+-- ATOMIC APPROVAL TRANSACTION - Phase 1 Implementation
+-- ============================================================================
+-- This migration creates RPC functions that wrap the entire approval flow
+-- in a single PostgreSQL transaction for true atomic rollback.
+--
+-- Key Benefits:
+-- 1. True ACID transactions - all-or-nothing guarantee
+-- 2. Automatic rollback on ANY error (no manual cleanup needed)
+-- 3. Network-resilient (edge function crash = auto rollback)
+-- 4. Eliminates orphaned entities
+-- 5. Simplifies edge function from 2,759 lines to ~200 lines
+-- ============================================================================
+
+-- Create metrics table for monitoring transaction performance
