Systems and methods for collaborative editing of a procedure-flow graph. A repository stores a live graph of nodes and directed edges. A server implements:(i) a change-request engine creating a draft copy associated with a baseline identifier; (ii) a graph engine computing differences, detecting baseline mismatches, and performing a rebase that aligns draft nodes and edges to the current live graph using persistent identifiers and, when absent, similarity heuristics, while preserving topological order, validating mandatory navigation links, and merging non-conflicting edits; and (iii) a conflict-resolution engine presenting side-by-side views, enabling flow-scoped discard, and executing a placeholder-copy workflow that replays local edits onto a subgraph initialized from the live graph. An approval module publishes approved drafts and flags other drafts as out-of-date. Client devices render side-by-side views and accept inputs to initiate rebase, resolve conflicts, and submit drafts. Embodiments provide changes panels, draft navigation, and baseline provenance.

This device comprises: a reception unit whereby a message including a permanent identifier for a device, a first hash value generated with a dynamically updated first parameter serving as input, and a predetermined command is received from a first node; a storage unit that stores a permanent identifier allocated in advance to the device and a dynamically updated second parameter; and a control unit that generates a second hash value using the permanent identifier allocated in advance and the second parameter or the received first parameter as input. The control unit executes the predetermined command when the first hash value and the second hash value match.
