human-approval

An approval workflow gates code execution by blocking changes until explicit human consent is granted. It coordinates PR drafting, Slack notifications, and Jira status tracking to maintain an auditable trail of approvals and rejections.

Yes, the workflow integrates GitHub, Slack, and Jira to manage approval gating. It drafts PRs with proposed changes, notifies stakeholders via Slack, and requires Jira tickets to reach an approved state before execution proceeds with an auditable trail.

To maintain an audit trail, the workflow records every approval and rejection across GitHub, Slack, and Jira. This provides visibility into the approval state and ensures compliance and accountability for code changes requiring stakeholder consent.

Yes, the workflow blocks execution until approval is granted by tracking status across platforms. It prevents code changes from proceeding until stakeholders transition the Jira ticket to an approved state and provide explicit consent.

To set up stakeholder notifications, configure the workflow to draft a PR with the proposed changes and send notifications via Slack. Stakeholders can then review the changes and transition the linked Jira ticket to approved to unblock execution.

You should use a formal human approval step when code changes require stakeholder consent. It reduces the risk of unintended changes and deployments by ensuring executions do not proceed without explicit human approval.
