# Approval Flow (Lumen Halo): prompt.md (v1.0.0)

- id: `lumen-approval-flow` · version 1.0.0 · component · pro (All-Access)
- category: AI interfaces
- build: Base UI (one set of files; its dependencies follow the build)
- install (this build): `npx shadcn@latest add @beautiful-ui-pro/lumen-approval-flow`
- npm dependencies: none
- registry dependencies: utils, @beautiful-ui/lumen-avatar, @beautiful-ui/lumen-badge, @beautiful-ui/lumen-button, @beautiful-ui/lumen-textarea, @beautiful-ui-pro/lumen-activity-timeline, @beautiful-ui-pro/lumen-recommendation, https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/lumen-foundation.json
- docs: https://beautiful-ui.dev/components/lumen-approval-flow
- The install command carries everything this item needs (files, CSS, tokens, npm and registry dependencies). Prefer it to copying source by hand.

A second person signs off before an action runs: the requested action in full, who asked and who reviews, the context, and approve, request changes or reject, each with a note in the audit trail. Only the named reviewer decides, nobody approves their own request, and the action runs once approved.

## Build it
- Stack: React 19 (`ref` is a plain prop), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4 utilities, a shadcn-initialised project with the `@/*` alias.
- Packages: none beyond React.
- Files: `components/ui/lumen/controls/approval-flow.tsx`; shared code: `lib/beautiful-ui/core/insights.ts`, `lib/beautiful-ui/core/timeline.ts`.
- Registry dependencies, installed with it automatically: shadcn `utils` (cn), `lumen-avatar`, `lumen-badge`, `lumen-button`, `lumen-textarea`, `lumen-activity-timeline`, `lumen-recommendation`, `lumen-foundation`.
- Builds: one set of files for both, but its dependencies come in Base UI and Radix builds. Install the one that matches the project (see Install): a free item's bare URL installs the Base UI build of it and its dependencies.
- Exports to keep: `ApprovalFlow`, and every exported type.
- CSS: the install merges this item's rules (the registry `css` field) into your global stylesheet, in `@layer components`, and adds the lumen foundation (tokens, keyframes, motion levels) once. Nothing to import by hand.
- Re-running `add` (or `--overwrite`) re-applies those rules: put overrides in your own CSS, never in the installed rules.
- Tokens: retheme with the `--lumen-*` custom properties (`--lumen-accent`, `--lumen-accent-text`, `--lumen-bad`, `--lumen-bad-text`, `--lumen-focus`, `--lumen-good`, `--lumen-good-text`, `--lumen-hairline`, `--lumen-ink`, `--lumen-muted-ink`, `--lumen-series-1`, `--lumen-series-2`, `--lumen-series-3`, `--lumen-series-4`, `--lumen-series-5`, `--lumen-series-6`, `--lumen-warn`, `--lumen-warn-text`); this item's CSS also reads `--lumen-font-mono`, `--lumen-font-sans`, `--lumen-radius-k`. Never add Tailwind colour classes inside the component.

```tsx
import { ApprovalFlow } from "@/components/ui/lumen/controls/approval-flow";
```

## Parts

| Part | data-slot | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| `ApprovalFlow` | — | The request, the decision and the audit trail. |

## Sound
- Keep every `data-slot` and `data-sound` attribute: the sound layer reads them.
- Installing this item adds no audio. Nothing plays until the app mounts `GlassSoundProvider` once (install: `npx shadcn@latest add https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/glass-sound.json`, import from `@/components/beautiful-ui/glass-sound`); `GlassSoundToggle` is its mute control. Without a provider the audio engine never loads.

## Match the original
- Read `components/ui/lumen/controls/approval-flow.tsx` as the reference implementation before changing or recreating anything, and match it: sizes, colours per theme, motion timings, copy and behaviour.
- If you deviate (a prop you can't honour, a style you changed, a dependency you swapped), say so in your reply, part by part.
- Keep the accessibility contract, the keyboard map and the motion levels listed below.

## Use it when
- approval flow, review request, sign off, four eyes, request changes, audit trail, Lumen
- Actions that need a second person: bulk changes, money, customer messages
- Showing who decided what, when and why

### Not when
- Single-person confirmations: use Recommendation or Alert Dialog

## Mistakes
- Store the flow on your server so requester and reviewer see the same state
- Check permissions on the server too: the UI hides buttons, it does not secure them

## Usage

```tsx
import { ApprovalFlow } from "@/components/ui/lumen/controls/approval-flow";

<ApprovalFlow recommendation={rec} actor={me} flow={flow} onFlowChange={save} onExecute={run} />
```

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `recommendation` | `Recommendation` |  | The action under review (its preview is shown in full). |
| `flow / onFlowChange` | `FlowState` |  | The same state as Recommendation's (useInsightFlow), shared between requester and reviewer. |
| `actor` | `Actor` |  | Who is looking: the named reviewer gets the decision buttons. |
| `onExecute` | `(action) => void \| Promise` |  | Run the action once approved. |
| `timeZone / locale / now` | `…` |  | How audit times read, and the audit clock. |

## Customising
- Colours: set the `--lumen-*` tokens on `:root`, or on a container with the `lumen-scope` class to retheme one area. Add the `lumen-inherit` class to follow your shadcn palette instead (`--chart-N`, `--destructive`).
- Dark mode follows the `.dark` class on an ancestor (the shadcn and next-themes convention).
- Update later by re-running the install with `--overwrite` (review the diff if you edited it). Changelog: https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/changelog.json

## Keyboard

| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Tab / Enter | Move between decisions and choose one |

## Motion inventory

| Interaction | What moves |
|---|---|
| Waiting | The status dot pulses while a review is pending |

## Accessibility contract (preserve when editing)
- Status is a written badge; the audit trail is the Activity Timeline (a list per day)
- Request changes and Reject stay disabled until there is a note

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @beautiful-ui-pro/lumen-approval-flow
```

Pro item: needs the `@beautiful-ui-pro` registry in `components.json` and `BEAUTIFUL_UI_TOKEN` in `.env.local` (https://beautiful-ui.dev/account). Setup: https://beautiful-ui.dev/docs/pro. Your components.json `style` picks the build: radix-*, new-york and default get Radix, base-* gets Base UI.

## Credits
- Built on shadcn/ui (https://ui.shadcn.com)

The lumen foundation (the tokens listed above, keyframes and motion levels) installs once with the first component; its CSS is public at https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/lumen-foundation.json.
