43c9d5319c Fix two merge-critical correctness issues from Jesper's 2026-09-22 review
- api-page-key-fields-must-be-editable-on-insert.good.al and
  stored-derived-fields-must-not-be-exposed-directly.good.al: both were
  writable API pages missing DelayedInsert = true, contradicting this
  repo's own api-page-delayedinsert-true rule - the canonical "good"
  samples were teaching code BCQuality itself flags.
- dimension-management-wiring.good.al: UpdateDimensionSetID exited
  early when Customer.Get failed, leaving the previous customer's
  shortcut dimension and Dimension Set ID in place - the same staleness
  bug the InheritFromDimSetID = 0 fix (from the prior review round) was
  meant to prevent, just triggered by a failed lookup instead of a
  successful one. Now clears the shortcut field and recomputes with an
  empty source list on a failed lookup too, so GetDefaultDimID
  correctly returns an empty Dimension Set ID instead of never running.

faa0bceb86 Fix remaining correctness issues from Jesper's 2026-09-15 re-review
- dimension-management-wiring: SaveDefaultDim's third argument is the
  shortcut dimension number (1-8), not the field's AL field ID; the
  fixture passed FieldNo(...) = 10. GetDefaultDimID's InheritFromDimSetID
  must be 0 when recomputing after the linking record changes, not the
  document's existing Dimension Set ID (which would retain the previous
  customer's leftover dimensions). Verified against
  DimensionManagement.Codeunit.al and BankDepositHeader.Table.al in the
  BCApps reference clone.
- check-post-line-batch-pattern: "Post Line writes exactly one line to
  the ledger" overclaimed - Gen. Jnl.-Post Line alone calls InsertGLEntry
  from a dozen call sites (balancing entry, VAT, currency rounding,
  deferrals) and can write several G/L Entries per journal line.
  Reworded to "posts exactly one journal line" and softened the
  "distinct, non-overlapping responsibilities" absolute.
- namespace-must-be-verified-from-source.bad.al: dropped the "resolves
  in a local build, fails in VS Code" comment (taught an inherent
  compiler/language-server disagreement that isn't real); reframed as
  stale/cached symbols, matching the prose fix already made.
- file-datatype-saas.good.al: replaced the deprecated 5-argument
  UploadIntoStream overload with the current 2-argument one, and
  actually staged through TempBlob as the article's own Best Practice
  instructs (the declared TempBlob variable was previously unused).
- test-data-must-be-random-and-complete: no longer treats a
  short-but-valid value as defective merely for being "underfilled" -
  AL field lengths are maxima, not minimums. Scoped to missing values
  or a scenario with an explicit length/format requirement (e.g. a
  truncation test). Updated the al-testing-review.md routing cue to
  match.
- stored-derived-fields-must-not-be-exposed-directly: stopped mandating
  source-field exposure as part of the core pattern: the good fixture
  exposed only one of the derived value's two inputs (Hours Used, not
  Budgeted Hours), making the claimed "so the consumer can verify it"
  impossible. Reframed as an optional, all-or-nothing addition and
  fixed the fixture to expose both inputs.

Rebased onto upstream/main to resolve conflicts in
al-breaking-changes-review.md, al-data-modeling-review.md,
al-performance-review.md, and al-style-review.md against merged PRs
#148 and #153; all sides' worklist tokens/cues retained.

057e17c202 Add 18 community AL/BC patterns across style, data-modeling, web-services, appsource, breaking-changes, performance, and testing
Contributed by CURABIS ApS, generalized from patterns observed across real AppSource/PTE development. Each article follows the knowledge file format (frontmatter, Description/Best Practice/Anti Pattern, sibling .good.al/.bad.al samples).
