How to Separate Deployment Approval From Deployment Execution

When the same unchecked process can approve and apply a production change, review controls may not catch risky plans.

Checks to make

Require an approval tied to the exact artifact and plan, restrict apply credentials to the deployment stage, and record reviewer identity and result. Revalidate the approved plan before execution so changes cannot slip in after review.
