A draft is released only after a partner approves

Drafting is assistive; releasing a document is a consequential act. The release step waits for a partner, and the person who started the work cannot approve it.

The outcome

The draft waits in the review queue. The associate's own approval is refused; the reviewing partner's approval releases it with a content hash, and the sign-off is chained into the ledger.

Controls shown

R-ESC-01Any export or release escalates to a named reviewer role (a partner).
Maker-checkerThe person who ran the request can neither decide the escalation nor sign the result off.
Single-use approvalAn approval is bound to the step it was given for and is spent when that step runs.

Next scenario: An invented authority stops the release →
