Approval boundaries are now part of the run record
A clearer way to see what the worker completed, what it proposed, and where a person made the final call.

A result without its decision path is incomplete
When AI touches operational work, the final output is only part of what an owner needs to understand. They also need to know which sources were used, which actions were attempted, and whether a person approved a consequential step.
The run record now treats the approval boundary as a first-class event. A proposal, the requested reviewer, the decision, and the following action sit in the same chronological record as the rest of the work.
Three states make the boundary legible
We reduced the approval path to three states that an operator can interpret quickly. The worker can prepare, a person can decide, and the worker can continue only within the result of that decision.
An approval is not a break in the workflow. It is a visible part of how the workflow completes safely.
- Proposed: the worker has prepared an action and the evidence behind it.
- Decided: an authorised reviewer approved or declined the proposal.
- Recorded: the action taken, or intentionally not taken, is attached to the run.
Owners can design different boundaries for different work
Not every action carries the same consequence. Reading a project file, drafting an internal summary, sending an external message, and changing a financial record should not inherit one blanket permission model.
During implementation, the owner decides which actions may proceed, which always require approval, and which are unavailable to the worker. The run record then shows that policy as it operated on the specific case.
The record supports improvement as well as review
Approval history can reveal where a workflow is too cautious, where proposals regularly need correction, or where an exception path is missing. Those patterns are useful signals for improving the responsibility without silently changing its authority.
The goal is not to remove every approval. It is to put human judgement where it matters and make the surrounding work as complete and inspectable as possible.
