Let Humans write approval guidance as separate Always ask, Always allow and supplemental sections, create templates from an explicit source, and choose when saving also applies the template to a Bot.
Special things to note
Merge risk: one-way for newly saved structured content on rollback; large blast radius across shared templates and future Reviewer requests. Existing Markdown stays readable, but older versions display the V1 envelope as raw text; preserve or export original content before rolling back. Review the bounded codec, Human management checks, shared-template editing and saved Review snapshots.
These are natural-language Reviewer instructions; deterministic card rules remain separate. Save alone does not select a template, copies are independent, and edits affect future Reviews.
Explicit Blank or selected source
→ independent draft
→ Always ask[] / Always allow[] / supplemental text
→ Save only | Save and apply to this Bot
→ existing bounded template owner
→ Reviewer receives ask → allow → supplemental with saved content/version
The editor reuses the Bot settings grouped card list: only the outer corners are rounded, row seams are straight, and each input keeps a visible keyboard focus outline. CLI create/edit supports explicit blank/copy/parts input and the same optional application path.
These paired English captures use the same legacy data, 1281×900 viewport and DPR 1.14; the unchanged base captures are explicitly reused. Current Chinese filled-row evidence shows the requested grouping:
Validation: root/mobile types and focused behavior/token tests passed; fresh Spec review had no findings and the Standards focus finding was repaired. Frozen-head build/served Client hashes, real CLI/Web blank/copy/save/apply/readback, actual Tab focus, middle-row edit/remove/add isolation, and a real Reviewer Session reaching ask-human passed. Existing Review content/version remains isolated from later edits.
Protocol V2 uses CLI show for complete text and identical corpus hashes, trusted clicks, CSS visibility and exact values; Chrome 153.0.8010.36, fresh isolated headless profiles, English/light, 1281×900/DPR 1.14. Earlier preview timeout and V1 fixture-validator failures are retained separately. This is DOM readiness, with no presented-FPS, native or speedup claim. CI remains pending.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Approval templates can now be created from scratch or copied from an existing template, then edited with separate “Always ask,” “Always allow,” and free-text guidance.
Save changes without applying them, apply a saved template to a Bot, or do both. Editing a shared template shows which Bots use it; changes affect future Reviews, while in-progress Reviews keep their captured template.
The CLI now supports creating blank templates, editing structured guidance, and optionally applying a template to a Bot.
Documentation
Updated English and Chinese guides with template editing, copying, selection, and compatibility details.
Resolve remote history scopes, restored Assignment request delivery,
and case-insensitive HTTP methods at the public effect boundary.

Expose the inherited global template in the existing mobile selection list and retain globalDefault at the Host client boundary. Keep legacy Hosts without that field on their supported choices; invalid inherited answers remain failed reads.
Add a Bot save/readback regression proving successful writes are not replayed and the UI remains unknown rather than falsely Off after failed refresh.

Reuse the External identities/connectors SidebarCardList and SidebarCardRow pattern for independent Always ask/Always allow inputs and remove actions. Keep only outer list corners and use the final row to add guidance.
Refs #4244
Agent claim: #4244 (comment)
The change adds three-part approval guidance to templates and updates the client editor and CLI to create, edit, copy, and apply templates. Reviewer prompts use formatted guidance from the captured template content. Documentation and tests cover compatibility, application choices, and review-version behavior.
Changes: Approval template guidance

Summary
Guidance format and Reviewer consumption packages/core/src/workspaces/approval-template-guidance.ts, packages/core/src/workspaces/approval-templates.ts, packages/core/src/workspaces/approval-reviewer.ts, packages/core/test/*, docs/adr/*, docs/architecture/*, .agents/skills/verify-deepseekbot/features/approval-templates.md
Templates encode alwaysAsk, alwaysAllow, and freeText as version-marked JSON. Unmarked Markdown remains free text; invalid marked content is rejected. Reviewer prompts format the captured guidance, and tests cover content compatibility and edits during pending Reviews.
CLI template authoring and application packages/core/src/bots/cli-approval-templates.ts, packages/core/test/approval-template-library.test.ts, docs/bot-cli*
The CLI supports blank templates, JSON parts files, and optional Bot application after create or edit. Tests cover source validation and application behavior.
The editor offers blank or source-template creation, structured guidance editing, and separate save-only or save-and-apply choices. Tests cover copying, source selection, and editing guidance rows.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 43cfc
Three-part template editing, explicit apply and Reviewer guidance look sound overall. One edge case remains: after a failed apply, a retry can give a Bot different guidance than the editor displays. The other findings are a template-repair gap after an external edit corrupts the file, a test assertion that is too weak, and outdated docs. Fix the retry baseline before merging if possible; the rest can be follow-ups.

Explanation
The title names the main change: author-created three-part approval guidance (Always ask, Always allow, free text) and explicit apply of templates to a Bot. The changeset covers the editor, CLI, guidance codec, reviewer prompt, and docs for exactly these features, so the title matches the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections: Why the change, Special things to note (merge risk, verification, CI test plan), and Change outline with the issue link and visual evidence. It names the issue (Closes #4244) and the stacked dependency, and gives merge-risk, rollback, and verification details. Gaps: the CI test plan is not stated (the mode chosen by the plan tests job, and whether scripts/ci-plan.mjs was updated for the new test or config). The description also says CI remains pending, and the mobile system-text acceptance matrix is not addressed beyond noting Android/iOS are pending. Those items are needed for a complete description, but the description is mostly complete.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes in #4261 map to #4244 objectives. Core changes: cli-approval-templates.ts (--blank, --parts-file, --apply-to); approval-template-guidance.ts (encode, decode, and Reviewer text); approval-templates.ts (exported readApprovalTemplateFile, which supports bounded reads); approval-reviewer.ts (guidance-aware prompt). Client changes: approval-template-library.tsx and locale.ts. Tests cover the same behavior. Documentation changes cover the ADR-0342 file format, the bot approval policy (EN and ZH), bot-cli docs (EN and ZH), the skill feature doc, and the changelog. The ADR and architecture docs are named in the issue. No change was found that lacks a connection to the issue.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Stack scope: #4244 is blocked by #4211. #4211 is reviewed as part of #4250, and #4250 supplies the global selection, ask-human outcome, bounded reads, and version capture. Current PR #4261 adds the coding work for #4244.
Objective 1 [#4244 blank, copy, and three-part editing; CLI and Client]: Addressed for the web Client and CLI. Evidence: cli-approval-templates.ts adds --blank, --parts-file, and --apply-to, and requires one create source. approval-template-library.tsx decodes and encodes Always ask, Always allow, and free text, and it adds a source chooser. Tests cover blank-source requirements, save-only copy defaults, and row edits. Copies are independent per bridge tests. Refs: #4261, #4250.
Objective 2 [#4244 save only versus save and apply; shared-original disclosure]: Addressed. Evidence: the editor offers Save only or Save and apply. Bridge tests state that saving a copy does not change Bot or global selections. The usage banner lists the Bots that use a shared original. The bridge usedBy list includes global inheritors (#4250). Refs: #4261, #4250.
Objective 3 [#4244 Reviewer uses ask, then allow, then supplemental text; ask takes priority; uncertainty goes to Human]: Addressed by automated evidence. Evidence: approvalTemplateReviewerText and the reviewer prompt order ask, allow, then supplemental Markdown. A reviewer test checks this order. ApprovalReviewOutcome no longer includes reject (#4250). Conflicts and gaps return ask-human. Refs: #4261, #4250.
Objective 4 [#4244 fixed version and management authorization; old content preserved; Chinese and English examples]: Addressed. Evidence: the captured template version is in the prompt and in the review log (#4261 and #4250). Legacy Markdown maps intact to free text and has tests. Chinese and English bot-cli docs and changelog entries exist. Refs: #4261, #4250.
Objective 5 [#4244 real request from saved content to Reviewer judgment; separate budgets]: Uncertain from code. The automated tests use fixtures and injected lookups. The real Reviewer Session run and the DOM-ready timing table are reported in the PR description but are not code. They cannot be confirmed from the supplied summaries.
Objective 6 [#4244 Client scope including mobile]: Uncertain. The issue names CLI and Client. The PR states that Android and iOS checks and the mobile editing path remain pending. The supplied evidence has no mobile template editor in #4261. The issue does not clearly state whether mobile is in the required Client scope.
Resolution
Confirm whether #4244 requires the mobile Android and iOS template editor. If it does, provide reviewed evidence for that editor. Provide the automated or recorded evidence for the real Reviewer request path and the separate existing-journey and added-editing budgets, with a commit reference that matches the reviewed head.

Advance the saved baseline before applying the template.
If the update succeeds but application fails, editor.template.text still contains the old text. If the user restores that old text and retries, Line 440 skips the update. The Bot then receives the previously saved content, not the content shown in the editor.
Retain the template returned by updateApprovalTemplate as the saved baseline before application. The create path already does this.

Check that Always ask text exists before comparing positions.
If the prompt omits Never send without asking, indexOf returns -1. The comparison still passes when Read local files is present. The other assertions can also pass.
Assert that the ask text exists before checking its position. This prevents the test from accepting a prompt that drops Always ask guidance.

Closes #4244
The editor reuses the Bot settings grouped card list: only the outer corners are rounded, row seams are straight, and each input keeps a visible keyboard focus outline. CLI create/edit supports explicit blank/copy/parts input and the same optional application path.
These paired English captures use the same legacy data, 1281×900 viewport and DPR 1.14; the unchanged base captures are explicitly reused. Current Chinese filled-row evidence shows the requested grouping:
