Fix remaining correctness issues from Jesper's 2026-09-15 re-review

- commit-shared-test-fixture-inside-lazy-initialize: three sub-issues.
  Recommended TestIsolation = Codeunit instead of listing Disabled as an
  equal option - Disabled never rolls back at all ("tests are not
  isolated from each other" per the property's own docs), so a fixture
  this pattern commits under Disabled is permanent database
  contamination unless something else tears it down; Disabled is now
  only mentioned alongside that explicit teardown requirement. Added
  precedence in al-testing-review.md so the deliberate end-of-test
  asserterror Error(...) rollback sentinel isn't also flagged by the
  generic asserterror-needs-expectederror-and-code rule. Rewrote both
  fixtures to actually demonstrate the pattern: persisted fixture data
  (an Item record) instead of an empty comment, a second [Test] method
  that depends on the fixture surviving into it, and an explicit
  Subtype = TestRunner / TestIsolation = Codeunit runner codeunit.

- table-relation-test-exclude-known-invalid-relations-via-event:
  the length/type rule was stated as one global requirement. Verified
  ValidateFieldRelation in codeunit 134926 directly (BCApps reference
  clone) and split it into the two branches the source actually has:
  a field with any unconditional relation needs exact length and exact
  resolved type; a field whose relations are all conditional only fails
  on being shorter (longer is fine) than the largest related field, and
  when the required type is specifically Code, a Text source passes too
  - a tolerance that does not apply on the unconditional side and does
  not extend to a required Text.

Rebased onto upstream/main (one conflict in
transactionmodel-attribute-governs-test-transactions.md - upstream had
already linked its sample references via the READ convention, ours
added a Source section; merged both). Also converted the 3 remaining
plain-backtick sample references in this PR to the READ-convention
markdown-link form, same fix as #156/#157/#158.

- An `AutoCommit` test runs under a `Subtype = TestRunner` codeunit that omits `TestIsolation` or sets it to `Disabled`, leaving committed data between tests — `testisolation-belongs-on-the-test-runner`. Require runner/repository context; a standalone test file cannot prove which runner executes it.
- A permission-sensitive test uses `TestPermissions = Disabled`, claims to test a restricted user without `"Permissions Mock"`/`"Library - Lower Permissions"`, or declares `[TestPermissions(...)]` without applying that context — `permission-tests-must-lower-the-execution-context`.
- Test fixture code manually calls `Init`/`Insert`, invents keys or prerequisite records, or bypasses available `LibrarySales`, `LibraryPurchase`, `LibraryERM`, `LibraryInventory`, `LibraryRandom`, or equivalent library codeunits — `use-library-codeunits-for-test-fixtures`.
- `asserterror` is added or changed without a following `Assert.ExpectedError`, `Assert.ExpectedErrorCode`, or a purpose-built assertion such as `ExpectedTestFieldError` — `asserterror-needs-expectederror-and-code`. Exclude `asserterror Assert.IsTrue(...)` / `asserterror Assert.IsFalse(...)` guarding a `Boolean`-returning call — that shape belongs to `use-assert-isfalse-not-asserterror-for-boolean-checks` instead, which wins for it.
- `asserterror` is added or changed without a following `Assert.ExpectedError`, `Assert.ExpectedErrorCode`, or a purpose-built assertion such as `ExpectedTestFieldError` — `asserterror-needs-expectederror-and-code`. Exclude `asserterror Assert.IsTrue(...)` / `asserterror Assert.IsFalse(...)` guarding a `Boolean`-returning call — that shape belongs to `use-assert-isfalse-not-asserterror-for-boolean-checks` instead, which wins for it. Also exclude a trailing `asserterror Error(...)` used purely as an end-of-test rollback sentinel after a lazy `Initialize()` fixture already committed — that shape belongs to `commit-shared-test-fixture-inside-lazy-initialize`, which wins for it; the sentinel's own error text is not meant to be asserted against.
- `asserterror` wraps `Assert.IsTrue(BooleanExpression, ...)` (or the `IsFalse` mirror) solely to invert the boolean result of the guarded call, rather than to assert that call itself raises an error — `use-assert-isfalse-not-asserterror-for-boolean-checks`.
- A shared/lazy `Initialize()`-style fixture helper creates fixture data without a following `Commit()`, in a test method whose body later forces its own rollback (for example `asserterror Error(...)` used for end-of-test cleanup) — `commit-shared-test-fixture-inside-lazy-initialize`. The presence of `Commit()` after the fixture is the compliant shape, not the signal to look for; the missing-`Commit()` shape combined with a later deliberate rollback is the anti-pattern. Require runner/repository context for the `TestIsolation` value: a standalone test file cannot prove which runner executes it, and under `Function`-level isolation this whole pattern is moot regardless of `Commit()` — do not raise the finding when the executing runner's `TestIsolation` is known to be `Function`.
- Changed code subscribes to `OnAfterRemoveTableRelation`, calls `RemoveTableRelation`, or references `Codeunit "Table Relation Test"`/134926 — `table-relation-test-exclude-known-invalid-relations-via-event`.
