Resume Approvals Button Not Visible

What This Skill Diagnoses

The Resume Approvals button can be absent for two distinct, unrelated reasons:

Sequential approval blocking the breakpoint (most common — WAI): A manual pause breakpoint only reaches PENDING state after all sequentially ordered approvals before it complete. If an upstream approval is still PENDING or NOT_STARTED, the breakpoint itself will be NOT_STARTED, and the Resume button will not render. This is correct behavior, not a bug.
FE/BE inconsistency in who sees the button: The Manage Approvals sidesheet shows the Resume button to any user who receives the approvals list containing a PENDING breakpoint (no BU check in FE). The contract page task card is shown only to the Business User. This inconsistency can cause confusing support reports where some Admins see the button and others don't.
