[Pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/AL-Go/pull/2304) · merged into `main` on 2026-07-10 by aholstrup1 · 5 files (+137 -14), 2 AL · feature · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## What changed

- Get-ALTool probes nested bin/win32 or bin/linux paths first, then falls back to flat bin folder
- Get-CustomAnalyzers downloads to bin/Analyzers when present, otherwise to flat bin
- DownloadAlDoc resolves aldoc in nested or flat bin locations
- Enables workspace compilation with marketplace-packaged VSIX files that use flat layout
- Mirrors BcContainerHelper's existing dual-layout support for consistency
- Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
