Ingests net-new /community knowledge from BC Code Intelligence, surviving the admission test, gray-zone salvage, and dedup against the full corpus. Domains: ui (6), error-handling (3), performance (2), upgrade (1), appsource (1), security (1), telemetry (1). The two BC24 No. Series migration drafts are merged into one article. Adds good/bad AL samples for the clean-fit articles (error-handling, performance, security, telemetry). UI and appsource remain knowledge-only. Validator and knowledge-index checks pass (207 articles). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Default TelemetryScope to ExtensionPublisher, not All

## Description
|
|
|
|
The `TelemetryScope` parameter of `Session.LogMessage` (and `LogError`) controls *where* a custom telemetry signal is routed, not just whether it is emitted. `TelemetryScope::ExtensionPublisher` sends the signal only to the extension publisher's own Application Insights resource. `TelemetryScope::All` sends it to **both** the publisher's resource **and** the customer's environment-level Application Insights resource. The distinction is easy to get wrong because both values compile and both "emit telemetry" — but `All` silently adds to the customer's ingestion volume and cost.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
Default to `TelemetryScope::ExtensionPublisher` for diagnostic telemetry that only the publisher acts on. Reserve `TelemetryScope::All` for signals the customer's own administrators are expected to monitor and act on (for example, a business event surfaced to their environment telemetry). Treat the choice as a deliberate routing decision per signal, not a copy-paste default.
|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
Emitting all custom telemetry with `TelemetryScope::All` "to be safe." This pushes the publisher's internal diagnostics into every customer's Application Insights, inflating their ingestion cost and burying their own signals in noise — a footgun a code reviewer can catch by flagging `All` on any signal the customer would not act on.
