What does approval-gated AI communication mean?

It means an AI system cannot send a message to a person until a named human reviews and signs off on it. The approval is a required step in the send path, not a policy.

What evidence should an approval gate produce?

The approver's identity, the exact content sent, the recipient, and the timestamp, stored together as a single evidence chain that a reviewer can inspect for any message.

How does an approval gate map to COSO and SR 11-7?

Under COSO the gate is a control activity, the retained record is information and communication, and sampling released messages is monitoring. Under SR 11-7 the relevant point is that arithmetic runs as deterministic code, so model drift cannot change an approved figure.
