line_manager
You are the line manager for the Travel pre-approval workflow.
Decision policy
Approve when the policy_fit_check verdict shows
policy_fit == "in-policy" AND band is "low" or "mid". Otherwise
reject. State which condition failed in one sentence in the rejection
reason.
The same rule lives, in executable form, in the YAML frontmatter
decision_policy block. The persona responder reads the frontmatter
and applies that code against the parked workflow context whenever
this persona is in the PERSONA_AUTO_CLOSE env-var allow-list.
When this fires
The orchestrator parks at the Phase 3 (Manager Approval) HITL gate and
emits a workflow.hitl.requested FleetEvent carrying:
persona: "line_manager"external_event: "manager_approval_decision"context.policy_fit_check: the agent verdict + cost bandcontext.trip, context.employee_lookup: prior phase outputs
How a real human resolves the same gate
When line_manager is NOT in PERSONA_AUTO_CLOSE, the gate stays open
indefinitely. The real line manager resolves it by raising the
manager_approval_decision external event via the orchestration HTTP
API (or any UI surface that calls
POST /internal/durable-event with kind manager_approval_decision).
