* Add Finance posting domain-knowledge pilot
Adds three atomic domain-rule knowledge files under community/knowledge/finance/ as a pilot for Type-A (normative) Business Central domain knowledge: post through the posting engine, treat posted ledger entries as immutable, and treat the Dimension Set ID as the source of truth for dimensions. Includes a good/bad AL sample pair for the posting rule.
These encode BC-specific invariants that LLMs reliably get wrong, fitting the existing remedial/atomic knowledge grain with no schema or contract changes. Passes the repo frontmatter validator and is discovered by the knowledge index.

* Clarify editable operational fields on posted ledger entries
Addresses review feedback from @JeremyVyska on PR #57: the immutability rule applies to financial content, not the whole entry. Reframes the Description around financial content and gives the operational-field exception (payment/application data, on-hold, applies-to, communication fields edited via CustEntry-Edit/VendEntry-Edit and the ledger entry pages) its own paragraph in Best Practice instead of understating it as a narrow set.

* Fix bc-version overflow and pathless-row identity in bounded retrieval
Catalog matching compared an Int32 -BCVersion against a bigint range bound.
PowerShell coerces the right operand to the left operand's type, so a bound
wider than Int32 threw a conversion error and failed the whole domain catalog
rather than the single row. Metadata validation already accepts such bounds,
so compare as bigint on both sides.
The shared pager built its oversized-row message with $row.path, which
throws under Set-StrictMode -Version Latest when a row carries no path,
replacing the explicit bound failure with a property-lookup error. Resolve the
path defensively for dictionary and object rows so the offset-based fallback
is reachable.
Both paths gain regression coverage that fails without these fixes.

* Anchor plugin paths at PLUGIN_ROOT and restore the layer-filter caveat
The adapter delegated index preparation to Entry's Preparation step, but that
step is written for the clone model: it runs `pwsh ./tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1`
from the checkout root. A plugin host's working directory is the user's own
project, so the path does not resolve and the index is never built. Because
knowledge-index.json is gitignored, a fresh install has none, and READ silently
degrades to path-based discovery. The adapter now resolves Entry's repo-relative
paths against PLUGIN_ROOT and names the absolute index build; the generator
resolves its own root, so it indexes and writes the right tree from any cwd.
Entry also asserted that pruning has always happened before it runs, which is
false for an installation that ships the whole tree. Entry now scopes that
guarantee to consumers that actually prune, and the caveat dropped in the
rewrite - that enabled-layers narrows discovery rather than denying access - is
restored in the adapter and summarized in the README.

De-enumerate the AL review leaf list so it lives in exactly one place:
the al-code-review super-skill's frontmatter sub-skills list.
- al-code-review.md: drop the enumerated parenthetical from description
and remove the redundant bullet re-list in the Source section.
- README.md: remove the hardcoded count word and the enumerated domain
list from the leaf-skill sentence.
- validate_frontmatter.py: add cross-file rule R26 asserting a
super-skill's declared sub-skills exactly match the sibling
al-*-review.md leaf files on disk (missing, stale, and unregistered
leaves all fail CI).

A closed range like [23..28] wrongly implies guidance stops applying after
BC28, so a reviewer targeting BC29+ would not match the file. Introduce an
open-ended shorthand [N..] meaning ''version N and every later version''.
- validate_frontmatter.py: RANGE_SHORTHAND allows an optional upper bound;
expand_bc_version returns the normalized string ''N..'' for open-ended.
- read.md: document the fourth bc-version form and its matching rule
(matches target >= N; not enumerable).
- write.md: prefer [N..] over a closed range for a feature introduced in N
and not expected to be removed.
- Apply [23..] to the actionable-errors article (actionable errors shipped
in BC23 and are not version-bounded above).
- README: mention [N..] in the frontmatter example.

* Make domain-skill knowledge discovery index-aware
The 6 AL domain review skills and read.md now enumerate candidate articles
from the BCQuality knowledge index (knowledge-index.json) instead of opening
every file under the domain folder to read its frontmatter. The worklist
selection predicate is unchanged (keywords intersect diff tokens, or topic
matches a changed object type) - only the discovery source changes, so the
same articles are selected. Full article bodies are read only for worklisted
entries.

* Reconcile §Source wording with the lean knowledge index
The BCQuality filter now emits a lean index whose per-article description is a
one-line hint rather than the full verbatim Description. Update the six domain
skills' §Source to say the index carries a one-line description hint (keywords,
title, and a one-line description) instead of the full description. The
worklist selection predicate is unchanged: keywords drive selection and the
agent opens worklisted articles in full for their rule bodies.

* Own the knowledge-index generator in BCQuality
The knowledge index is an acceleration of the skills' Source step, and its
schema is part of that contract — so BCQuality should own the generator rather
than each consumer re-implementing it. Add tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1 (the
parser + lean-description shaping + emit, lifted verbatim from the
BCAppsBCQuality filter prototype) and document the index in agent-consumption.md.
Consumers prune their clone to policy, then call this script; the index stays
in lockstep with the Source contract and every orchestrator gets the same
faithful index for free. The worklist selection predicate is unchanged.

* Own knowledge-index generation in BCQuality (runtime + CI), not the consumer
The index is now produced by BCQuality itself: Entry's preparation step
rebuilds knowledge-index.json over the live, already-pruned clone at the start
of every run, and a new CI workflow validates the generator's health
(determinism, full coverage, selection-input integrity). Consumers no longer
invoke or know about the index.
Rebuilding over the pruned clone (vs shipping a committed full-corpus index)
keeps the index exact for any consumer policy: it can never list a denied
article, so policy-excluded rules cannot leak into discovery. READ now states
the index is discovery-only -- a finding must cite an article opened in full,
and rows whose file is absent are discarded before ranking.
- skills/entry.md: new 'Preparation -- knowledge index' precondition
- skills/read.md: index ownership + discovery-only invariant
- microsoft/skills/review/*.md (6): 'BCQuality builds' (not 'the filter emits')
- agent-consumption.md 5a: runtime+CI ownership rationale
- .github/workflows/knowledge-index.yml + scripts/Test-KnowledgeIndex.ps1: generator guard
- .gitignore: never commit the runtime index

* Make runtime index build non-interactive and self-contained
entry.md now gives the exact build command (pwsh ./tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1)
so the agent's preparation step is unambiguous, and the generator's -BCQualityRoot
parameter is optional (defaults to the clone root) so it runs in non-interactive
-p mode without prompting.

* Resolve knowledge-index root to absolute path (cross-platform fix)
Get-ChildItem.FullName is always absolute, so deriving the relative article
path via Substring(\.Length) requires an absolute root. A relative root
such as '.' (used by the CI guard's 'Test-KnowledgeIndex.ps1 -Root .') left the
full path almost intact on Linux, producing bogus 'home/runner/.../knowledge'
paths and failing the coverage check. Normalise both the generator's
-BCQualityRoot and the test's -Root with Resolve-Path before use.

Most of the corpus — FindSet/SetLoadFields/CalcFields patterns, permission
sets, SingleInstance codeunits, DataClassification, IsolatedStorage,
transaction scope, SecretText — describes BC platform behaviour that is
identical across supported versions. The seed [26..28] range on every
file implied a version-specificity the content does not actually have,
and there was no way to express "applies to every version" in the
schema the way [w1] and [all] already do for countries and
application-area.
Extend the v1 schema with a universal sentinel for bc-version, parallel
to the sentinels already defined for the other dimensions:
bc-version: [all] # applies to every BC version
[all] is mutually exclusive with explicit versions. Range shorthand
([26..28]) and explicit lists ([26, 27, 28]) continue to work for files
genuinely tied to a version-gated API or deprecation.
Update read.md (field definition, matching semantics, partial-context
rule), write.md (default to [all], use ranges only with a concrete
reason), README.md (frontmatter example), and the CI validator. All
forty existing knowledge files and the three action skills convert to
[all]; none of the current content is version-gated. Validator passes.
- Introduced unit tests for the bc-domain-context implementation, covering various scenarios including filtering by application area, technology mismatches, layer precedence, and conditional applicability.
- Added knowledge files related to finance, including topics such as Chart of Accounts, Codeunit 12, Dimension Management, and VAT on prepayment chains, among others.
- Each knowledge file includes structured metadata and best practices to enhance the domain knowledge available for Business Central tasks.
Python validator derived from READ, WRITE, DO, and Entry. Enforces
frontmatter shape, required sections, knowledge-file length and
no-code-blocks rule, sample-sibling naming (<slug>.good.al /
<slug>.bad.al), action-skill section ordering, and unique skill ids
per kind. Runs in GitHub Actions on PRs and pushes to main; emits
GitHub annotations when GITHUB_ACTIONS is set, plain text otherwise.
Warnings do not fail the build.
Passes cleanly against the existing microsoft-layer corpus.
