Gremlin's Foresight AI agents wait for an engineer before every test and fix

Gremlin has made Foresight AI generally available, an add-on whose agents plan chaos tests, run them, propose fixes and rerun the original test. Every test and every fix still needs an engineer's sign-off, so human review moves to an approval queue.
