Get a standing approval

Reads one StandingApproval by id: its scope, bound subject/connection tuple, connection_version, expires_at, minted_by, originating action_approval_id, and status. Argument values are never exposed — an exact_arguments artifact carries only the arguments_hash it silences. Use the returned resource to decide whether to revoke it.

Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: capability-gateway. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
