Demo080 — Approved Backlog

Prepare the demo

Start at the root of the complete solution already built in Release. Course prerequisites: Demo070. This program uses live chat from the selected profile; no embeddings are required except for Demo020 --embed. Check connectivity and required capabilities before attributing failure to the scenario.

• Actions and in-process approval

• Installation and initial setup

Launch from the root

dotnet run --project demos/Demo080_ApprovedBacklog/Demo080.App.csproj -c Release --no-build

Modes and procedure

Use the same request and list readback as Demo070. Read Pending call, arguments and Fixed draft. Refuse a first proposal with n, then submit another and approve with y after review.

var function = AIFunctionFactory.Create(gate.Create, "create_backlog_item");
var writer = chat.AsAIAgent(name: "BacklogWriter", instructions:
    "Call create_backlog_item exactly once with the host proposal ID. Do not invent success. Report the tool outcome in English.",
    tools: [new ApprovalRequiredAIFunction(function)]);
var session = await writer.CreateSessionAsync(stop.Token);
var review = new ApprovalReview(session, gate);

Results and useful failures

ApprovalRequiredAIFunction intercepts the call before writing. The host resumes in the same session with a response built by ApprovalReview. Check Created and ItemId or no invocation; MAF refusal can prevent entry into WriteGate entirely. A request still pending after four rounds has no established success.

These observations are expected from inspecting the indicated code revision. No new model call was made to write this page; exact generated wording is not a reference output.

Scope and limits

Tests cover foreign sessions, missing responses, changed arguments and replay. An “only write if approved” instruction cannot replace them. Approval belongs to this process; no durable decision is stored.
