MergePlanner

MergePlan plan = new MergePlanner().CreatePlan(
    workspace, baseManifest, incomingEntries, new LocaleId("de"));

The planner compares base, current and incoming values. Rows are classified in order as duplicate ID, unknown ID, blank incoming, stale source, concurrent locale edit, unchanged or safe incoming change. Entries for other locales are skipped.

ProtectFormula prefixes values beginning with =, +, -, @, tab or carriage return with an apostrophe. UnprotectFormula removes only that recognized protection prefix.

ApplyCoordinator.ApplyPlan refuses unresolved conflicts, journals backups, writes accepted text and moves imported changes to NeedsReview. Rollback detects later edits unless force is true.

The journal is an in-memory model unless your caller persists it. Applying a plan does not itself call SetDirty or save assets.
