Summary
Fixes review submissions landing as PENDING drafts and merges proceeding without a visible APPROVED verdict.
Root cause
Gitea's review API expects event
APPROVED, notAPPROVE. The wrong event string fell through to Gitea's default and created PENDING draft reviews.Changes

Closes #244
LGTM! The changes in the PR are clean and successfully address issue #244 by handling PENDING reviews and requiring visible APPROVED reviews. Note for the author: please update test_pr_queue_inventory.py's mock setup as it was missed and causes a test failure on the PR branch.
