briosandAnthony Stirling 4a2329ab6d refactor(hibernate): implement manual Hibernate-compliant equals/hashCode for entity classes (#6433)
# Description of Changes


This PR refactors our JPA entity classes to replace Lombok's `@Data` and
auto-generated `@EqualsAndHashCode` annotations with explicit Lombok
annotations and custom, JPA-compliant `equals()` and `hashCode()`
implementations.

### Rationale
Lombok's default `@Data` and `@EqualsAndHashCode` annotations are not
recommended for JPA entities. They often lead to:
- Severe performance issues (e.g., loading lazy collections when
evaluating `hashCode` or `toString`).
- Identity mismatches or collection bugs (e.g., when database-generated
IDs transition from `null` to assigned, breaking the entity's lookup in
a `Set` or `Map`).
This change ensures all JPA entities use safe Hibernate proxy checking
and use only the entity's database identifier for equality and hash code
calculations.
