Reviews AL source changes against the `data-modeling` knowledge domain in BCQuality and emits a findings report. This is a leaf action skill: it invokes no sub-skills. It is one of the skills composed by `al-code-review`.
An orchestrator invokes this skill with a `pr-diff`, `file-path`, or `folder-path`. Data-modeling findings are narrow by design — they apply when the review scope contains setup or master tables, their card pages, primary keys, number-series assignment, block enforcement, audit fields, document print/email/Post-and-Send actions, `Navigate` page subscribers, Report Selection registration or dispatch, price-calculation/price-source extensibility, code that reads or writes sales/purchase/service line price and amount fields, `TransferFields`-based posting-cascade field mirroring, `TableRelation` field-length design, barcode/report-layout font-provider usage, dimension wiring, journal-based posting-routine structure, or Item Ledger Entry document-number lookups after a combined sales post. The skill returns `not-applicable` when none of those apply.

- A new or extended table's name, fields, or usage positively establish it as one of Business Central's nine business-record types — a name ending `Ledger Entry`/`Register`/`Journal Line`/`Header`/`Line`/`Setup`, an auto-generated `Entry No.`/`No.` key posted from elsewhere, a `Template Name`+`Batch Name`+`Line No.` key, or a singleton `Primary Key` field — `table-design-must-match-bc-table-type-conventions`. Do not worklist it from a bare `keys` block or primary-key declaration alone: a temporary/buffer table, a work queue, a log, a cross-reference/mapping table, or a process-local staging table is not one of the nine types and is out of this rule's scope entirely, not an unresolved case.
- Code reads `Item Ledger Entry."Document No."` (or `"Last Shipping No."`/`"Last Posting No."`) after a combined Ship+Invoice **sales** post — `item-ledger-entry-document-no-follows-last-shipping-no`. This is a sales-specific rule: purchase combined posting is Receive+Invoice and uses receiving fields such as `"Last Receiving No."`, not the shipment/document-number behavior this article describes. Do not worklist it from purchase posting code.
- A custom master table changes its primary key, `No.`/`No. Series` fields, or `OnInsert` without assigning a blank `No.` from setup through a number series — `master-table-no-from-number-series-in-oninsert`.
- Code outside the table creates a non-temporary master record (`Customer`, `Vendor`, `Item`, `G/L Account`, `Contact`, or a custom master with initializing `OnInsert` logic) with `Insert()`/`Insert(false)` and does not itself assign the number and the fields `OnInsert` would set — `master-data-must-be-inserted-with-trigger`. Do not flag temporary records, buffer/staging tables, a caller that visibly assigns the trigger's fields before applying a template, or an XMLport round-tripping rows exported from Business Central; `Modify()` without the trigger is not this rule.
- Code outside the owning table's own `OnDelete` calls `Delete()`/`DeleteAll()` (or passes `false`) on a non-temporary master or reference table with an `OnDelete` guard or cascade (`Currency`, `Customer`, `Vendor`, `Item`, `G/L Account`, or a custom equivalent) — `delete-master-data-with-trigger`. Do not flag an owning table's `OnDelete` deleting its own dependents, temporary/buffer records, deleting and immediately re-inserting the same primary key (restore/recreate) where dependents stay valid, or a data-migration/setup reset in a company with no posted entries that removes master rows and their setup references as one rebuild.
- BC v22 or later code introduces or retains `NoSeriesManagement`, `InitSeries`, `SelectSeries`, or `SetSeries`, or number assignment/manual-entry checks do not use codeunit `"No. Series"` methods such as `GetNextNo`, `IsManual`, or `TestManual` — `use-no-series-codeunit-not-noseriesmanagement`.
- A master gains or changes `Blocked`, or a document line, journal line, reference-field `OnValidate`, or posting routine uses that master without `TestField(Blocked, false)` at the point of use; also cue when the check is placed only in the master's own triggers — `check-blocked-in-referencing-code-not-in-master`.
- A master table adds or changes `Last Date Modified`, `OnModify`, or `OnRename`, but the non-editable field is not assigned `Today()` in both triggers — `set-last-date-modified-in-onmodify-and-onrename`.

The following targeted checks cover every current `error-handling` article:
- A field `OnValidate` (or a procedure it calls) uses `Confirm` to gate a side effect that releases, cancels, or replaces state tied to the old (`xRec`) value, after the change nothing references that old state any more (it is orphaned), and the declined branch neither raises an error nor restores the field while the change proceeds — `declined-confirm-must-abort-not-partially-apply`. Do not flag declined updates whose old state stays valid (such as leaving tasks on a still-existing old campaign), optional follow-ups whose skipping leaves every record consistent (such as declining to update document lines after a header change), or `exit` on a declined `Confirm` in an action before anything is written.
- `[ErrorBehavior(ErrorBehavior::Collect)]`, `ErrorInfo.Collectible`, `HasCollectedErrors`, `GetCollectedErrors`, or `ClearCollectedErrors` is added or changed, especially when errors are collected without later surfacing/clearing them — `collect-validation-errors-with-errorbehavior`.
- New or changed code inserts an error/duration log record around a failed `TryFunction`/`GetLastErrorText`/`GetLastErrorCode` path and then raises, propagates, or rethrows the error — `log-writes-must-survive-rollback`. Do not worklist it when the log insert already happens inside a `Session.StartSession`-targeted codeunit's `OnRun`; that is the compliant shape, not the signal to flag.
- A guarded lookup (`if Record.Get(...) then ... else` or similar) sets a value used later, and the same guard shape (with the same blank/zero fallback style) is applied to a field that feeds a posted amount, a tax/VAT calculation, a quantity or price actually used in a transaction, or a legally/compliance-facing output — `defensive-vs-offensive-code-must-match-blast-radius`. The signal is a posting-critical or compliance-facing field guarded defensively with a silent fallback, not the mere presence of a guarded lookup.

- Worklist `design-covering-keys-from-read-pattern.md` for a changed secondary key alongside a filtered reader of its table, and `review-overlapping-keys-before-adding-an-index.md` when added or changed keys have overlapping leading fields. A changed key alone is not a finding; read and write workloads determine whether either rule applies.
- Worklist `preserve-buffered-inserts-by-separating-target-reads.md` when a loop calls `Insert` and interleaves operations on the insert target or `Commit`. Worklist `aggregate-before-persisting-intermediate-results.md` when repeated grouping calculations and persistent intermediate summaries appear in the same processing path. Do not infer either pattern from `Insert` or `CalcSums` alone.
- Worklist `use-grouped-query-for-distinct-values-and-duplicates.md` when a record loop sets a filter on a second record variable of the same table to the current row's value and calls `Count`, `IsEmpty`, or `FindFirst` only to decide whether that value is duplicated. Do not worklist it for a single uniqueness check on one record (for example in `OnValidate` or before `Insert`), an outer loop bounded to one parent document, a lookup against a different subset than the looped rows, a loop that acts on each row it finds, or a filtered/counted record that is temporary.
- Worklist `cache-repeated-filtered-results-with-explicit-scope.md` only when the code or workload establishes repeated **complete** lookup keys (for example, querying the same filtered set in multiple passes, or measured key reuse), or shows a cache that omits result-affecting inputs. A single loop over possibly distinct keys does not establish reuse or justify a cache finding. Worklist `avoid-repeating-unchanged-validation.md` for repeated `Validate` of the same field in one path; do not worklist it from a single validation call.
- Worklist `use-setautocalcfields-for-per-row-flowfields.md` when a record loop calls `CalcFields`, or when every row reads the same FlowField for a comparison, branch, or per-record action. Also worklist `calcsums-instead-of-calcfields-in-loop.md` when the loop accumulates one set total: use `CalcSums` directly only for stored source fields, never directly on FlowFields; a FlowField total requires deriving equivalent source filters from its `CalcFormula`.
- Worklist `hidden-flowfields-still-calculate-before-bc26-opt-in.md` when a page control directly sources a FlowField and sets `Visible = false` or a visibility expression. Suppress it when the target is known to have BC26's **Calculate only visible FlowFields** feature enabled, or when the FlowField is cheap and intentionally preloaded.

- The changed procedures and triggers, weighted toward those that call `Error`, construct `ErrorInfo`, call `Session.LogMessage`, `StrSubstNo`, `GetLastErrorText`/`GetLastErrorCallStack`, `FeatureTelemetry.LogUsage`/`LogUptake`/`LogError`, `HttpClient.Post`/`Get`, `IsolatedStorage.Set`/`SetEncrypted`/`Get`, or `PrivacyNotice.GetPrivacyNoticeApprovalState`.

- Treat `ErrorInfo.Message`, `ErrorInfo.DataClassification`, `ErrorInfo.ErrorType`, and `ErrorInfo.DetailedMessage` as qualified member signals: accept a call or assignment only when symbol resolution proves that its receiver expression or variable has type `ErrorInfo`. Normalize those accesses to `errorinfo-message`, `errorinfo-dataclassification`, `errorinfo-errortype`, and `errorinfo-detailedmessage` retrieval tokens. Bare `Message` or `DataClassification` tokens MUST NOT trigger this article; do not emit the qualified tokens for `Message(...)` dialog calls, table or table-field `DataClassification` properties, or similarly named members on other types. Resolve the receiver's declaration from the containing object when it is outside the changed hunk.
- Worklist ErrorInfo privacy guidance only from those typed `ErrorInfo` member tokens or from construction of an `ErrorInfo` value. For every `FeatureTelemetry.LogError`, inspect the dedicated error text and call-stack arguments in addition to explicit custom dimensions.
- Retention-policy signals. Emit `addallowedtable` for any call to `Codeunit "Reten. Pol. Allowed Tables".AddAllowedTable`, `retention-policy-setup` for any use of `Record "Retention Policy Setup"`, and `retention-policy` for either. Emit `append-only-table` for an extension-owned table (never a tableextension) that the diff adds, or into which the diff adds a new `Insert` path, when the table also passes this bounded check: search the app's `.al` files for the table's object name once each for `AddAllowedTable`, `Delete`, and `DeleteAll`, and emit the token only when none of the three matches. This is a text search per candidate table — do not read or resolve the rest of the app. Emit `deleteall` when the diff adds a `DeleteAll` on an extension-owned table filtered by a date or datetime field inside a job queue codeunit or other scheduled cleanup and the table has no `AddAllowedTable` call.
Route retention-policy guidance deterministically:
- `register-owned-log-tables-for-retention-policies.md` is worklisted by `append-only-table` or `deleteall`, or when an `AddAllowedTable` routine is reached only from an install codeunit, or is guarded by an upgrade tag with no `OnRefreshAllowedTables` subscriber that bypasses the tag. Do not use the table's name as the trigger: an append-only table is a candidate whatever it is called ("Incoming Data" as much as "Activity Log"). A name ending in `Log`, `Entry`, `Archive`, `History`, or `Buffer`, an `AutoIncrement` integer primary key, or inserts from event subscribers, job queue codeunits, or API/web-service handlers raise confidence to `medium`; without any of these the finding stays `low`. Findings from `append-only-table` are advisory (`minor`) because table volume cannot be observed from source.
- `ship-a-default-retention-policy-setup.md` is worklisted by `addallowedtable` or `retention-policy-setup`, but registration without a `Retention Policy Setup` is valid and MUST NOT produce a finding. Report only a false claim: a `Message`, notification, label, page `AboutText`/`InstructionalText`, or setup text in the diff stating that the registered table's data is now cleaned up or deleted automatically when no enabled `Retention Policy Setup` is created for it.
A file enters the candidate worklist when its `keywords` intersect the extracted tokens or its topic (derived from the index entry's `path`, `title`, and `description`) matches a changed object type.

Do not flag a genuinely two-state `Enum`/`Option` for having "too few" members; that overlaps `binary-choice-must-be-boolean.md` instead when the domain is a true/false predicate.

Require repository/dependency context; a single new `using` line cannot itself prove whether the namespace was verified or guessed.

- A new codeunit procedure takes a key (`Code`/`Integer`/`Guid`) or a non-`var` `Record`, then `Get`s or uses its own copy and calls `Modify` on that same table's record; a `page`/`pageextension` trigger in the diff calls it with `Rec` or a key field of `Rec`, and later in the same trigger reads the changed `Rec` fields or writes from `Rec` — `mutating-procedure-for-a-page-caller-takes-var-record.md`. Severity at most `minor`. The page refreshes its current record after an action, so stale display alone is not this pattern, and a `Rec.Get` after the call is not evidence by itself. Do not flag job-queue/`TaskScheduler`/page-background-task entry points, API page actions resolving the real record by `SystemId`, generic `RecordId`/`RecordRef`/`Variant` APIs, key-based procedures whose change happens inside a platform/System API, procedures that change a different table or only read, temporary records, by-value records modified inside a `FindSet` loop (owned by `performance/avoid-cloning-records-before-modify-delete-in-loops`), or an in-place signature change to an already-published procedure (owned by `breaking-changes/do-not-change-published-procedure-signatures`).
- A procedure call passes a literal or a computed expression (not a caller-scope variable) to a parameter position the callee declares `var` — `var-parameters-require-an-addressable-variable.md`. This is a compile-time-guaranteed shape; flag it only when the callee's declared signature is visible in the diff or resolvable from context.
