Approvals: asking, deciding, and the queue — Decisions are ordinary edits downstream

When a decision writes a Select value, it is written through the normal save path — so views regroup, boards move the card, reports recount, and automations and webhooks fire exactly as if a person had edited the field. Approval is a way of asking for a change, not a parallel universe of state. And it is honest about failure: if the decision was recorded but the field write could not be applied, the ask says so rather than letting the workflow look further along than it is.
