Implement DynamicsExporter: Payload Serialization
epic-accounting-system-export-engine-task-006 — Extend the DynamicsExporter with payload serialization that produces a Dynamics-portal-compatible export payload (JSON format matching portal import schema). Use the CSV/JSON File Generator for consistent file output. Ensure field names, data types, and encoding match Dynamics portal import requirements for HLF. Return the payload wrapper for downstream processing.

Implementation Notes
Use `dart:convert`'s `jsonEncode` (via `json.encode`) for all serialization — never build JSON via `StringBuffer` concatenation. Define a `toJson()` method on `DynamicsMappedRecord` that returns `Map
The `exportedAt` timestamp should be UTC (`DateTime.now().toUtc().toIso8601String()`). The `CsvJsonFileGenerator` component can still be used for the JSON serialization path if it supports JSON array/object output — use it for consistency, but do not force a CSV code path. Confirm with HLF whether the Dynamics portal import accepts a raw JSON file upload or requires a multipart form POST — the serialization layer (this task) is the same either way, but the upload mechanism will differ and should be noted in the API integration task.
Testing Requirements
Unit tests using `flutter_test`. Required scenarios: (1) 3-record batch produces valid JSON parseable by `jsonDecode`; (2) top-level structure has `batchReference`, `exportedAt`, `records` keys; (3) amount `150.00` serialized as JSON number `150.00`, not `"150.00"` string; (4) date serialized as ISO 8601 UTC string; (5) `batchReference` in payload matches `exportRunId` in wrapper; (6) empty mapped records returns `ValidationError`; (7) `exportedClaimIds` in wrapper matches input; (8) JSON with a string field containing special characters (`&`, `<`, `>`, `"`) is correctly escaped. Golden file snapshot test: generate JSON from fixed 2-record input and assert exact output matches stored fixture.
The Xledger CSV/JSON import specification may not be available in full detail at implementation time. If the field format, column ordering, encoding requirements, or required fields differ from assumptions, the generated file will be rejected by Xledger on first production use.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Obtain the official Xledger import specification document from Blindeforbundet before starting XledgerExporter implementation. Build a dedicated acceptance test that validates a sample export file against all documented constraints.
Contingency: If the spec arrives late, implement a configurable column-mapping layer so that field order and names can be adjusted via configuration without code changes. Ship a file-based export that coordinators can manually verify before connecting to Xledger import.
The atomic claim-marking transaction in Double-Export Guard could fail under high concurrency if two coordinators trigger an export for overlapping date ranges simultaneously, potentially allowing duplicate exports to proceed past the guard.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Use a database-level advisory lock or a SELECT FOR UPDATE on the relevant claim rows within the export transaction to serialize concurrent exports per organization. Add an integration test that simulates concurrent export triggers.
Contingency: If locking proves problematic at the database level, implement an application-level distributed lock using a Supabase row in a dedicated export_locks table with an expiry timestamp and automatic cleanup on failure.
HLF's Dynamics portal API endpoint may not be available or documented in time for Phase 1, leaving DynamicsExporter unable to be validated against a real system and potentially shipping with an incorrect field schema.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Design DynamicsExporter for file-based export first (CSV/JSON download), with the API push implemented behind a feature flag. Request a Dynamics test environment or sandbox from HLF as early as possible.
Contingency: Ship DynamicsExporter as a file export only for Phase 1. Phase the API push integration into a follow-on task once the Dynamics sandbox is available, using the same AccountingExporter interface with no breaking changes.
