Address second round of Jesper Schulz-Wedde's review on PR #156

- dimension-management-wiring.md/.good.al: split into the two distinct
  models the article was conflating - master data (Default Dimension
  records via ValidateDimValueCode/SaveDefaultDim) vs. transactional/
  document data (a single Dimension Set ID assembled via AddDimSource +
  GetDefaultDimID, verified against BCApps' ExchRateAdjmtProcess.Codeunit.al).
  Added a compiling document-table example alongside the existing master
  table one.
- Deleted api-page-flowfields-must-be-calcfields (.md/.good.al/.bad.al):
  Microsoft's own FlowFields documentation states a FlowField used as a
  control's direct source expression is automatically calculated on any
  page - no API-page exception is documented, and none could be
  reproduced.
- prefer-email-module.bad.al/.md: Codeunit Mail has no Send/GetErrorDesc
  members; fixed to the real current 7-argument CreateMessage signature,
  and corrected the claim that the legacy path "still runs" - its base
  implementation no longer sends anything, only raises integration events.
- check-post-line-batch-pattern.md/.good.al: reframed from a universal
  invariant to the standard shape, naming the real Gen./Item/CA/Res./Job/
  Insurance/Mfg. Item/FA Jnl.-Check Line/-Post Line/-Post Batch codeunits
  it's based on. Added the missing Check Line companion codeunit so the
  good fixture is internally complete.
- test-data-must-be-random-and-complete.good.al: removed leftover
  "collision-free" wording contradicting the already-corrected article text.
- fixed-choice-set-must-use-enum-not-integer.md: removed the reintroduced
  state-count heuristic ("the line is the state count"), aligned with
  binary-choice-must-be-boolean.md's semantics-based distinction.
- namespace-must-be-verified-from-source.md: removed the false claim that
  the compiler and AL Language Server use different namespace-resolution
  rules.
- intrinsic-al-functions-must-use-modern-casing.md: removed the unverified
  claim that PascalCase is the VS Code formatter's default output.

Worklist completeness: added cues for the 8 rules in data-modeling,
testing, performance, and web-services that had none (Jesper's explicit
ask), plus the same gap in all 7 style rules from this PR (not explicitly
named this round, but the identical systemic issue) - 15 cues total across
al-data-modeling-review.md, al-testing-review.md, al-performance-review.md,
al-web-services-review.md, and al-style-review.md.

- 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`.
- A test path raises UI and `[HandlerFunctions(...)]` does not match the invoked handlers, or the test has no meaningful evidence of the UI result (for example, it treats a Boolean set before the action as proof of success) — `ui-handlers-in-tests`. A capture/reset/assert-after-`RunModal` pattern is valid. Enqueue/dequeue and `AssertEmpty` are required only when order, count, text, replies, or a scripted sequence is part of the contract. Only nonoptional handlers have to execute: a listed handler declared `[SendNotificationHandler(true)]` or `[RecallNotificationHandler(true)]` is optional by design, so do not treat it as unmatched when the run never raises the notification.
- A test's `[GIVEN]`/setup looks up a hardcoded code/number/name assumed to already exist instead of creating it, leaves a mandatory field on a created record empty or under-sized, or a scenario-defining value (amount, quantity, percentage, date, threshold, rounding precision) is generated/randomized instead of an explicit chosen value — `test-data-must-be-random-and-complete`. Generating incidental fixture values (identifiers, names, descriptions) via the standard library codeunits is the compliant shape, not the signal to flag.
Once the candidate worklist is known, resolve layer-precedence conflicts per READ. Drop lower-precedence files whose normative guidance (`## Best Practice` or `## Anti Pattern`) directly contradicts a higher-precedence candidate, and record each dropped file in `suppressed` with `reason: "layer-precedence"`. Files that would have been candidates but are hidden because their layer is disabled in consumer configuration are recorded with `reason: "configuration"`. Files that never became candidates are NOT recorded in `suppressed`.
