+- **A job's approval step (interop C3.3).** A job reads the mandate its start call carried at its own approval step:
+  `ctx.approval_step(job_id, key, request, effect=, spend_usd=, project=, message=)` on the start call's context (a
+  server with `agent_id`) answers the record when the mandate covers the step `{capability: the job's, action: key,
+  effect}` and asks nothing, the job going on as the operator's decision; otherwise the job waits `input_required` on
+  `request`, its message naming the part not covered (`outside-mandate: <part>`) or saying the mandate expired, and the
+  step is kept in the job's private part (`request_input(..., steps=)`). An answer's `_meta.mandate` that covers that
+  step is then read when `input_actions=True`, beside a decision for the key. The rule alone is `job_step(mandate, ...)`
+  / `jobStep({mandate, tier, now, self, capability, key, effect, callerAgent, spendUsd, project})`; Node's
+  `requestInput(jobId, inputRequests, statusMessage, {steps})` keeps the same private part. Each `request_input`
+  replaces the kept steps, and an answer clears them: pass `steps=` again on every question whose answer a mandate may
+  cover. The answer's mandate is read under the job's own capability, as at the start (`action_gate(...,
+  mandate_capability=)` / `actionGate({mandateCapability})`), so the start and the answer agree whatever the tool is
+  named; a mandate can name only capability names, so one that names capabilities never covers a tool named otherwise.
+  Node has no tool server: a Node service reads `store.load(jobId).private.steps` and `.private.capability` BEFORE
+  `store.answer` (which clears the steps), gates the answer with `actionGate({..., mandateCapability:
+  private.capability})`, then answers. Without a string capability the answer is read under `fabric.job.get`.
 
 **As a caller.** The agent leading a task states the mandate from the operator's own words with
 `operator_mandate(task, instruction, scope, lead, at=, expires_at=)` / `operatorMandate({task, instruction, scope,
 lead, at, expiresAt})` (a day unless told, at most seven), hands it to the agent it calls with
