Approvals: asking, deciding, and the queue — Ask anyone to approve anything

Open a record and use its Posting panel to ask someone for an approval: pick a person, add a note saying why, and optionally a due window. The picker offers every member of the record's workspace, whatever their role — a read-only manager signing things off is a perfectly real arrangement. An ask can also carry a field write: choose a Select field and the values to write on approve and on reject, and the decision moves the record's own status the moment it lands. This works on any table, with no posting rules configured — and if you work alone, you can be your own approver. Asking needs only view access to the record. Asking is the point — you are requesting a change, not making one. A stage only opens once the one before it closes, so nobody is asked to approve something that may still change underneath them.
