Seed Service Implementation

This directory contains the seed service implementation for Story 1.9: “Seed System Reference Values & Rule Defaults”.

Implementation Plan

The seed service will:

1. Seed Reference Values

   • Operational status values
   • Service template defaults
   • Extension-layer reference values

2. Configure Required-Field Rules

   • Default readiness fields for election-cycle jobs
   • Evaluation capability for Epic 2's readiness status feature

3. Set Up Escalation Rule Defaults

   • Default rules covering overdue milestone alert scenarios
   • FR30 compliance

4. Ensure Idempotency

   • Seed operation is fully idempotent
   • No duplicate records on multiple runs

5. Maintain Separation

   • Admin-managed values persist independently
   • Seed does not overwrite admin changes

Files

• ISeedService.cs - Interface defining seed service contract
• SeedService.cs - Implementation of seed service

Implementation Notes

In a complete implementation, this service would:

• Interact with a database context
• Check if seeding has already occurred
• Create seed data with proper constraints
• Handle idempotent operations
• Be registered in the DI container
