* Add 5 AL/BC patterns: document distribution (Report Selections, Document Sending Profile, Find Entries, TransferFields)
Five rules about Business Central's document distribution architecture,
verified against BCApps source and Microsoft Learn.
- custom-document-dispatch-must-not-bypass-report-selections
- document-print-and-email-actions-call-report-selections-directly
- extend-find-entries-navigate-for-new-document-types
- extend-report-selection-usage-for-new-document-types
- transferfields-mirrored-fields-must-match-type-and-length
Wired into al-data-modeling-review.md's worklist cues. Added a
disambiguation note on the TransferFields article distinguishing it from
the existing transferfields-skip-type-mismatch-can-drop-data.md
(type-mismatch skipping vs. length mismatch, which SkipFieldsNotMatchingType
does not affect).

* Fix four merge-critical blockers from Jesper's review; add 4 more patterns
Addresses microsoft/BCQuality#175 review feedback:
- Extend al-data-modeling-review's entry gate/relevance scope and token
list to recognize document actions, Navigate subscribers, Report
Selection registration, price-calculation/price-source extensibility,
TransferFields posting-cascade mirroring, and barcode font-provider
usage - previously excluded before any worklist cue could run.
- Fix document-print-and-email-actions-call-report-selections-directly:
permit the legitimate stateless DocumentSendingProfile.TrySendToPrinter/
TrySendToEMail path; rework the bad fixture to load a configured
profile instead of demonstrating a trivial blank-record no-op.
- Fix extend-report-selection-usage-for-new-document-types: scope to the
applicable single counterparty (ReportSelectionHandlerCZZ partitions
strictly; only genuinely two-sided usages like Compensation need both),
and add the page-facing usage-enum map/validate events alongside the
filter-event subscription for full Document Layouts support.
- Fix a stale field-citation in custom-document-dispatch-must-not-bypass-
report-selections (Custom Report Layout Code is field 7, not part of
the 19-26 email-configuration range).
- Add deterministic positive/clean evaluation coverage (review-fixtures.json
additionalArticles + Test-ReviewFixtures.ps1 support) so all 9 new
good/bad pairs are actually exercised, not just present.
- Add 4 new patterns: activate-new-price-calculation-handler-via-
onfindsupportedsetup, extend-price-source-type-must-sync-document-
subset-enum, new-price-source-must-add-candidate-and-trigger-
recalculation, report-barcodes-must-use-barcode-module-and-production-
font-name.

* Fix 5 merge-critical issues from Jesper's 2026-09-24 review round
- activate-new-price-calculation-handler-via-onfindsupportedsetup: Default
:= true is required only for the fallback branch of PriceCalculationMgt's
two-stage FindSetup - a handler reachable via a specific Dtld. Price
Calculation Setup row needs no Default. Softened the article and its
worklist cue accordingly. Also fixed an undefined "Sample Price Calc -
Special" codeunit referenced but never declared in the eval fixtures -
added a real implementation of interface "Price Calculation" with stub
methods.
- new-price-source-must-add-candidate-and-trigger-recalculation: the good
fixture called UpdateUnitPriceByField directly, which is a silent no-op
without a prior PlanPriceCalcByField call (FieldCausedPriceCalculation
gating, verified against SalesLine.Table.al). Switched to the public
UpdateUnitPrice wrapper, matching real BCApps usage in
ItemReferenceManagement.Codeunit.al.
- report-barcodes-must-use-barcode-module-and-production-font-name: split
the 1D (ValidateInput + EncodeFont) and 2D (EncodeFont only) Barcode Font
Provider interfaces, which the article previously conflated. Reframed the
Code 39 anti-pattern around demonstrable encoding/checksum mismatch
(verified against IDA1DCode39Encoder.Codeunit.al's real '(value)' output)
rather than rejecting all manual delimiter use, since '*' is a legitimate
Code 39 start/stop character. Also fixed extend-find-entries-navigate-
for-new-document-types' eval fixtures, which referenced an undefined
"Sample Posted Document Header" table/page - declared both.
All claims re-verified against live microsoft/BCApps source. Validators:
frontmatter 0/0, review-fixtures 126/20 domains PASSED, knowledge-index
342/575 PASSED, skill-index 19 leaves PASSED.

* Align price-source and barcode routing cues with corrected articles
- Price-source cue now accepts UpdateUnitPrice, or the explicit
PlanPriceCalcByField + UpdateUnitPriceByField sequence; bare
UpdateUnitPriceByField does not count. Both APIs added to tokens.
- Barcode cue no longer flags manual delimiters as a category; routes
only demonstrably invalid/provider-font-mismatched hand encoding, and
requires ValidateInput + EncodeFont for 1D, EncodeFont only for 2D.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Make barcode bad fixture self-contained: 1D EncodeFont without ValidateInput
The previous bad fixture (literal '*' delimiters, no layout/font/provider
evidence) no longer matched the narrowed routing cue. It now shows an
IDAutomation 1D provider path that calls EncodeFont without ValidateInput,
which is visible in AL alone. Article Anti Pattern and Source updated to
describe this variant (verified: IDAutomation 1D Provider's EncodeFont
does not call IsValidInput).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix three merge-critical items from Jesper's 2026-09-29 review
- Barcode: drop the false claim that '*value*' is mismatched with the
IDAutomation Code 39 font; '*' is a documented start/stop form and
'(' / ')' an accepted alternative. Cue and article now route only
independently provable validation/checksum/font-binding defects.
- Dispatch good samples (and matching bad samples) now pass a
Sales Invoice Header with the S.Invoice usage, matching the record
the selected report (1306 "Standard Sales - Invoice") expects.
- custom-document-dispatch rule made disjunctive: a hardcoded report
or a hand-built email is each a bypass on its own; scoped to
customer/vendor-facing documents. Bad fixture shows the hardcoded
report alone.

* Clarify TrySendToEMail comment in print/email good sample
Make explicit that TrySendToEMail is also correct *because* it never
reads the customer's assigned profile (local record, E-Mail option set
by the helper itself), and name Get/GetDefaultForCustomer + Send as the
anti-pattern. Matches the article's Best Practice and BaseApp's own
Sales Invoice Header.EmailRecords.

* 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.

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