AI-Generated Docs and Alert Improvements for BusinessCentral.Sentinel

Описание: BusinessCentral.Sentinel is a free AppSource app that runs automated checks against your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment and flags potential issues — extensions in DEV scope, missing source code access, evaluation companies left in production, number series gaps, and more. This stream covers episode two of building and improving the app live, from merging community pull requests to wiring up proper alert descriptions and adding a usage instructions panel to the Sentinel Alerts page.

A big part of this session focuses on AI-generated documentation: using the Claude API to automatically generate rule documentation from AL source files for under $0.11 total. The tool reads each rule file, extracts purpose, what it checks, why it matters, and a recommendation — then outputs markdown ready for the GitHub wiki. For rules like SE-000007 (unused extensions), the AI picks up hardcoded app IDs directly from the source code and documents each one accurately.

The stream also walks through improving alert descriptions for SE-000001 through SE-000003, adding a Show Related Information action that navigates to Extension Management or the Companies page depending on the rule, implementing explicit "no autofix" messages where programmatic fixes aren't safe, and explaining why company deletion can't be auto-fixed from an extension without bypassing BC's built-in safety checks.

Streaming all kinds of coding for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
