- 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
