Merge main into PR #208 and preserve both review routes

Resolve data-modeling applicability, token, and not-applicable conflicts by retaining TableRelation guidance alongside master-record insert/delete routing. Preserve approved canonical knowledge and samples, RecordRef exclusions, and all fixture registrations.

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 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. Read an article's full file — its `## Best Practice` / `## Anti Pattern` bodies — only after it makes the worklist; candidate selection uses the index alone. When the diff contains no data-modeling changes by any of the above signals, return `outcome: "not-applicable"` without evaluating files.
@ -51,6 +51,8 @@ The following targeted checks cover every current `data-modeling` article. Treat
- 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`.
