What problem does it solve?

Extend the better-data Presenter by enabling a fluent builder with methods such as rename, mask, format, compute, or by adding a PresentationContext flag. The Presenter is a mutable builder around a readonly DTO, and the wrapped DataObject NEVER mutates. CollectionPresenter records every configurer as a closure on the configurers and replays them per item in toArray. The contract requires that any new method emitting values from the DTO honors sensitiveFieldNames; a bypass would be a security regression. Localized strings require LocaleScope::runIn so withLocale works. Use when adding mask, formatDate-like, hideIf, or context-aware methods. Triggers on changes to Presenter, CollectionPresenter, PresentationContext, or Formatter.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fluent methods on Presenter and CollectionPresenter (rename, mask, format, compute).
• PresentationContext flags to tailor rendering per context (REST, admin, export) and locale-aware rendering.
• Formatter namespace for reusable transformations under Formatter/ (e.g., DateFormatter, CurrencyFormatter).

Quick Start

Create a new fluent Presenter method following existing patterns and mirror it on CollectionPresenter to apply it to collections.
