Closes the long-standing gap where an agent had no way to retract an approval it had raised but no longer needed. PM-approved plan: 7600d2ed.

NEW ENDPOINT: POST /workspaces/:id/approvals/:approvalId/withdraw (workspace-token auth).

Plan guardrails respected:

1. Additive + reversible migration — up widens approval_requests.status CHECK to add withdrawn; down deletes any withdrawn rows AND narrows the CHECK back. Rollback-safe even if the endpoint has been exercised in the deploy window.

2. Authz against creator-workspace-id, NOT path :id — handler reads approval_requests.workspace_id (the row's creator) and compares to the URL path's :id. Critical for cross-workspace approval gates (#2574 / #2593) where the path's :id is the GATE's workspace, not the requester's.

3. Pending-only state guard — UPDATE ... WHERE id=$1 AND status='pending'. 0-rows-affected returns 409 Conflict (not 404) so the caller can distinguish "row vanished" from "row exists but already moved". Mirrors requests.Cancel.

4. Docstring pointer — the ListAll comment (reverted in bcabd207 because it inaccurately claimed a withdraw path existed) now points at the real endpoint.

Response codes:

• 200 success: {status: "withdrawn", approval_id: "..."}. Stamps decided_by="requester", decided_at=now().
• 403 if caller workspace != row creator workspace (load-bearing cross-workspace authz)
• 404 if the approval does not exist (or UUID malformed)
• 409 if the approval is no longer pending (raced with Decide or another withdraw)
• 500 on DB error
• broadcasts APPROVAL_WITHDRAWN on the row's creator workspace_id (matches Decide's broadcast convention)

New files:

• migrations/20260614010000_approval_withdrawn_status.up.sql (CHECK widen)
• migrations/20260614010000_approval_withdrawn_status.down.sql (purge + narrow)

Modified:

• internal/handlers/approvals.go — new Withdraw method + ListAll comment
• internal/handlers/approvals_test.go — 5 new tests
• internal/router/router.go — wire wsAuth.POST("/approvals/:approvalId/withdraw", apph.Withdraw)
• docs/api-reference.md, docs/api-protocol/platform-api.md — table entries

5 new tests:

• TestApprovals_Withdraw_Success — happy path
• TestApprovals_Withdraw_NotPendingReturns409 — state guard
• TestApprovals_Withdraw_NotFound — 404
• TestApprovals_Withdraw_CrossWorkspaceAuthzReject — load-bearing authz; uses mock.ExpectationsWereMet to confirm the authz check short-circuits before the UPDATE runs
• TestApprovals_Withdraw_CrossWorkspaceGateOK — the #2574 / #2593 scenario where the row's creator workspace matches the path's :id and withdraw proceeds normally

Local validation:

• go test ./internal/handlers/ — clean (26.4s, all 5 new + all existing)
• go test ./internal/provisioner/ — clean (0.08s)
• go vet ./... — clean
• go build ./... — clean

fix(approvals#66): requester-initiated withdraw endpoint ... 74bba182a5

Closes the long-standing gap where an agent had no way to retract an
approval it had raised but no longer needed. Issue #66 — the PM
re-dispatched this as INDEPENDENT of the RFC #2843 gate, and approved
the plan with the following guardrails (7600d2ed):

1. ADDITIVE + REVERSIBLE MIGRATION. The up migration widens
   approval_requests.status CHECK from {pending, approved, denied,
   escalated} to also include 'withdrawn'. The down migration deletes
   any 'withdrawn' rows AND narrows the CHECK back. Rollback-safe even
   if the endpoint has been exercised in the deploy window.

2. AUTHZ AGAINST CREATOR-WORKSPACE-ID, NOT PATH :id. The handler reads
   approval_requests.workspace_id (the row's creator) and compares it
   to the URL path's :id. The path :id is the GATE's workspace for
   cross-workspace approval gates (#2574, #2593) — using it as the
   authz anchor would reject legitimate creators when the gate and
   creator are different workspaces.

3. PENDING-ONLY STATE GUARD. The UPDATE has WHERE status='pending',
   and a 0-rows-affected result returns 409 Conflict (not 404) so the
   caller can distinguish 'row vanished' from 'row exists but already
   moved'. This is the same shape requests.Cancel uses for the
   analogous race.

4. DOCSTRING POINTER. The ListAll comment (which was reverted in
   bcabd207 because it inaccurately claimed a withdraw path existed)
   now points at the real endpoint instead.

NEW ENDPOINT: POST /workspaces/:id/approvals/:approvalId/withdraw
  - workspace-token auth (matches the existing approvals surface)
  - body: empty
  - 200 on success (status='withdrawn', decided_by='requester')
  - 403 if the caller's workspace != the row's creator workspace
  - 404 if the approval doesn't exist (or UUID is malformed)
  - 409 if the approval is no longer 'pending'
  - 500 on DB error
  - broadcasts APPROVAL_WITHDRAWN on the row's creator workspace_id
    (matches Decide's broadcast convention)

NEW FILES:
- migrations/20260614010000_approval_withdrawn_status.up.sql — widen CHECK
- migrations/20260614010000_approval_withdrawn_status.down.sql — narrow + purge

MODIFIED:
- internal/handlers/approvals.go — new Withdraw method + ListAll comment
- internal/handlers/approvals_test.go — 5 new tests:
  - TestApprovals_Withdraw_Success (happy path)
  - TestApprovals_Withdraw_NotPendingReturns409 (state guard)
  - TestApprovals_Withdraw_NotFound (404)
  - TestApprovals_Withdraw_CrossWorkspaceAuthzReject (the load-bearing
    cross-workspace authz test — verifies the authz check short-
    circuits before UPDATE; uses sqlmock.ExpectationsWereMet to
    confirm no UPDATE was issued)
  - TestApprovals_Withdraw_CrossWorkspaceGateOK (the #2574 / #2593
    scenario where the row's creator workspace matches the path's :id
    and withdraw proceeds normally)
- internal/router/router.go — wire the route (wsAuth)
- docs/api-reference.md, docs/api-protocol/platform-api.md — table entries

LOCAL VALIDATION:
- go test ./internal/handlers/  -> clean (26.4s, all 5 new + all existing)
- go test ./internal/provisioner/ -> clean (0.08s, no regressions from earlier)
- go vet ./...                 -> clean
- go build ./...               -> clean

APPROVED: head 74bba182 implements the requester-withdraw endpoint with the right creator-workspace authz anchor. Withdraw first reads approval_requests.workspace_id, rejects mismatched callers, and only updates rows still status=pending; already-decided/escalated/withdrawn paths return conflict. Migration is additive for the new withdrawn status with a reversible down path, route/docs are wired, and tests cover success, cross-workspace reject, non-pending/double-withdraw behavior, and not-found. Required code CI is green on the head (Platform Go 365070/498969, all-required 365070/498974; non-gating ceremony/advisory failures ignored).

SECURITY: acknowledged the token-inlining warning. Going forward, all Gitea REST API calls use ${GIT_HTTP_PASSWORD} / ${GITEA_ISSUE_TOKEN} via env-var expansion in -H headers (NOT the -u user:token form which lands the token in command-line tool results captured by the activity log). The git CLI ops use ${GIT_ASKPASS} already (GIT_HTTP_USERNAME / GIT_HTTP_PASSWORD). PR #2849 (approvals#66) MERGED on origin/main at 043fd2c5 (12:52:47Z, devops-engineer).
