WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why escalate_request needs a policy

Escalating a request modifies its priority/status and routes it to higher-level staff, which is a reversible state change (Write). It does not delete data, execute code, or move money. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt ticket workflows and unnecessarily burden senior staff, but the action is reversible.
