ALCops: LinterCop's Successor for Business Central AL Code Analysis (feat Arthur van de Vondervoort)

Описание: ● ALCops replaces BusinessCentral.LinterCop with six domain-specific AL code analyzers for
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — distributed via NuGet, with a VS Code extension
and an MCP server for AI-assisted code review.

In this stream I sit down with Arthur van de Vondervoort, who took over LinterCop and
eventually built something bigger. ALCops splits into six analyzers (ApplicationCop,
DocumentationCop, FormattingCop, LinterCop, PlatformCop, TestAutomationCop), fixes the
GitHub rate-limit DLL problem by moving to NuGet, ships 30 code fixes (up from 5-6),
rewrites rule severities from scratch, and adds an MCP server so tools like Claude Code
and Cursor can analyze your AL project and apply fixes directly.

We cover the architecture decisions, the move to its own GitHub organization, the improved
TransferFields rule, and what the deprecation of LinterCop means for existing pipelines.
