Implement ReminderSchedulerService orchestration logic
epic-assignment-follow-up-reminders-services-task-011 — Implement the concrete ReminderSchedulerService Dart class with injectable dependencies on ReminderEvaluationService, ReminderDispatchService, AssignmentContactTrackingRepository, and ReminderConfigRepository. Fetch all open assignments, iterate in batches, call ReminderEvaluationService per assignment, route remind results to reminder dispatch and escalate results to escalation dispatch, accumulate run result counts, and return a SchedulerRunResult summary.

Implementation Notes
Use a Stream> from the repository to enable lazy batch loading, or use offset-based pagination with a while loop and a hasMore flag — the latter is simpler and easier to test. Model EvaluationResult as a sealed class with three subtypes (Remind, Escalate, NoAction) so the routing switch is exhaustive and the compiler enforces all cases. Accumulate run results using a mutable _RunAccumulator helper class (private to the implementation file) that exposes increment methods — this keeps the main method readable. Wrap each per-assignment dispatch in a try/catch that catches Object and logs the error with the assignment ID before continuing.
Do not use Future.wait() for the entire assignment list at once — only within each batch — to bound concurrency and memory.
Testing Requirements
Unit tests using flutter_test with all dependencies mocked via mocktail. Required test scenarios: (1) empty assignment list returns SchedulerRunResult.empty(); (2) all assignments return EvaluationResult.remind → remindersDispatched count equals assignment count; (3) all assignments return EvaluationResult.escalate → escalationsDispatched count correct; (4) mixed results accumulate correctly across remind/escalate/noAction buckets; (5) one dispatch failure does not abort remaining assignments and failed assignment does not increment success counters; (6) batch size respected — verify repository paginated calls match expected batch boundaries. Integration test (optional, against Supabase local emulator): full run with 20 seeded open assignments across multiple batches.
The idempotency window (how long after a reminder is sent before another can be sent for the same assignment) is not explicitly specified. An incorrect window — too short, duplicate reminders appear; too long, a resolved and re-opened situation is not re-notified. This ambiguity could result in user-visible bugs post-launch.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Before implementation, define the idempotency window explicitly with stakeholders: a reminder is suppressed if a same-type notification record exists with sent_at within the last (reminder_days - 1) days. Document this rule as a named constant in the service with a comment referencing the decision.
Contingency: If the window is wrong in production, it is a single constant change with a hotfix deployment. The notification_log table allows re-processing without data migration.
For organisations with thousands of open assignments (e.g., NHF with 1,400 chapters), the daily scheduler query over all open assignments could time out or consume excessive Supabase compute units, especially if the contact tracking query lacks proper indexing.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Add a composite index on assignments(status, last_contact_date) before running performance tests. Use cursor-based pagination in the scheduler (query 500 rows at a time). Run a load test with 10,000 synthetic assignments as described in the feature documentation before merging.
Contingency: If the query is too slow for synchronous execution, move the evaluation to the Edge Function (cron trigger epic) and use Supabase's built-in parallelism. The service interface does not change, only the execution context.
If the push notification service fails (FCM outage, invalid device token) during dispatch, the in-app notification may already be persisted but the push is silently lost. Inconsistent state makes it impossible to report accurate delivery status.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Implement push dispatch and in-app persistence as separate operations with independent error handling. Record delivery_status as 'pending', 'delivered', or 'failed' on the notification_log row. Retry failed push deliveries up to 3 times with exponential backoff.
Contingency: If FCM is consistently unavailable, the in-app notification is still visible to the user, providing a degraded but functional fallback. Alert on consecutive push failures via the cron trigger's error logging.
