Follow-up Prompt for Next Iteration

"Design a React component architecture (with TypeScript interfaces) for a multi-tenant document management GUI that includes: global search, faceted document browsing, document detail with preview/versioning, collaboration (comments/tasks), and lifecycle workflows (review/approval/retention). Assume a separate backend API; focus on React components, state management, and routing patterns."
