Add precision guards for systematic agent false-positive patterns (#112)

* Add precision guards for systematic agent false-positive patterns

Encodes reviewer-confirmed FP guards from the online eval: tooltip-inherited, page-trigger default return, drill-down filter not visible in diff, dual-trigger CalcFields (do.md); and a released-baseline precondition for breaking-change/upgrade findings on never-shipped symbols.

* Scope suggested-code and location to exactly the changed lines

Addresses reviewer-reported misplaced suggestions from the eval: insert-only-property emitting the whole field, single-statement rewrites anchored on the procedure name, and reductive multi-line collapses. The skill now emits a location range that matches precisely the rewritten lines.

* Correct suggested-code scoping guidance to match one-click anchor mechanics

A lone inserted line matches no existing file line and cannot be anchored; bracket the new line with one adjacent unchanged line instead. Reductive collapses omit suggested-code and fall back to a manual snippet.

* Move BC-specific FP guards out of do.md into leaf skills

do.md is the stable action-skill template and must stay domain-agnostic (JesperSchulz review). Relocate the four known false-positive patterns to their domain leaves: ToolTip-inheritance to al-ui-review; drill-down/lookup filtering and CalcFields lifecycle to al-performance-review; page-trigger exit(true) semantics to al-error-handling-review.

* Move suggested-code line-scoping guidance out of do.md into al-code-review

do.md must not carry instructions for how the review skill behaves (JesperSchulz review). Relocate the location/suggested-code precise-span rules to al-code-review's existing Suggested-code guidance section. do.md is now unchanged vs main.

* Move false-positive guards from skills into knowledge files

Keep review skills slim (finders/appliers). The FP guards and released-baseline preconditions previously embedded in leaf skills become negative-clarification knowledge articles in their domains, and the agent-findings policy edits to al-ui/al-privacy are reverted to main. Adds 6 knowledge files: error-handling (page-boolean-triggers-default-to-true), ui (bound-page-field-inherits-source-field-tooltip), performance (calcfields-in-both-getrecord-triggers-is-not-redundant, page-effective-filter-may-live-outside-the-diff), breaking-changes (unreleased-symbol-change-is-not-a-breaking-change), upgrade (unreleased-schema-change-needs-no-upgrade-path).

* Revert branch's suggested-code scoping addition in al-code-review

The three location-span shapes added to al-code-review are output-format mechanics, not domain knowledge: one-click span correctness is the engine's job (Resolve-SuggestionPlacement) and do.md already owns the suggested-code/location contract. The AL concerns the examples illustrate are already covered by existing knowledge (use-isempty-for-existence-check, data-classification-required-on-pii-fields, no-space-before-method-parenthesis). Restores al-code-review to main; the branch now adds only the 6 knowledge files.

* Restore al-ui/al-privacy review skills to base (zero diff in PR)

These two leaf skills carried an accidental net change against the PR merge-base because an earlier revert used the current origin/main (post-#110) instead of the branch base (pre-#110). Restoring them to the merge-base version removes them from the PR diff entirely. Three-way merge still preserves main's #110 suppression.

# CalcFields in both OnAfterGetRecord and OnAfterGetCurrRecord is not redundant
## Description
`OnAfterGetRecord` fires once per row as the page loads records into the view; `OnAfterGetCurrRecord` fires when a record becomes the active/current record. Calling `CalcFields` in both triggers is not duplicate or redundant work: the two triggers run at different points in the page lifecycle and serve different purposes — populating FlowFields for every displayed row versus refreshing them for the record the user has selected. The same `CalcFields` call appearing in both places is an intentional pattern, not copy-paste waste.
## Best Practice
Do not flag `CalcFields` appearing in both `OnAfterGetRecord` and `OnAfterGetCurrRecord` as duplicate, redundant, or removable. Treat each trigger's `CalcFields` on its own lifecycle merits.
## Anti Pattern
Recommending that a developer delete one of the two `CalcFields` calls because "the field is already calculated in the other trigger". The genuine per-row FlowField cost is addressed by the separate guidance on FlowField calculation in loops and on hidden FlowFields; it is not addressed by removing a lifecycle-correct `CalcFields`.

# A page or lookup's effective filter may be defined outside the changed hunk
## Description
The effective filter on a drill-down, lookup, or list result set is frequently defined outside any single changed hunk — on the table via a `SourceTableView` property or a `TableRelation`, or through `SetRange`/`SetFilter` calls in unchanged code that runs before the result is shown. The absence of a filter within the changed lines of a diff is therefore not evidence that the result set is unfiltered or that it will load an entire table.
## Best Practice
Do not assert that a drill-down, lookup, or list is "unfiltered" based only on the changed hunk. Confirm the effective filter by checking the page's `SourceTableView`, the field's `TableRelation`, and any `SetRange`/`SetFilter` in the surrounding (possibly unchanged) code before raising a finding about an unbounded result set.
## Anti Pattern
Concluding that a lookup or drill-down loads an unfiltered, full-table result set solely because no `SetRange`/`SetFilter` appears in the changed lines, when the filter is defined on the table, in a `TableRelation`, or in unchanged setup code.
