67962727f6 Fix ten focused correctness items plus sample links from Jesper's 2026-09-15 re-review
Six carried-over threads:
- api-page-least-privilege-write-access fixtures: added the mandatory
  EntityName/EntitySetName properties (AL0485).
- pages-must-not-contain-business-logic fixtures: Sales Line has no
  "Total Amount" field; replaced with the real "Line Amount" (field 103).
- test-feature-scenario-tags.good.al and test-one-when-per-test.good.al:
  CreatePriceHeader leaves a price list in Draft status, which price
  calculation ignores. Added Validate(Status, Active) + Modify before the
  sales line that depends on it. Verified Status field/enum against
  PriceListHeader.Table.al and PriceStatus.Enum.al in the BCApps clone.
- exposed-objects-must-be-in-a-permission-set.md: a published codeunit is
  a SOAP endpoint (SOAP is deprecated), not OData - Page/Query are the
  OData object types. Corrected and pointed new integrations at API
  pages/queries instead.
- al-error-handling-review.md: the log-writes-must-survive-rollback cue
  selected on Session.StartSession, which only appears in the compliant
  fix, never in the anti-pattern - the bad fixture could never be
  worklisted. Recued on the actual risk shape (log insert around a
  failed TryFunction/GetLastError* path, then raise/propagate), with
  StartSession as an explicit compliant discriminator instead.
- page-design-must-match-bc-page-type-conventions.md: the enum value is
  NavigatePage, not Navigate; noted the type list is a selected subset,
  not an exhaustive PageType catalogue (PromptDialog, ConfigurationDialog,
  UserControlHost, XmlPort also exist, out of this article's scope).

Four new correctness gaps:
- release-must-update-app-version.md: "the version is the only identity"
  was backwards - id is the app's stable identity, version identifies a
  release/code-state of it.
- defensive-vs-offensive-code-must-match-blast-radius.good.al: the "low
  blast radius" example had no else branch, so a failed Customer.Get()
  left the field at its prior/default value instead of the explicit
  chosen fallback the article claims to demonstrate. Added the else.
- bcpt-scenarios-must-be-app-specific.good.al: InitTest and both measured
  StartScenario/EndScenario sections were empty/comment-only, so the
  "app-specific" fixture measured no actual work. Filled in a real,
  self-contained header+line creation path.
- upgrade-tag-logic-must-not-nest-deeply.good.al: the flattened version
  dropped both safety conditions the bad fixture had (Discount % = 0,
  nonblank posting group), silently changing behavior instead of just
  removing nesting. Extracted the guarded update into a helper with both
  conditions preserved as early exits.

Also converted this PR's remaining plain-backtick "See sample:" sample
references (16 articles) to the READ-convention markdown-link form,
matching the fix already made on #156/#158.

Rebased onto upstream/main (conflicts in al-ui-review.md, al-style-review.md,
al-upgrade-review.md against merged upstream PRs - all additive, both
sides' worklist cues retained).

3842ef7138 Address second round of Jesper Schulz-Wedde's review on PR #157
- 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).

a4d85c3e9e Add 18 more community AL/BC patterns across appsource, data-modeling, error-handling, security, style, testing, ui, upgrade, and web-services
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.
