Workspace compilation now finds altool both in the platform-specific subfolder (`compiler/extension/bin/win32` or `.../linux`) and directly under `compiler/extension/bin`, so a `vsixFile` using the flat (framework-dependent / marketplace) layout no longer fails with "Could not find AL tool in the compiler folder". URL-based `customCodeCops` are likewise downloaded to the flat `bin` folder when no `Analyzers` subfolder is present. The aldoc tool used for reference documentation is resolved the same way, falling back to the flat `bin` folder when no platform subfolder is present.

### Local development environments use cacheImageName

localDevEnv now passes the configured cacheImageName to Run-AlPipeline, allowing BcContainerHelper to reuse artifact-specific images.
To retain the previous behavior, set `cacheImageName` to an empty string in .AL-Go/localDevEnv.settings.json.

### Issues

- Issue 2285 - CheckForUpdates now handles settings file `$schema` reordering in a PowerShell 5-safe way to avoid writing invalid entries like `"*": null` to settings JSON files.
