 ### Approval request and resume
 
 - A tool that requires approval does not execute before an approved response.
+- With an `AgentSession`, every surfaced local approval request is stored as an immutable snapshot. An inbound
+  response is honored only when its request id matches that pending server-held snapshot.
+- Approval requests replayed in inbound message history do not create, replace, or resurrect approval authority.
+- The executable call id, tool name, arguments, and local tool metadata are sourced from the recorded request, never
+  from the response payload.
+- A matched approval response consumes its pending entry once. Unmatched, duplicate, and replayed responses do not
+  reach local execution.
+- Only the strict boolean `True` grants approval. Missing decisions and non-boolean values are rejection, not consent.
+- Direct chat-client invocation without an `AgentSession` preserves pass-through compatibility, matching .NET;
+  authorization sinks still require strict `True`.
 - An approved tool executes exactly once.
 - A rejected tool executes zero times and produces one synthetic rejection `function_result` using the original
   function `call_id`.

 ### Approval request and resume
 
 - A tool that requires approval does not execute before an approved response.
-- With an `AgentSession`, every surfaced local approval request is stored as an immutable snapshot. An inbound
-  response is honored only when its request id matches that pending server-held snapshot.
+- With an `AgentSession`, every surfaced local or hosted approval request is stored as an immutable snapshot in one
+  active model batch. A new surfaced batch replaces an abandoned batch instead of accumulating session state.
+- Approval request IDs use the provider function `call_id`, whose conversation-level uniqueness is required for
+  function-call/result correlation. Duplicate request IDs within one batch are rejected as malformed.
+- An inbound response is honored only when its request id matches the pending server-held snapshot.
 - Approval requests replayed in inbound message history do not create, replace, or resurrect approval authority.
-- The executable call id, tool name, arguments, and local tool metadata are sourced from the recorded request, never
-  from the response payload.
+- The executable call id, tool name, arguments, and local or hosted tool metadata are sourced from the recorded
+  request, never from the response payload.
 - A matched approval response consumes its pending entry once. Unmatched, duplicate, and replayed responses do not
   reach local execution.
+- Tool lookup uses the recorded name against the current registry. A same-name implementation upgrade is allowed;
+  removing the name prevents local execution.
 - Only the strict boolean `True` grants approval. Missing decisions and non-boolean values are rejection, not consent.
 - Direct chat-client invocation without an `AgentSession` preserves pass-through compatibility, matching .NET;
   authorization sinks still require strict `True`.
