# Approve an AI extraction review (ingest the candidates)

`POST /v1/imports/contexts/{contextId}/extraction-reviews/{reviewId}/approve`

Approves a PENDING_REVIEW review and runs the SINGLE deterministic handoff into the normal ingestion pipeline (dedup + outbox + match-trigger), linking the resulting job to the review. This is the ONLY path from an AI candidate to a reconciled transaction, and it runs only on explicit human approval. The approving principal is the reviewer (audit attribution). Tenant from the JWT, context from the path.
