Fix XML view/fragment issues that UI5 linter reports but cannot auto-fix. Use this skill when linter outputs these rules: - \`no-globals\` - For ALL global variable access in XML views — sap.\*, jQuery.\*, AND app-namespace globals (e.g., com.example.app.utils.Handler.onPress, my.app.formatter.method) - \`no-ambiguous-event-handler\` - For event handlers without dot prefix or local name - \`no-deprecated-api\` - For legacy template:require syntax (space-separated) Trigger on XML view/fragment files with errors about global variables, event handlers, formatters, type references in bindings, factory functions, or template:require. Automatically adds core:require declarations, fixes event handler prefixes, and handles .bind($control) for functions that use 'this'. IMPORTANT: The linter reports app-namespace globals in XML under \`no-globals\` — these MUST be fixed by this skill, NOT deferred to fix-linter-blind-spots. For native HTML or SVG in XML views, use the fix-xml-native-html skill instead.
