Editorial review pendingon version support under review
Action boundary
Before you act
- Expected result
- A synthetic draft cannot leave the test boundary without a named, logged approval decision.
- Failure mode
- A generated draft is treated as consent to send or a timeout becomes automatic delivery.
- Rollback
- Hold the route, revoke pending delivery authority, and ask the designated owner to resolve the decision.
Orient
Generation is not permission. The human gate belongs immediately before the irreversible external action.
Perform
Define the approval record: decision ID, approver identity, scope, destination, expiry, decision, and reason. Make expiry resolve to hold, never send.
Lab
For a synthetic support request, classify the request, draft a response, send the draft to a named approver, record approval or rejection, then allow or block delivery. Keep the original test message out of the escalation summary unless necessary.
Check
Your escalation handoff names the uncertain decision, accountable owner, deadline, and safe interim state. It does not contain a copied customer conversation or credentials.
