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.

# Keep event subscribers lightweight

> **Seed article.** Converted from an existing performance-review prompt to bootstrap the BCQuality performance corpus. Domain stewards should expand, restructure, and refine as needed.

## Description
|
|
|
|
Event subscribers run synchronously on the publisher's thread. If a subscriber does heavy work — a database query, a web service call, a layout render — every caller of the publisher pays that cost. Subscribers on hot events (OnAfterValidate on common fields, OnBeforeInsert on ledger-entry-like tables) can multiply a small per-call cost into a system-wide regression.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
Keep subscribers small: guard early with inexpensive checks, defer heavy work to a task queue or a background session, and cache results across invocations when the data is stable.
|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
Calling an external web service, running a report, or iterating a large table from inside an event subscriber on a hot publisher makes every operation on that publisher as slow as the heaviest subscriber.
