked and are now broken.
- user id, align scene, scroll right, scroll up, x scroll, and y scroll are also broken. These are legacy blocks that were already non-functional, so the impact is lower, but it would be nice to keep them working.

Start by locating the implementations and compatibility handling for the listed hidden and obsolete blocks, then reproduce the failures with older projects that use them. Done means for-each, pen shade, counter, loud?, and the other named legacy blocks work again without breaking existing projects.
