Human-in-the-Loop Is a Defined Decision Role

A human-in-the-loop pattern assigns a person a specific decision, evidence view, permitted responses (such as approve, revise, hold or refuse) and response window in which those responses can still change the outcome. It should state which output or version is covered and whether a refusal or hold is actually enforced. Release authority, informed judgment and independence are separate: a poorly informed or conflicted person can still hold a real veto. Merely adding a confirmation button does not guarantee effective oversight.
