/**
 * Put caller-written AxForm / AxFormExtension XML into the namespace layout every
 * shipped file has, before it is written.
 *
 * Census of K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory (2026-10-10): of all the AOT root
 * types, only AxForm (9,442 of 9,442 files) and AxFormExtension (1,088 of 1,088)
 * declare xmlns="Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.V6" — no other root does, anywhere.
 * Inside those files the rule holds for all 5.6 million elements without one
 * exception: the root and its children are in V6, everything from the grandchildren
 * down is in no namespace (each grandchild carries its own xmlns="").
 *
 * Why it matters: a form extension written without the namespace BUILDS — xppc
 * accepts it — but xppbp reports "Error reading FormExtension … not found", so the
 * object is broken in a way the build never shows. That is what a benchmark agent
 * handed d365fo_file(action="create", form-extension, xmlContent=…) and got ✅ for.
