Objective: Conduct an analysis regarding the integration of the upstream approver-policy project into the Cert Manager Operator.

Context: We have received multiple customer requests indicating that the default "auto-approval" mechanism in the Cert Manager Operator poses security risks. These customers require a way to enforce stricter validation policies on CertificateRequests.

We need to evaluate how to expose approver-policy configuration via the Operator.

Scope of Analysis:

1. Customer Impact: Review linked RFEs (RFE-5621, RFE-6181) and SFDC cases to consolidate specific customer use cases.

1. Technical Feasibility: Investigate mechanisms to disable the default auto-approval behavior in the Operator to prevent race conditions when a policy engine is active.

1. Implementation Strategy: Propose a high-level design for exposing this via the CertManager CRD / or new CRD. 

Deliverable: An RFE Analysis document outlining the problem statement, affected customers, and a proposed technical solution.
