## General Information

The non-traversable GH\_ApprovesDeploymentTo edge represents that a user or team is configured as a required reviewer for a GitHub Environment.

This edge is emitted from [GH\_User](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_user) or [GH\_Team](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_team) nodes to [GH\_Environment](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_environment) nodes when the environment includes a required reviewer protection rule. Required reviewers act as an approval gate before jobs referencing the environment can continue.

The edge is non-traversable because it records reviewer configuration rather than direct deployment access. When self-review is allowed, the same reviewer may also receive a traversable [GH\_CanDeployToEnvironment](/opengraph/extensions/github/edges/gh_candeploytoenvironment) edge only if they can also supply deployable code through [GH\_CanCreateBranch](/opengraph/extensions/github/edges/gh_cancreatebranch) or [GH\_CanWriteBranch](/opengraph/extensions/github/edges/gh_canwritebranch) under the environment's branch policy. When prevent\_self\_review is enabled, GH\_ApprovesDeploymentTo remains context only because the split-principal approval flow is not currently modeled.
