- Add database migration to make vendor.owner_user_id nullable - Update Vendor model to support company-based ownership (DEPRECATED vendor.owner_user_id) - Implement company_service with singleton pattern (consistent with vendor_service) - Create Company model with proper relationships to vendors and users - Add company exception classes for proper error handling - Refactor companies API to use singleton service pattern Architecture Change: - OLD: Each vendor has its own owner (vendor.owner_user_id) - NEW: Vendors belong to a company, company has one owner (company.owner_user_id) - This allows one company owner to manage multiple vendor brands Technical Details: - Company service uses singleton pattern (not factory) - Company service accepts db: Session as parameter (follows SVC-003) - Uses AuthManager for password hashing (consistent with admin_service) - Added _generate_temp_password() helper method
Generic single-database configuration.
