"User views conflict analysis on /conflicts/:id/analysis page; client fetches analysis data from /api/conflicts/:id/analysis.",
"User accesses /conflicts/:id/resolution to view/edit resolution proposals; client GETs current data and POSTs updates to /api/conflicts/:id/resolution.",
"Dashboard page (/dashboard) fetches filtered conflict summaries via GET /api/conflicts with query params for user/project/status filters.",
