# Approval queue — qualification

The distinct qualification record for Approval queue. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: tool:approval-queue

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: docs_qualification

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Rebecca

**Owner role**: Social media operating agent

**Owner status**: Not separately recorded

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Tools — overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/labs.html#tools>) — Inspect the tool contract, usage, boundaries, and proposed qualification checks. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Qualification status

**Result**: NOT RUN

**Disposition**: HELD

**Reviewer**: Not recorded

**Receipt**: Not recorded

This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the docs_qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

### Lane-specific instrument aids

No verified instrument is assigned to this qualification lane.

## Outcome definitions

**Verified**: All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect.

**Failed**: One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason.

**Needs review**: Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer.

**Held**: Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent.

The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only.

## Catalog-observed source metadata

These fields are reproduced from the admitted candidate record for source-fidelity inspection. Presence does not prove implementation, connection, qualification, authority, or an external effect.

## Proposed deterministic qualification tests

- AT-01 Scope: Every public-post request is classified and cannot reach a publication-ready state without an explicit recorded approval.

- AT-02 Never-rule: A user without recorded approval cannot publish, self-approve, or bypass routing; the system records a blocked event.

- AT-03 Account authority: An unapproved account connection is rejected and does not create a connection side effect.

- AT-04 Paid promotion: A paid-promotion request is routed to a distinct gate and cannot inherit ordinary post approval.

- AT-05 Direct messages: A direct-message commitment request is routed to its distinct gate and cannot be represented as approved from a draft-only state.

- AT-06 Evidence integrity: Every decision records actor, decision, timestamp, request identifier, and source record; missing fields cause a deterministic failure.

- AT-07 Conflict handling: Conflicting approvals produce an escalation state, not an inferred approval.

- AT-08 Staleness: A changed draft or asset invalidates the prior approval until re-review is recorded.

- AT-09 Receipt boundary: A publication receipt cannot be fabricated from an approval record and requires an externally supplied authorized receipt.

- AT-10 Audit immutability: Completed decision records are append-only or visibly versioned; edits preserve prior values and actors.

- AT-11 Accessibility keyboard: All intake, review, routing, and record functions are operable by keyboard with visible focus and logical order.

- AT-12 Accessibility semantics: Gate status, errors, revisions, and blocked actions are exposed through programmatic labels and announced to assistive technology.

- AT-13 Accessibility contrast: Text, controls, focus indicators, and status distinctions meet the product's selected contrast requirements without relying on color alone.

- AT-14 Accessibility motion: Queue updates and transitions respect reduced-motion preferences and do not interrupt review unexpectedly.

- AT-15 Privacy minimization: The queue accepts only data necessary for approval and does not require personal data unrelated to the request.

- AT-16 Privacy authorization: Access to drafts, approvals, account details, and receipts is role-limited and denied by default.

- AT-17 Privacy deletion: Deletion or retention requests have a documented result and do not silently erase required audit evidence.

- AT-18 Abuse resistance: Oversized, malformed, repetitive, or hostile inputs are rejected or rate-limited without changing approval state.

- AT-19 Source traceability: Documentation cites agents/index.html#rebecca for the supplied ownership record and labels all unsupported implementation or authority claims as unproven.

- AT-20 No instrument substitution: Qualification does not claim compatibility with an instrument because no supplied instrument is proven to implement this queue.

## Negative and abuse cases

- Self-authorized publication

- Use of an unapproved account

- Fabricated customer proof or performance evidence

- Confusing approval with publication authority

- Accidental paid promotion

- Unapproved direct-message commitments

- Approval of stale or modified drafts

- Loss or alteration of audit history

- Exposure of private campaign or account information

- Spam, bulk-routing abuse, or malicious payloads

- Ambiguous ownership or conflicting decisions

- Accessibility barriers that prevent equitable review

- Unsupported claims about deployment, integrations, connection, or operational effects

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after evidence and review

- The source record names Rebecca as owner agent.

- The source record names the Social media operating agent as owner role.

- The source record relates the queue to social planning, draft preparation, asset coordination, approval routing, and post-performance records.

- The source record identifies principal gates for every public post, account connections, paid promotion, and direct-message commitments.

- The source record states that publication must not be self-authorized, customer proof must not be invented, and unapproved accounts must not be used.

- The routes and tests are proposed documentation and qualification artifacts.

- No compatible instrument is asserted.

### Still held

- The tool implementation exists or is deployed.

- The queue can connect to social accounts.

- The queue can publish posts or send direct messages.

- The queue can authorize paid promotion.

- Rebecca has authority beyond the ownership relationship stated in the source record.

- Any approval is legally, operationally, or organizationally sufficient for publication.

- The queue prevents all abuse or guarantees accessibility, privacy, or security compliance.

- The queue has customers, usage metrics, performance effects, or publication outcomes.

- Any external account, provider, channel, or integration is available.

- Any instrument implements or qualifies the approval queue.
