Provide an answer to the current step in a compliance workflow. Use this when someone provides information requested by the workflow, such as 'our system processes health data' or 'we use AES-256 encryption'. The workflow engine validates the response and advances to the next step. Pass user_acknowledged=true only after the user has supplied the fields listed in user_provided_fields. evidence_references accepts document UUIDs, doc:// segment URIs, or regulatory URLs. For an unattended gate, pass approved_by='auto' and leave user_acknowledged=false so the report does not misrepresent automation as human review. approved_by accepts only 'auto'; human review is asserted via user_acknowledged, never by naming an approver.
