This implementation adds a comprehensive revision tracking system for supervisory comments on logbook entries. It allows:
- **Full revision history** - Every supervisory review is stored with complete details
- **Amendment workflow** - Rejected entries can be amended by students and resubmitted
- **Transparent tracking** - Both students and supervisors can view the complete review history

## Database Schema

- `supervisor_feedback` - The feedback text provided
- `status` - Status assigned (Approved, Rejected, etc.)
- `revision_number` - Sequential revision number (1, 2, 3...)
- `comments` - Optional additional comments
