Adding a new synced table

Reference walkthroughs for adding a new table to the open-mSupply server and wiring it into sync. Both build on the Sync V7 specification — read the relevant parts of that first to understand the mechanism (the changelog, sync styles, integration order, the sync buffer, and the sync_request re-sync used after a v7 migration).

Pick the guide that matches your situation:

• Adding a new table (V7 sync) — the simplest case: a brand-new table that needs to sync over V7 only (no legacy central mSupply support).
• Integrating a v5/v6 table (+ V7) — a table that already syncs in central mSupply over v5/v6 but isn't processed by open-mSupply yet. Adds the legacy translation on top of the repository + V7 work, so the table integrates over both transports.

Both guides use a fictional widget table with full code for every file that changes, and end with the verification commands. They assume the Sync V7 and Sync styles pages for the underlying concepts.
