[FEATURE] Human-in-the-Loop Decision Oversight #443

@KaifAhmad1

Description

@KaifAhmad1

Problem

Automated decision logging exists, but enterprise workflows need human review, annotations, overrides, and rollback.

Goal

Add human oversight primitives without breaking existing automated decision flows.

In Scope

  • Decision and edge annotations.
  • Review state transitions (approve, reject, needs_revision).
  • Decision override and rollback with audit trail.
  • Query support for review status.

Out of Scope

  • End-user review dashboard UI.
  • HR/task assignment workflows.

Proposed New Files

  • semantica/context/review_workflow.py
  • tests/context/test_decision_review_workflow.py
  • docs/reference/human-oversight.md

Implementation Milestones

  1. Data milestone: add review and annotation model objects.
  2. Workflow milestone: review state transitions.
  3. Control milestone: override and rollback APIs.
  4. Query milestone: filter decisions by review metadata.

Contribution Tracks

  • Easy: annotation APIs.
  • Medium: review state machine.
  • Advanced: rollback guarantees and provenance linkage.

Test Plan

  • Unit tests for review state transitions.
  • Integration tests for override + rollback.
  • Audit-trail tests for action lineage integrity.

Docs to Update

  • docs/reference/context.md
  • docs/reference/change_management.md
  • cookbook example for human review loop.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Decisions support review metadata and annotations.
  • Overrides and rollbacks are auditable and reversible.
  • Query APIs can retrieve review-state filtered decisions.
  • Tests cover full review lifecycle.
