CURRENT REVIEW PROCESS: {{CURRENT_REVIEW}}
Map every step by consequence, reversibility, detectability, and time sensitivity. Put approval before the smallest set of actions that are external, destructive, costly, private, reputation-sensitive, or difficult to undo. Do not require approval for safe read-only checks or routine reversible preparation.
For each gate specify: reviewer, exact payload shown, evidence and uncertainty shown, choices available, expiry, edit path, rejection behavior, retry behavior, and receipt created. Include what happens when nobody responds. Finish with a minimal approval envelope and three failure tests: stale approval, changed payload, and partial execution.
