Approval gates convert the operator's response time into the system's throughput limit

Severitylow

SymptomBots sit blocked waiting for approvals; delegation quality degrades to the speed of the human.

CauseEvery consequential action is gated on a human, and approvals cannot be batched or delegated.

DetectionGrowing approval queue with idle Bots behind it.

FixSeparate read-only operations from destructive ones so only the latter need gating, and track approval count as an explicit operating metric. Accept the trade: the alternative to approval latency is the production-deletion failure mode above.
