Appaca prompt

Build a budget approval workflow app for annual and ad-hoc budget requests. Submitters provide department, budget period, line items (category, amount, rationale), and supporting data. Route to department VP for first approval, then CFO for requests above $50,000 or for new headcount additions. Track approval status per request, send reminders for overdue reviews, and produce a summary of all approved budgets by department.
