It would be up to application logic. This prototype essentially offers the same behavior you would get with a traditional backend API except it works offline. The results would be the same as if clients made those calls to a backend api, that is, up to application logic. My idea was that it's essentially impossible to have generic "conflict resolution" that follows arbitrary business rules so I made the business rules _be_ the conflict resolution. For any given situation the answer to "how would it handle a then b then c" is "the same as any normal backend api, per regular business logic, except it works offline".
