Move repository interfaces to Application layer

Refactored IRepository<T> and ICatalogRepository to reside in the DbFirst.Application layer instead of Domain. Updated namespaces, using statements, and all references in services and handlers. Adjusted csproj dependencies to reflect the new structure. Updated comments to clarify Clean Architecture rationale and improved separation of concerns.

 //TODO: create generic service to reduce code duplication

-/* Copilot's Response:
-A generic CRUD base service adds little value in your case:
-
-Pros:
-• Less boilerplate for simple entities without special logic.
-• Uniform CRUD signatures.
-
-Cons/Practical here:
-• Domain logic differs per entity(unique title check, setting audit fields, forbidding title changes, stored procs with output GUID).
-• Generic services tend to be diluted by virtual methods/hooks for special cases—ending up with per-entity overrides and little real gain.
-• With stored procedures and output parameters, the pattern doesn’t fit cleanly because operations aren’t symmetric (separate procs for insert/update/delete).
-
-Conclusion: For this solution a generic service would be more overhead than benefit. If you later have multiple very similar entities without special logic,
-you could consider a lightweight generic interface/base; for now, the specialized service implementation is cleaner. */

-/* Copilot's Response:
-
-A generic Repository<T> isn’t really worthwhile here:
-    • Reads from the view are generic, but inserts/updates/deletes go through stored procedures with special parameters/output GUIDs.You’d need lots of exceptions/overrides—little gain.
-    • Operations aren’t symmetric (separate procs for insert/update/delete with output handling and reload), so a one-size-fits-all CRUD pattern doesn’t fit well.
-    • Better to keep the specialized repo.If you want reuse, extract small helpers (e.g., for proc calls/output parameters/reload) instead of forcing a generic repository. */

-/* Copilot's Response:
-
-    • Common: Keep the interface in the Domain layer, implementation in Infrastructure. Domain defines the data access contract, Infrastructure provides the implementation.
-    That matches typical DDD/Clean Architecture.
-    • Alternative: Move the interface to the Application layer. Then only Application depends on Infrastructure, Domain stays isolated from infra contracts.
-    Pro: Domain contains only models/rules.
-    Con: If Domain logic needs repos, it would depend on Application, weakening the layer separation.
-    Recommendation: Keep the interface in Domain. It’s conventional, clean, and avoids a Domain -> Application dependency. Implementation stays in Infrastructure. */
