CLAUDE.md, Test-DbaAvailabilityGroup - Document Microsoft SMO typo and fix property name
- Revert AvailabilityDatabaseId to AvailabilityDateabaseId (Microsoft's typo is correct) - Add comprehensive documentation about Microsoft SMO property name typos to CLAUDE.md - Skip -HealthCheck integration tests on AppVeyor (AG infrastructure not available) - Update golden rules summary to include SMO typo preservation The property AvailabilityDateabaseId contains a typo from Microsoft's SMO library. This is the actual property name and must be used as-is to work correctly. Co-authored-by: Chrissy LeMaire <potatoqualitee@users.noreply.github.com>

### Microsoft SMO Property Name Typos
304+
305+
**CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE**: Some Microsoft SMO (SQL Server Management Objects) properties contain typos in their official names. These are NOT errors - they are the actual property names you must use.
306+
307+
**Known typos that MUST be preserved:**
308+
309+
1. **`AvailabilityDateabaseId`** (with typo: "Dateabase" instead of "Database")
310+
- Used in: Availability Group DatabaseReplicaStates
311+
- Correct usage: `Where-Object AvailabilityDateabaseId -eq $db.UniqueId`
312+
- DO NOT "fix" this to `AvailabilityDatabaseId` - it will break the code
313+
314+
```powershell
315+
# CORRECT - Uses Microsoft's typo
316+
$databaseReplicaState = $replicaStates | Where-Object AvailabilityDateabaseId -eq $db.UniqueId
317+
318+
# WRONG - "Fixed" spelling will not work
319+
$databaseReplicaState = $replicaStates | Where-Object AvailabilityDatabaseId -eq $db.UniqueId
320+
```
321+
322+
**Important:** When reviewing or modifying code that uses SMO objects, verify the actual property names in Microsoft's documentation or SMO metadata before "correcting" apparent typos. The typo might be intentional (or at least unchangeable) in the SMO library.
