Adding compose action breaks https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/sequential-modern-approvals

After adding a compose action to scrape a file attachment and included it in the approver notification (which now works thanks to @DJ_Jamba), it broke the next Apply to each action. I've tried every "Select an output from previous step". All fail. Any ideas?

I found the error in your other post

So firstly, the Start and wait for approval action should not be in the Apply to Each Request action. Maybe you tried another solution that put that action in a loop?
Drag the Start and wait for approval action out of the Apply to Each Request action, delete the Apply to Each Request action and then test that part.

No you're not.
Because if you scroll down and look at the screenshot of the flow, you will see that the Start and wait for approval action is not inside an Apply to each action.

But yours is:

You're right....as usual.....someone in all the button pushing and clicking a rogue Apply for Each made its way in there. I deleted everything past the first approval action, rebuilt it, and now it's working:
