🔐 Approval Workflow

Non-admin users sending knowledge updates go through approval:

1. Rule-based filter - Quick keyword detection (記錄/更新/邀請了/進度...)
2. LLM confirmation - qwen3-vl:4b confirms intent to reduce false positives
3. Admin notification - Lman receives DM with Approve/Reject buttons
4. User feedback - Submitter gets confirmation or rejection notice
