Compilation error: char[] vs byte[] mismatch for getPatternDefinition() / setPatternDefinition() during bootstrap

Hello all,
I’m running into a strange compilation issue during bootstrap on AZ-neo-3.12q.
Only on my local, the generated code is giving me char[] instead of byte[] for patternDefinition, and that leads to these errors:

The errors come from:

• RecurringDataHelper

• SimpleRecurrencePatternHelper

• and the model rows (SiteRecurrenceDataRow, SiteRsrcRecurrenceDataRow)

What’s confusing is — my teammates don’t see this issue. Their codegen still produces byte[], but mine suddenly switched to char[].

Has anyone seen this before?
Is there some local codegen/XSD/JAXB cache or config that could cause datatype differences during generation?

Any pointers on where to check or what to clean/reset would really help. 🙏

here are the logs
