Diagram of a GitHub Actions workflow change moving through GitHub classification to a pre-execution hold. A write-access collaborator can deny it without starting a runner or approve it, after which the job receives only its configured token permissions and exposed secrets. — Nowpinion's reconstruction of GitHub's documented hold. The automatic pause comes before runner execution; approval does not change the token permissions or secrets configured for the job.Original diagram: Nowpinion
