- log-writes-must-survive-rollback.good.al: fixed invalid trigger
OnRun(var Rec: ...) declaration; Rec is implicit when TableNo is set.
- exposed-objects-must-be-in-a-permission-set.md: distinguished the three
exposure mechanisms (page/query web service or API, codeunit published
as a web service, [ServiceEnabled] bound action on a page) and their
actual permission targets (page/query "..." = X vs codeunit "..." = X).
- code-must-not-change-workdate.md: scoped from an absolute "never" to
"not as a side effect of unrelated logic" - verified real WorkDate(x)
setter usage in BCApps demo-data generators and test codeunits.
- bcpt-scenarios-must-be-app-specific.md: SingleInstance and
StartScenario/EndScenario reframed as context-dependent patterns, not
mandatory requirements - BCPT Create Customer uses neither.
- test-feature-scenario-tags.good.al/.bad.al: replaced the invented
LibrarySales.CreateCustomerWithPrice/"Item Price Mgt." calls with a real,
verified price-list-line test using Library - Sales/Library - Inventory/
Library - Price Calculation.
- page-design-must-match-bc-page-type-conventions.md: scoped the missing
UsageCategory anti-pattern to pages intended as searchable entry points.
- defensive-vs-offensive-code-must-match-blast-radius.md/.good.al/.bad.al:
replaced the VAT registration number "low blast radius" example with a
genuinely cosmetic field (customer home page URL).
- source-organized-by-feature-not-object-type.md: anti-pattern reframed as
inconsistency with a repo's own convention, not the object-type scheme
itself.
- pictures-must-use-media-not-blob.md: removed leftover "image variants"
wording contradicting the already-corrected MediaSet description.
Proactively fixed while sweeping all fixtures for invented APIs:
- given-blocks-must-cover-full-precondition-chain.bad.al: PostSalesOrder
called with wrong arity and referenced an undeclared variable.
- ui-test-codeunit-naming.good.al/.bad.al: replaced the same fake
"Item Price Mgt."/TestPage "Item Price" with real Library - Sales calls
and the real Customer Card TestPage.
Worklist completeness: added review-skill cues for the 12 of 18 new rules
that had none (al-appsource-review.md, al-data-modeling-review.md,
al-error-handling-review.md, al-security-review.md, al-style-review.md x3,
al-testing-review.md x2, al-ui-review.md, al-upgrade-review.md,
al-web-services-review.md), and fixed test-feature-scenario-tags' cue,
which only matched the compliant (tagged) shape instead of the anti-pattern
(untagged/generic-named test).

- release-must-update-app-version.md: reframe around AppSource's actual
strict full-version-ordering requirement; scope branching-policy
claims as team convention, not platform rule.
- pictures-must-use-media-not-blob.md: MediaSet is a collection of
independent media objects, not automatic image variants/thumbnails.
- log-writes-must-survive-rollback.{md,good.al}: StartSession's only
data channel into the new session is its Record parameter to a
TableNo-scoped codeunit; a setter called on a local instance before
starting the session populates nothing in the new session.
- exposed-objects-must-be-in-a-permission-set.md: correct the three
exposure mechanisms (Web Services config, PageType/QueryType=API,
ServiceEnabled as a method-only attribute).
- pages-must-not-contain-business-logic.md: scope to persisted
mutations and cross-entry-point rules; presentation-only
calculations and table-owned invariants are not violations.
- given-blocks-must-cover-full-precondition-chain.good.al: replace
invented LibrarySales calls with the real API
(CreateCustomer/CreateSalesOrderForCustomerNo/PostSalesDocument).
- test-feature-scenario-tags.{md,good.al}: move [SCENARIO] inside the
test procedure body to match the current BCApps corpus; keep
[FEATURE] at codeunit level per Microsoft's own documented option.
- ui-test-codeunit-naming.md: scope the _UT suffix and adjacent-ID
pairing as an explicit team convention, not a BCApps-wide standard.
- page-design-must-match-bc-page-type-conventions.md /
table-design-must-match-bc-table-type-conventions.md: Card's
single-key primary-key claim is a contextual heuristic, not a
mandatory constraint (Ship-to Address, Customer/Vendor Bank Account
are real composite-key Card pages); a Subsidiary table with its own
identity commonly gets List+Card, not Worksheet/Tabular.
- api-page-least-privilege-write-access.{md,good.al}: only page-placed
fields are ever exposed; set InsertAllowed/DeleteAllowed=false in the
good sample so a narrow field set can't still create/delete records.
- source-organized-by-feature-not-object-type.md,
test-one-when-per-test.md: scope as team/testing-design conventions,
not Microsoft platform requirements.
- upgrade-tag-logic-must-not-nest-deeply.md: add the Microsoft Learn
citation that already backs the two-level nesting limit.
- Wire the new articles into the testing/data-modeling/error-handling/
security/ui review skills' candidate-selection signals.

Second contribution from CURABIS ApS, generalized from patterns observed across real AppSource/PTE development. Cross-checked against the current microsoft/knowledge corpus before opening; several originally-drafted candidates were dropped as duplicates of existing files.
Move canonical knowledge for Microsoft-owned review domains into the Microsoft layer and document the skill/knowledge co-location policy.

The v1.4 policy deferred every missing-tooltip case to compiler analyzer AA0218. But AA0218 severity is per-app ruleset config and is routinely downgraded to info/None or disabled, so a genuine gap can ship unflagged. PR review is the last line of defence and should raise it independently.
Keeps the false-positive guard intact: a bound field whose source table field supplies a ToolTip still inherits it and is NOT flagged. Adds the genuinely-missing case (bound field whose source is also tooltip-less, or an unbound control) as a medium-severity finding. Updates both the ui inheritance article and the style AA0218 article.
* Add precision guards for systematic agent false-positive patterns
Encodes reviewer-confirmed FP guards from the online eval: tooltip-inherited, page-trigger default return, drill-down filter not visible in diff, dual-trigger CalcFields (do.md); and a released-baseline precondition for breaking-change/upgrade findings on never-shipped symbols.
* Scope suggested-code and location to exactly the changed lines
Addresses reviewer-reported misplaced suggestions from the eval: insert-only-property emitting the whole field, single-statement rewrites anchored on the procedure name, and reductive multi-line collapses. The skill now emits a location range that matches precisely the rewritten lines.
* Correct suggested-code scoping guidance to match one-click anchor mechanics
A lone inserted line matches no existing file line and cannot be anchored; bracket the new line with one adjacent unchanged line instead. Reductive collapses omit suggested-code and fall back to a manual snippet.
* Move BC-specific FP guards out of do.md into leaf skills
do.md is the stable action-skill template and must stay domain-agnostic (JesperSchulz review). Relocate the four known false-positive patterns to their domain leaves: ToolTip-inheritance to al-ui-review; drill-down/lookup filtering and CalcFields lifecycle to al-performance-review; page-trigger exit(true) semantics to al-error-handling-review.
* Move suggested-code line-scoping guidance out of do.md into al-code-review
do.md must not carry instructions for how the review skill behaves (JesperSchulz review). Relocate the location/suggested-code precise-span rules to al-code-review's existing Suggested-code guidance section. do.md is now unchanged vs main.
* Move false-positive guards from skills into knowledge files
Keep review skills slim (finders/appliers). The FP guards and released-baseline preconditions previously embedded in leaf skills become negative-clarification knowledge articles in their domains, and the agent-findings policy edits to al-ui/al-privacy are reverted to main. Adds 6 knowledge files: error-handling (page-boolean-triggers-default-to-true), ui (bound-page-field-inherits-source-field-tooltip), performance (calcfields-in-both-getrecord-triggers-is-not-redundant, page-effective-filter-may-live-outside-the-diff), breaking-changes (unreleased-symbol-change-is-not-a-breaking-change), upgrade (unreleased-schema-change-needs-no-upgrade-path).
* Revert branch's suggested-code scoping addition in al-code-review
The three location-span shapes added to al-code-review are output-format mechanics, not domain knowledge: one-click span correctness is the engine's job (Resolve-SuggestionPlacement) and do.md already owns the suggested-code/location contract. The AL concerns the examples illustrate are already covered by existing knowledge (use-isempty-for-existence-check, data-classification-required-on-pii-fields, no-space-before-method-parenthesis). Restores al-code-review to main; the branch now adds only the 6 knowledge files.
* Restore al-ui/al-privacy review skills to base (zero diff in PR)
These two leaf skills carried an accidental net change against the PR merge-base because an earlier revert used the current origin/main (post-#110) instead of the branch base (pre-#110). Restoring them to the merge-base version removes them from the PR diff entirely. Three-way merge still preserves main's #110 suppression.

* Align field obsoletion sample baselines
Use Email field ID 3 as the shared baseline so the bad example demonstrates a same-ID rename while the good example retains the original field and adds a separate replacement.

The previous LLM-generated knowledge files contained factual
hallucinations. The most visible was the claim that `FindFirst` /
`FindLast` "forces a full-table scan" on an unfiltered record - it does
not; those APIs return a single row via the current key.
Other inaccuracies the audit found and fixed:
* `FindSet(true)` was described as "taking a LockTable". The correct
upstream phrasing is that `FindSet(true)` sets
`ReadIsolation::UpdLock` on the read. UpdLock and LockTable are
related but distinct mechanisms.
* The list of production-scale tables had been invented beyond the
upstream source (e.g. "Detailed Cust. Ledg. Entry") without a
citation. The regenerated list matches the ten tables upstream lists
with their P95 row counts.
* `SetLoadFields` guidance had been augmented with an extra mechanism
claim ("the database resolves the filter using the index without
hydrating the value") not present in upstream.
Approach: full regeneration of `microsoft/knowledge/` from the six
upstream BCApps Code Review instruction files, with Microsoft Learn /
the AL language reference as a secondary source. Every claim in every
regenerated file is anchored to a verbatim upstream quote (or a Learn
URL); the audit trail lives in artifacts/trace-<domain>.json on the
session workspace.
The PR #11 transaction/error-handling cluster is preserved verbatim:
* performance/understand-implicit-transaction-boundary.md
* performance/codeunit-run-as-atomic-sub-operation.{md,good.al,bad.al}
* performance/codeunit-run-requires-prior-commit-inside-transaction.{md,good.al,bad.al}
* performance/use-tryfunction-for-error-catching-not-rollback.{md,good.al,bad.al}
* performance/avoid-commit-inside-loops.{md,good.al,bad.al}
* security/commitbehavior-attribute-scopes-explicit-commits.{md,good.al,bad.al}
* testing/transactionmodel-attribute-governs-test-transactions.{md,good.al,bad.al}
These articles already cite Microsoft Learn and were carefully
cross-referenced; the regeneration skips their topics rather than
duplicating them.
File counts after regeneration:
performance 35 .md (5 preserved + 30 new)
privacy 17 .md
security 18 .md (1 preserved + 17 new)
style 33 .md
testing 1 .md (preserved)
ui 19 .md
upgrade 18 .md
Total 141 atomic knowledge files, each strictly one rule. All pass

Adds 55 articles (plus 76 code samples) spanning four new domains and
two existing domains, extracted from the internal Business Central
review-agent prompt. Content was filtered against BCQuality's
remedial-knowledge premise: each article encodes BC-specific behaviour,
a CodeCop rule, a platform API semantic, or an anti-false-positive
guideline that a capable LLM would otherwise get wrong.
New domains:
- privacy (11 articles): DataClassification inheritance semantics, the
StrSubstNo-defeats-Error-telemetry-classification pitfall, Privacy
Notice consent for outgoing requests, anti-false-positives for pages
and in-memory data.
- upgrade (11 articles): upgrade-codeunit structure, upgrade-tag
lifecycle and registration, protected DB reads, DataTransfer for
large datasets, InitValue semantics, enum-ordinal preservation,
obsolete-workflow, first-install detection.
- ui (9 articles): caption capitalization by phrase type, tooltip voice,
teaching-tip vs tooltip, tour-tip conventions, character limits,
banned terms, ampersand handling, title punctuation.
- style (11 articles): label-suffix convention, API page naming,
temporary-variable prefix, label properties (Comment/Locked), named
invocations, FieldCaption in user messages, OptionCaption pairing,
Error-parameter passing, `this` keyword, required parentheses, file
naming.
Gaps in existing domains:
- performance (11 articles): production-scale table catalog (no row
counts, per internal-data concern), anti-false-positive for bounded
tables, guard-before-Get ordering, redundant-Get-in-OnAfterGetRecord,
LockTable in read-only helpers, combined ModifyAll passes, writes in
OnAfterGetRecord, SetLoadFields heuristics, temporary-table
regressions, FlowField source-table widening, MaintainSQLIndex
disabling SIFT.
- security (2 articles): environment-specific hardcoded GUIDs,
ValidateTableRelation=false on user input.
Intentionally excluded: specific production P95 row-count numbers
(aggregated internal telemetry); rewritten as categorical guidance on
which tables to treat as production-scale without publishing sizes.
All articles use `bc-version: [all]` (applies to every BC version, per
the new schema sentinel). Validator passes with 0 errors / 0 warnings.
