+## Design Patterns Used
+
+### 1. **Wrapper Pattern**
+
+`withApproval()` wraps any tool with approval logic.
+
+### 2. **Chain of Responsibility**
+
+`MiddlewareChain` chains multiple middlewares.
+
+### 3. **Factory Pattern**
+
+Factory functions for creating queues and handlers.
+
+### 4. **Strategy Pattern**
+
+Different approval backends (in-memory, Redis).
+
+### 5. **Observer Pattern**
+
+Notification callbacks for approval decisions.
+
+### 6. **Builder Pattern**
+
+`ApprovalTestBuilder` for fluent test construction.
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### How to Integrate
+
+1. **Import Types**
+
+```typescript
+import type { Tool, ApprovalRule, ApprovalHandler } from "./approval";
+```
+
+2. **Define Approval Rules**
+
+```typescript
+const rules: ApprovalRule[] = [{...}];
+```
+
+3. **Implement Handler**
+
+```typescript
+const handler: ApprovalHandler = {
+  requestApproval: async (request) => {...},
+  notifyApproval: async (request, result) => {...}
+};
+```
+
+4. **Wrap Tools**
+
+```typescript
+const protectedTool = withApproval(tool, {
+  rules,
+  handler,
+  enableLogging: true
+});
+```
+
+5. **Execute**
+
+```typescript
+const result = await protectedTool.execute(args);
+```
+
+## Testing Support
+
+### Mock Utilities
+
+- `MockApprovalHandler` - Fake approval handler
+- `MockTool` - Fake tool for testing
+- `testFixtures` - Common test data
+- `ApprovalTestBuilder` - Fluent builder
+
+### Assertion Helpers
+
+- `assertApprovalRequested()` - Verify approval request
+- `assertToolCalled()` - Verify tool execution
+- `assertNotificationSent()` - Verify notification
+- `assertApprovalCount()` - Verify count
+
+### Example Test
+
+```typescript
+const builder = createTestBuilder("deleteUser").withRule(testFixtures.rules.delete).approveAll();
+
+const { handler, tool } = builder.build();
+assertions.assertApprovalCount(handler, 0);
+```
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### In-Memory Queue
+
+- Enqueue: O(1)
+- Dequeue: O(n log n) - sorting
+- Lookup: O(1)
+- Memory: O(n) - linear with requests
+
+### Redis Queue
+
+- Enqueue: Network + O(1)
+- Dequeue: Network + O(n log n)
+- Lookup: Network + O(1)
+- Memory: Redis instance
+
+### Middleware Chain
+
+- Per-middleware overhead: Minimal
+- Total chain overhead: Sum of middlewares
+- Suitable for < 1000 req/sec per process
+
+## Extensibility
+
+### Custom Middleware
+
+```typescript
+const customMiddleware: MiddlewareFunction = async (context, next) => {
+  // Pre-processing
+  const result = await next();
+  // Post-processing
+  return result;
+};
+
+chain.use(customMiddleware);
+```
+
+### Custom Backend
+
+```typescript
+const backend: ApprovalBackend = {
+  store: async (request) => {...},
+  get: async (id) => {...},
+  // ... other methods
+};
+```
+
+### Custom Handler
+
+```typescript
+const handler: ApprovalHandler = {
+  requestApproval: async (request) => {
+    // Custom approval logic (email, Slack, etc.)
+  },
+  notifyApproval: async (request, result) => {
+    // Custom notification
+  }
+};
+```
