Error message

no pending approval found for request_id '{request_id}' (already decided or expired)

What it means

Input-validation guard in approval_preauthorize_flow: the flow_id argument is an empty string, so pre-authorization rows could not be attributed to any flow. The RPC rejects the call before touching the approval gate or database; the faulting input is an empty flow_id from the caller (dashboard/flows UI).

Solutions

1. Pass the actual persisted flow id of the flow being saved/enabled.
2. Ensure the flow is saved and has an id before requesting pre-authorization.
3. Fix callers that default flow_id to an empty string.
