Approval gates

Pause a Process run until a person decides. Approve to resume it, reject to cancel it, from the dashboard or the mobile app.

An Approval gate is a Step that pauses a Process run with status awaiting_approval and raises an Approval. Approving resumes the Process run; rejecting cancels it. Approval gates behave the same under every Topology.

Resolving an Approval needs write access to the Process run. If no live Worker could carry the decision forward, an approve is refused rather than recorded as approved.

The mobile app can register a push token, so pending Approvals reach a phone.
