Autosave and Concurrent editing (conflict resolution) in Drupal 8
summary
Introduces two Drupal 8 modules: Autosave Form v2.6 continuously sends per-user form snapshots (configurable interval, content-entity-only now) and keeps draft states for undo and offline/localStorage plans; autosaves either persist or clear depending on conflict module presence. Conflict 2.6 enables concurrent editing by comparing three entities (left/right/base), runs automatic merges when safe, exposes two events (entity conflict discovery and entity conflict resolution) for custom merging, highlights conflicted fields, and offers a dialog to pick or compose values (example: choose 20, 10, or enter 17) before saving.
