# <ApprovalGate>

> Conditional approval; pauses for human when `when` is true, else auto-approves.

```ts theme={null}
import { ApprovalGate } from "smithers-orchestrator";

type ApprovalGateProps = {
  id: string;
  output: OutputTarget; // z.ZodObject<z.ZodRawShape> | { $inferSelect: Record<string, unknown> } | string
  request: { title: string; summary?: string; metadata?: Record<string, unknown> };
  when: boolean; // true => require human; false => auto-approve immediately
  onDeny?: "fail" | "continue" | "skip"; // if omitted, denial fails the task
  skipIf?: boolean;
  timeoutMs?: number;
  heartbeatTimeoutMs?: number;
  heartbeatTimeout?: number;
  retries?: number;
  retryPolicy?: { backoff?: "fixed" | "linear" | "exponential"; initialDelayMs?: number };
  continueOnFail?: boolean;
};
```

```tsx theme={null}
const risk = ctx.output(outputs.riskScore, { nodeId: "risk" });

<Workflow name="deploy-pipeline">
  <Sequence>
    <Task id="risk" output={outputs.riskScore} agent={riskAgent}>
      Assess deploy risk.
    </Task>
    <ApprovalGate
      id="deploy-approval"
      output={outputs.deployDecision}
      when={risk.level === "high"}
      request={{
        title: "Approve high-risk deploy?",
        summary: `Risk score: ${risk.score}/100`,
      }}
      onDeny="fail"
    />
    <Task id="deploy" output={outputs.deploy}>
      {{ deployed: true }}
    </Task>
  </Sequence>
</Workflow>
```

## Notes

* Auto-approve emits a valid `ApprovalDecision` (`{ approved: true, note: "auto-approved", ... }`); downstream branching stays uniform.
* `onDeny` applies only to the human path; auto-approve always succeeds.

The `<ApprovalGate>` implementation and the files it imports, straight from the package source. This section is generated; edit the source, not this block.
