Drop-In Approval Workflow

One behavior on a Table turns saves into pending drafts. The original record stays untouched until an admin approves the proposal.

🖥️

Admin Diff Viewer

Side-by-side and inline diffs (word-level when jfcherng/php-diff is installed), status badges, filters, and one-click approve/reject with reasons.

🔀

3-Way Merge

Stale proposals merge automatically when the source record changed independently. Non-overlapping edits combine; conflicts surface for manual resolution.

📝

Draft-Safe Re-Edits

Users editing the same record see and update their own pending draft instead of stacking duplicates. Auto-supersede keeps the queue clean.

🎛️

Flexible Bypass

Exempt user lists, custom bypass callbacks, or per-save `bypassBouncer` flags — integrate cleanly with policies, roles, or admin tooling.

Pairs With AuditStash

Bouncer logs the approval workflow; AuditStash logs the data changes that the approval applies. Together — full audit trail.
