Our security team is currently auditing our OpenClaw workflows, and we've noticed that some runbooks might be missing a human approval gate. We want to ensure that automated actions do not bypass critical human checks. What key elements should we review in these runbooks to identify and mitigate risks related to missing human approval steps? Any best practices or checklist items would be greatly appreciated!

In addition to reviewing the runbook steps, you should audit recent run executions to see if any automated runs proceeded without human oversight. Adding audit logs and alerts for missing approvals can help catch these issues early.
Make sure to look for any automated deployment or remediation steps that trigger without a manual approval checkpoint. Check if the runbook has conditional pauses or notifications requiring a human to confirm before proceeding.
