Help wanted: validate a SharePoint Requests & Approvals SPFx sample

I have opened a new SharePoint Framework sample for a small, list-backed Requests & Approvals inbox:

Pull request: https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts/pull/6475

The sample targets common SMB/SME approval scenarios without introducing a workflow engine or additional service dependencies. It uses React 17, Fluent UI v9, PnPjs v4, and SPFx 1.23.2.

What the sample does

• Loads pending requests assigned to the signed-in user.
• Reads requests from a configurable SharePoint list.
• Shows request details in an accessible interface.
• Supports approve and reject actions.
• Requires a non-whitespace comment when rejecting.
• Refreshes the queue after a completed decision.
• Includes loading, empty, retry, error, keyboard, and status-announcement states.

The README documents the exact list schema, permissions, field mapping, status values, concurrency limitation, and non-goals.

Help needed

Could someone with access to a SharePoint Online tenant please try the sample and report back on:

1. Creating a small list using the documented schema.
2. Assigning pending requests to the signed-in user.
3. Loading, empty, details, approve, and reject behavior.
4. Rejection-comment validation.
5. Keyboard operation and narrow-viewport rendering.
6. Any setup or permission issues.
7. One or two representative screenshots for the README.

Dummy data is fine. Please remove or blur tenant names, site URLs, user names, request details, and all other sensitive information before sharing screenshots.

The code builds and tests locally, but I do not currently have a tenant available for end-to-end validation. Tenant feedback and screenshots would materially help complete the pull request.

Thank you to anyone who can spare the time to test it.
