* Add monthly manual versioning: VERSION file + release-version workflow
* Version as major.minor (1.0); bump minor monthly, major for breaking
* Clarify BCQuality minor is monotonic and never resets across major bumps
* Align comment with engine X.Y.Z scheme (minor = Z)
* Document BCQuality versioning in README
* Drop PRReviewAgent reference from README versioning section
* Derive release version from git tags, drop VERSION file

Repair broken knowledge references and align review examples with canonical articles. Correct explicit version gates, restore a missing title, and recognize the plugin directory in the root guard.

The /custom/ layer is a template: in upstream microsoft/BCQuality it stays
empty by default and is meant to be populated only inside a fork or consumer
clone. PR #55 both targeted /custom/ and leaked a new top-level folder.
- skills/write.md: add a fork-precondition guard so authors (human or agent)
confirm they are not in microsoft/BCQuality before scaffolding /custom/ content.
- Guard custom layer workflow: auto-closes upstream PRs that add/modify /custom/
content beyond the template files, with a friendly redirect-to-fork comment.
- Flag new top-level entries workflow: posts an advisory (non-blocking) comment
when a PR introduces an unexpected top-level folder or file for maintainer review.
Both workflows run only on microsoft/BCQuality (never on forks) and read the PR
file list via the API without checking out or executing PR code.

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.
