What “Approval gate” means
An approval gate is a deliberate pause. Work arrives at it complete enough to judge and goes no further until someone with the authority accepts it. For replies it is the main control, and for anything on the never-unattended list it is the only acceptable arrangement. A gate works when one person clearly holds it and a backup is named for days off.
Link AI by Linkme has a gate in two places, on Linkme's description. Replies are drafted and wait for approval. A draft that a team member creates can carry a 'Needs review' mark before it is posted or launched, and that includes an ad bound for Meta. How roles and permissions are divided is a question for a demo. The never-unattended list shows where a gate is essential.
