* 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 custom dimension keys as a stable telemetry schema
## Description
Business Central prefixes AL custom-dimension keys with `al` in Application Insights, so an AL key named `Result` becomes `alResult`. Microsoft guidance treats telemetry definitions as an API: changing or removing a custom dimension can break dashboards and alerts. PascalCase keys without spaces also compose cleanly in KQL; spaces force awkward bracket access and make queries harder to maintain.
## Best Practice
Choose stable PascalCase keys such as `Operation`, `Result`, and `RecordCount`. Keep the key set and meaning stable for a shipped event ID; add a new event ID or coordinate a schema migration when the meaning must change. Privacy guidance separately governs whether a dimension value may contain customer data.
See sample: `keep-custom-dimension-schema-stable.good.al`.
## Anti Pattern
Keys such as `'order no'` or `'result_code'`, or renaming/removing a key while retaining the same shipped event ID. A naming-only issue is advisory; changing an existing event's schema is the material compatibility defect. New keys on a new event ID are not a breaking change.
See sample: `keep-custom-dimension-schema-stable.bad.al`.
