Description

I want to avoid editor conflicts since, in my experience, an editor will often make a mistake during conflict resolution.

So I'd like to either have a way to "lock" tasks within a certain radius of a task currently being mapped or a way to de-prioritize those tasks (e.g., if no editor working on task within 5 km, then task is high priority, else if editor is working on a task within 5 km but more than 3 km away, then task is medium priority, else if editor is working on a task less than 3 km away, then task is low priority).

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating how task priorities and currently edited tasks are represented, then clarify whether the desired outcome is radius-based locking or priority changes; done should include an agreed behavior and tests for the distance thresholds.
