"""Run orchestration: start a run, pause at the human gate, resume on decision.
The graph is invoked twice per brief:
1. ``ainvoke(initial_state)`` runs supervisor → workers → writer → verify → gate,
where :func:`langgraph.types.interrupt` suspends it and checkpoints state.
2. ``ainvoke(Command(resume=decision))`` continues from that checkpoint through
delivery.
Between the two the process could restart entirely — that is the point of the
checkpointer, and why approval is a separate authenticated HTTP request rather
than a callback held in memory.
