approval_not_pending
The request is no longer awaiting review, or it is assigned to another reviewer (reassign it first). status says where it is.
Problem shape
Every non-2xx response is an RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. The type URI below is stable and machine-matchable, so branch on the final path segment (the code) and treat the status as redundant confirmation. See the error-handling guide.
