Approval context

In one sentenceApproval context is the information shown with prepared work so the operator can decide quickly: what changed, the source material, the proposed draft or update, who is affected, what will happen after approval, and what information is still missing.

Landscape operators should not have to open five tools just to decide whether a draft is safe. The approval context should carry the relevant job, customer, site, supplier, schedule, or proposal information into one review moment.

Good approval context is especially important for weather moves, quote follow-ups, proposal packages, supplier substitutions, concept briefs, and crew handoffs.

When context is missing, Lode should say so instead of filling the gap with a guess.
