Add comments on generic repo pattern limitations

Browse Source 
Added Copilot comments explaining why a generic repository is unsuitable due to stored procedure complexities and asymmetric CRUD operations. Suggested keeping specialized repositories and extracting helpers for reuse. Also added a TODO to move the interface to the application layer for clean architecture.

/* 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. */
