Member-Level Approval (Case 2)
===============================

Approval tool lives on the member agent. The team has no approval tools.

Flow:
  1. User says "deploy services"
  2. Team delegates to Deployment Spec Collector member
  3. Member calls collect_deployment_specs -> member pauses -> team pauses
  4. User fills in the form fields (service, environment, version)
  5. Admin approves in Approvals page
  6. User clicks Continue Run -> member tool executes -> member returns result -> team responds
