Organization Persistence Repository
Component Detail
Description
Data access layer responsible for reading and writing the selected organization ID to device-local storage (SharedPreferences). Abstracts the storage mechanism so the service layer is not coupled to a specific persistence library.

Summaries
The Organization Persistence Repository ensures that users' organization preferences are reliably remembered between app sessions, eliminating the need to re-select their organization every time they open the application. This small but critical component directly improves daily user experience and reduces support requests related to repeated configuration prompts. By abstracting the underlying storage mechanism, it also future-proofs the application against changes in mobile storage technology — protecting the business from costly re-engineering if storage libraries need to be updated or replaced across iOS and Android deployments.
This is a low-complexity data layer component with a single dependency on the local storage adapter, making it one of the earliest deliverables in the mobile data layer. A junior-to-mid developer can implement and test it within two to three days. It is a foundational dependency for the Organization Selection Service, so it must be completed and verified before service-layer integration work begins — plan it early in the sprint to avoid blocking downstream tasks. Testing should cover save, load, and clear operations including null/empty state handling and behavior on first install when no value is stored.
No network or backend dependencies reduce deployment risk to near zero.
A thin repository wrapping Flutter's `SharedPreferences` plugin, this component exposes three async operations: `saveSelectedOrgId(String orgId)`, `loadSelectedOrgId()` returning `Future
