Reviews AL page source and control add-in UI files against the `ui` 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`.
UI findings apply to page files — files that declare `PageType = ...`, including `*.Page.al` under the standard file-naming convention — and to JavaScript/CSS/HTML files that implement Business Central control add-ins, including their client-service communication. The skill returns `not-applicable` when the diff contains no page or control add-in changes.
UI findings apply to page files — files that declare `PageType = ...`, including `*.Page.al` under the standard file-naming convention — to AL code that sends or recalls in-client notifications, and to JavaScript/CSS/HTML files that implement Business Central control add-ins, including their client-service communication. The skill returns `not-applicable` when the diff contains no page, notification, or control add-in changes.
An orchestrator invokes this skill with a `pr-diff`, `file-path`, or `folder-path`. The skill produces a single JSON document conforming to the DO output contract.

Narrow the relevant files to the subset that applies to the changes under review.
- **UI-file filter.** UI review applies to files declaring `page`, `pageextension`, or `pagecustomization`, and to JavaScript/CSS/HTML that implements a control add-in's rendering or Business Central communication. When the diff contains no such files, return `outcome: "not-applicable"` without evaluating knowledge files.
- **UI-file filter.** UI review applies to files declaring `page`, `pageextension`, or `pagecustomization`; to any AL object whose changed code calls `Send()` or `Recall()` on a `Notification` variable or calls codeunit `"Notification Lifecycle Mgt."`; and to JavaScript/CSS/HTML that implements a control add-in's rendering or Business Central communication. A non-page AL file admitted only by the notification clause is evaluated only against notification knowledge (`notification-recall-needs-known-id`), not against caption, tooltip, message-text, or client-expression knowledge. When the diff contains no such files, return `outcome: "not-applicable"` without evaluating knowledge files.
- A new or changed page's name/suffix, primary-key handling, `CardPageID`, `SubPageLink`, `AutoSplitKey`, or `UsageCategory` doesn't match the conventions of its own declared `PageType` — `page-design-must-match-bc-page-type-conventions.md`. A Card page over a composite-key table that supplements a master record, or a supporting/subpage/dialog page intended only to be reached through another workflow and correctly omitting `UsageCategory`, is not this anti-pattern on its own; check whether the page is actually mixing conventions or is meant as a searchable entry point before flagging.
- For each relevant knowledge file, compute overlap against changed page declarations and control add-in files, weighted toward `Caption`, `ToolTip`, `AboutTitle`, `AboutText`, `OptionCaption`, `ShowCaption`, `InstructionalText`, `GridLayout`, `Style`, `StyleExpr`, promoted action definitions, field importance, page background tasks, DOM creation, ARIA attributes, keyboard/focus handlers, packaged-resource AJAX, and calls from JavaScript into AL.

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 page element. Read an article's full file — its `## Best Practice` / `## Anti Pattern` bodies — only after it makes the worklist; candidate selection uses the index alone.
@ -52,6 +52,8 @@ Apply these high-signal mappings before fuzzy topic ranking:
- An editable page part affects a total, FlowField, or FactBox on the parent but does not set `UpdatePropagation = Both` — `updatepropagation-both-refreshes-main-page`.
- A page or pageextension `Enabled`, `Visible`, `Editable`, or `StyleExpr` value contains an `in [...]` list (compiler: "InListExpression is not valid for client expressions", AL0573 or AL0322), or replaces one with a procedure call — `page-client-expression-must-not-use-in-list`. Plain `=`/`<>` comparisons joined with `and`/`or`, and `in [...]` inside a trigger or procedure body, are valid; do not flag them.
- A `RoleCenter` page, or a pageextension whose target is a Role Center, gates a part, action, or field by binding `Visible` or `Enabled` to a procedure that tests a permission, or declares a procedure (AL0569 "A page of type Role Center cannot have procedures", AL0573) — `rolecenter-permission-gating-must-use-accessbypermission`. The target page name is not reliable evidence of its type; confirm it is a Role Center from its `PageType` or the AL0569 diagnostic. Setup- or feature-flag gating inside the part page is not this pattern.
- The same code path calls `Send()` and `Recall()` on a `Notification` (for example `Send()` when a condition holds, `Recall()` in the `else` branch or when it clears) but never assigns its `Id`, or assigns `CreateGuid()` and calls `Send()`/`Recall()` directly; or, when notifications for several records must be visible at the same time, they share one fixed `Id` sent and recalled directly — `notification-recall-needs-known-id`. A notification that is never recalled; one sent through `"Notification Lifecycle Mgt."` (`SendNotification`, `SendNotificationWithAdditionalContext`) without an `Id`; and a fixed `Id` shared across records for a one-at-a-time warning that is recalled before re-send (directly or through `SendNotification`, as in `Sales Line`'s blocked-item notification) are valid; do not flag them.
- A page action opens a record of `Sales Header`, `Purchase Header`, their archives, or another table that codeunit `"Page Management"` routes (directly or after a `Get`) by switching on its `Document Type` or a similar type field and calling `Page.Run(Page::...)` per branch — `list-page-document-routing-uses-page-management`. Severity `minor`. Opening one known document type directly, a list with a fixed `CardPageID`, and a table that `"Page Management"` does not route (for example `Assembly Header`) are not this pattern.
Once the candidate worklist is known, resolve layer-precedence conflicts per READ and record suppressions.
