Best practices for the Velt Approval Engine — the declarative workflow runtime for multi-step agent + human approval processes. Use whenever the user is building approval workflows, multi-step review processes, agent-then-human approval chains, parallel reviewer quorums, SLA-aware approval steps, rejection-loop retry regions, or any workflow that combines AI agents with human gatekeeping. Triggers on any task involving the Velt Approval Engine, /v2/workflow/ REST endpoints, workflow definitions (nodes/edges/groups/loops), executions dispatch with idempotencyKey, recording reviewer decisions or agent resolutions, workflow webhooks (execution.dispatched/completed/failed/cancelled, step.awaiting-approval/completed/failed/breached/cancelled, group.quorum-met, loop.iteration-started, loop.exhausted), HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature verification, SLA-routed breach edges, quorum policies (waitAll/cancelOnQuorum/joinOnQuorum), onReject shorthand, loop regions, or recovering missed webhook events via /executions/getEvents with sinceSeq — even if the user does not explicitly say 'Approval Engine'.

## From README

Velt Approval Engine Best Practices Implementation guide for the Velt Approval Engine — a declarative workflow runtime for multi-step agent + human approval processes. Covers the workflow model (definitions = nodes + edges + groups), the 14 REST endpoints under /v2/workflow/ (definitions, executions, steps), webhook delivery with HMAC signature verification, and idempotency/recovery patterns.
