# Alpha Approve

`POST /v1/me/accounts/{account_id}/alphas/{deploy_id}/approve`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.quantradin.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.quantradin.com/v1/me/accounts/{account_id}/alphas/{deploy_id}/approve`
- Auth: none declared

Approve a STAGED deployment (control 3): arm it live.

SESSION-OWNER ONLY, mirroring the admin-cloak discipline — the human gate.
An account key PAIR (the agent credential) can PROPOSE a deploy
(requires_approval) but can NEVER approve its own: approval requires the
owner's logged-in session cookie, never a key. On approval the deployment
flips staged → running and only THEN starts the forward-walk + grading
(nothing traded while staged). 404 if not the caller's desk / not found;
409 if the deployment is not awaiting approval.

## Path parameters

- `account_id` integer, required
- `deploy_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
