# App Request Flow

Flow for new app requests and updates to existing apps

<!-- 
Mermaid Diagram Notes:
- All node labels MUST be wrapped in quotes ("text") when containing:
  * Special characters like parentheses ()
  * HTML tags like <br/>
  * Single quotes within text 'text'
  * Emojis combined with special characters
- Without quotes, Mermaid throws parsing errors like "Expecting 'SQE'..."
- Do NOT wrap the entire code block in quotes - breaks markdown rendering
-->
