# LocalApprovalProvider

> Requests go to the StateStore; `wait()` polls it (SPEC-v0.1 §4.3).

`ctrlrun.LocalApprovalProvider` — class, defined at `src/ctrlrun/approval.py:369`

```python theme={null}
class LocalApprovalProvider()
    def __init__(store: ApprovalStore, clock: Callable[[], datetime], poll_interval: timedelta)
```

Requests go to the StateStore; `wait()` polls it (SPEC-v0.1 §4.3).

The human answers out of band — `ctrlrun approve <id>` or `ctrlrun deny <id>` in another
shell. Waiting is bounded by the request's own expiry, so a request nobody answers ends
in `ApprovalTimeout` rather than a blocked agent.
