ManageEntity

What problem does it solve?

Guidelines for creating, maintaining, and modifying domain entities in the odu_core project.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Identity type selection and guidance for choosing between GuidEntity, SerialEntity, and Entity<T>, including recommended ID patterns (GuidEntity.newId(), SerialEntity.unsavedId) and when to use each.
• Required structure and patterns: a public constructor receiving all fields, creation factories, encapsulation of internal state, domain methods, and clear update semantics.
• Validation and documentation practices: overriding validate(), defining domain-specific failures, and documenting non-obvious rules and side effects.

Quick Start

Model a new domain entity by defining a public constructor with all fields, add a creation factory, enforce encapsulation, and implement validate() with your invariants.
