* Complete AL review knowledge readiness

Fill telemetry and Query coverage, strengthen thin review domains, correct audited content defects, and add deterministic cheap-model evaluation and reference-integrity safeguards.

* Generalize review fixture discovery

Derive smoke cases from the leaf, domain, and paired-sample conventions so new leaves require no scoring-contract changes. Keep only exceptional selection/context overrides and fail when retrieval metadata cannot rank the selected article.

* Preserve published field IDs in sample

Keep the existing Email and Contact Email field IDs unchanged, clarify that the sample represents an independent baseline, and use a local breaking-change rule for the generic smoke evaluation.

* Clarify published field identity rules

State explicitly that a published field keeps its ID, name, and type while a replacement is added as a separate field under an unused ID.

* Align field obsoletion sample baselines

Use Email field ID 3 as the shared baseline so the bad example demonstrates a same-ID rename while the good example retains the original field and adds a separate replacement.

# Treat a published namespace as part of object identity
## Description
AL resolves an object by namespace and name. Once an app ships and dependent extensions compile against that identity, changing the namespace breaks their references even when the object name and ID stay unchanged. AppSourceCop AS0007 rejects changing the namespace of published objects; namespaces are therefore not a cosmetic folder-like label that can be reorganized after release.
## Best Practice
Choose a globally meaningful namespace before first publication and keep it stable. Add new functional areas beneath that structure without moving existing published objects. If an identity must move, use the platform's supported move/obsoletion lifecycle rather than a source-only namespace rename.
See sample: `namespace-is-part-of-published-object-identity.good.al`.
## Anti Pattern
Changing `namespace Contoso.Rentals;` to `namespace Contoso.RentalManagement;` as a cleanup while leaving the object name and ID untouched. Every dependent `using` directive and qualified reference targets the old identity and stops compiling.
See sample: `namespace-is-part-of-published-object-identity.bad.al`.
