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.

Use IsolatedStorage for module and company secrets
Seed article. Converted from an existing security-review prompt to bootstrap the BCQuality security corpus. Domain stewards should expand, restructure, and refine as needed.
Description
IsolatedStorage is a per-extension, per-tenant key-value store. DataScope::Module isolates values to the extension across the tenant; DataScope::Company scopes them to a single company within the tenant. The SetEncrypted method stores the value encrypted at rest; Set stores it in plaintext. SetEncrypted accepts inputs up to 215 characters (special characters may consume more space).
Best Practice
Use IsolatedStorage.SetEncrypted to write secrets, IsolatedStorage.Contains to probe, and IsolatedStorage.Get into a SecretText destination to read. Choose DataScope::Company for per-company credentials (for example, a tenant-per-company service account) and DataScope::Module for extension-wide configuration.
See sample: use-isolated-storage-for-module-and-company-secrets.good.al.
Anti Pattern
Storing secrets in a Setup table column as plain Text, or using IsolatedStorage.Set (unencrypted) for values that authenticate the extension to an external service. Both shapes leave the secret readable by anyone with read rights on the underlying storage.
