Research direction

Start by reading RFC #112, RFC 85, and the linked mockup to understand the proposed scope for image and document versioning. The issue leaves drafts, publishing, locking, workflows, and audit trails as TBC, so the completion criteria and implementation entry points are not yet defined.
