Describe the feature you'd like

Implements a simple page verification workflow using native BookStack features:

Pages pending review are tagged Needs Verification and placed in a private Book.

Only Verifier role can access this Book.

Once verified, pages are moved to public Books for visibility.

No core changes; uses permissions + tags + process discipline.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Enables pre-publication review of content without needing core changes or external plugins.

Provides a simple content approval workflow, improving content quality and governance.

Allows organizations to implement editor/reviewer roles while keeping draft content hidden from general users.

Leverages existing BookStack features (permissions, Books, tags) — easy to adopt and maintain.

Improves content trustworthiness by ensuring only verified pages are visible to all readers.
