Slack Deploy Approval Audit Trail

platform slack deployment audit compliance

When a tech lead reacts with :rocket: to approve a production deploy, the bot needs to create a visible audit trail.

Requirements

1. Bot replies in deploy thread: “Production deploy approved by @{user}” with timestamp
2. Include link to CodePipeline execution
3. Log approval in audit.deploy_approvals table (who, when, which pipeline, which ticket)
4. Unauthorized users (non-tech-leads) get a DM saying they can’t approve
5. Bot reply within 5 seconds of :rocket: reaction

Rationale

Sarah (CTO) requested audit trail for compliance reasons. Currently the reaction triggers approval but there’s no confirmation or record.
