In this open-source BOM tool, an agent stages edits into a change request, but a submitted request could not be changed, so fixing one quantity meant withdrawing it and restaging everything. The PR lets people edit until the request is applied, logs every post-submission edit for the agent to read back, and counts anyone in the log as an author so a reviewer cannot rewrite an ECO and approve their own rewrite.
