I am running InDesign Server 2023 for a journal XML based workflow. We load customized templates, place data into placeholders like textframes. after placeing some xml elements i am refreshing the documents 

JSX
 
 
// after placing/moving content
app.documents[0].recompose(); // or document.recompose()

Intermittently, InDesign Server crashes on this recompose() call. It appears related to a document refresh / reflow after moving elements, but I am not certain of the exact cause.
