Declaration Template Repository
Component Detail
Description
Manages organization-specific confidentiality declaration templates stored in the database. Provides versioned template retrieval so that historical declarations reference the template version active at time of generation.

Summaries
The Declaration Template Repository ensures that every confidentiality agreement sent to drivers accurately reflects the organization's approved legal language at the time it was issued. By versioning templates, the organization is protected against disputes where a driver claims they signed a different version of the agreement. This reduces legal exposure and supports compliance with employment and data protection regulations. Organizations can update their declaration templates as policies evolve without invalidating historical records, providing a defensible audit position and demonstrating governance maturity to regulators and enterprise clients who audit vendor compliance practices.
This is a low-complexity data component with no external dependencies, making it a safe early deliverable in the declaration feature timeline. Development effort is minimal — primarily CRUD operations plus a versioning mechanism — but it must be completed before any declaration generation or delivery work begins, as it is a foundational dependency. Testing should cover version retrieval accuracy and ensure that updates to active templates do not retroactively alter previously issued declarations. The versioning logic requires careful schema design, so a brief architecture review before implementation is recommended to avoid costly migration work later.
Declaration Template Repository is a backend data component managing the `declaration_template` data model. It exposes five interface methods: `getActiveTemplate(orgId)` returns the current live template for an organization, while `getTemplateVersion(orgId, version)` enables historical lookups for declarations generated against older versions. `insertTemplate` and `updateTemplate` handle content mutations, with `listTemplateVersions` supporting administrative review. Versioning should be implemented as an append-only insert strategy — each `updateTemplate` call inserts a new row and marks the previous as inactive rather than mutating in place.
This preserves referential integrity for declarations that embed a `template_version_id` foreign key. No external service dependencies simplify testing via direct DB fixtures.
Responsibilities
- Store and retrieve org-specific declaration templates
