Rules and approvals

Rules identify conditions to review. An authorised person remains responsible for consequential local decisions.

Not provider execution. The current preview can record a local decision and outbox intent. It does not book, label, manifest, track, write back, notify, or prove that an external provider accepted work.

Before approving

Confirm the active workspace and order.
Read the named hold reason and current revision.
Review the before-and-after correction.
Confirm the latest validation evidence is passed and current.
Check whether another named approval is required.
Approve only the local operation shown.

When approval is unavailable

Reason	What to do
Validation failed	Correct the named issue and run validation again.
Evidence is stale	Reload the record and review the current revision.
Authority denied	Do not change identifiers or retry in another workspace; ask an authorised owner.
Approval already recorded	Review the existing evidence rather than duplicating the decision.
Provider outcome unknown	Do not approve another attempt as a substitute for reconciliation.

What is still roadmap

Production policy management, simulation, scheduled activation, automated approvals, live provider action, and externally delivered events remain discovery or roadmap work. Availability will be announced only with an updated public contract and acceptance evidence.
