I don't see a request in this conversation yet to attach an approver to. Could you share the request you mean?

Also, one thing to reconcile first: you've said Dana Ruiz is your manager but also that you report directly to Priya Nadella with nobody in between. Those can't both be true. Which is it — is Priya your direct manager, or is Dana your manager (making Priya your skip-level)? That affects who the correct approver is.

The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
