Approval record
An approval record is the stored decision: who decided, when, whether they were a member or a door, and whether the outcome was approve, reject or request changes. It is what you still have when the people have left the thread.
The engine opens the record when an item enters an approval stage. Exit through the approved transition is refused until that record exists. A later decision can be added; the earlier one stays in the append-only log.
Reminders point at the portal and do not re-send a credential. A door handed over with no email and no phone falls back to the studio, because only the studio can reach that client.
