Clarify locale-safe DateFormula Evaluate inputs (#193)

* Clarify locale-safe DateFormula Evaluate inputs

Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Normalize DateFormula article sections

Keep the analyzer-gap explanation in Description and its scoped probe evidence in References, without a novel Validation section. Normative guidance and fixtures are unchanged.

Reviews AL source changes against the `style` 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`.
Style findings cover AL conventions that require contextual judgment — API page naming, temporary-variable prefixes, label semantics, named invocations, `FieldCaption`/`TableCaption` in user messages, error-parameter handling, and file naming. Mechanical compiler and analyzer rules are intentionally outside this skill; run the consuming app's configured analyzers separately.

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. For each relevant file, compute overlap against:
- Changed AL objects — especially API pages (`PageType = API`), tables and pages declaring Labels/TextConsts, codeunits issuing `Error`/`Message`/`Confirm`, and any file whose name violates the `<ObjectName>.<ObjectType>.al` convention.
- Changed declarations, weighted toward `: Label '...'`, `: TextConst '...'`, temporary record variables, error-handling call sites, and API declarations.
- Tokens extracted from the diff (`Label`, `TextConst`, `Locked`, `Comment`, `MaxLength`, `temporary`, `APIPublisher`, `APIGroup`, `APIVersion`, `EntityName`, `EntitySetName`, `DelayedInsert`, `FieldCaption`, `TableCaption`, `FieldName`, `TableName`, `Page.RunModal`, `Report.Run`, `StrSubstNo`).
- Changed declarations, weighted toward `: Label '...'`, `: TextConst '...'`, temporary record variables, `DateFormula` declarations and their `Evaluate` call sites, error-handling call sites, and API declarations.

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 or declaration. Read an article's full file — its `## Best Practice` / `## Anti Pattern` bodies — only after it makes the worklist; candidate selection uses the index alone.

Apply these high-signal mappings before fuzzy topic ranking:
- A `Label` or `TextConst` contains multiple or ambiguous placeholders but has no `Comment`, or its Comment does not explain every placeholder — `label-comment-explains-placeholders.md`. A single placeholder whose meaning is explicit in the text, such as `Customer %1`, is allowed without a Comment and must not be flagged.
- A normal two-argument `Evaluate` has a resolved `DateFormula` destination and a hard-coded non-angle-bracket date-formula literal, directly or through a visible constant — `dateformula-evaluate-needs-language-independent-literals.md`. Do not use this cue for dynamic/localized external input, already invariant `<...>` input, or direct `CalcDate(Text, ...)` calls.
Once the candidate worklist is known, resolve layer-precedence conflicts per READ and record suppressions.
When the post-conflict worklist is empty because no applicable style knowledge exists, or because configuration suppressed every candidate, emit `outcome: "no-knowledge"`. When the worklist is empty because no applicable style knowledge matched the changes, emit `outcome: "completed"` with an empty `findings` array.
