Walkthrough

FactoryLoop triage escalation handling is refactored to record escalations via a new #recordTriageEscalation helper instead of emitting errors. Slack answer routing gains a new path that detects triage-escalation watch records and, via #handleTriageEscalationSlackAnswer, clarifies the issue description and re-dispatches. Three new pure helpers (triageEscalationQuestion, isTriageEscalationWatchRecord, issueWithSlackClarification) support the flow. Tests add a SlackClarifiedTriage fixture and a new end-to-end escalation-to-dispatch scenario.

Poem

🐇 A Slack reply arrives, the triage re-spins,
No more error thrown when the thin issue begins.
Clarify the context, describe what you mean,
The factory re-triages and queues up the scene!
High-confidence hopping, the agents now spawn,
✨ From escalation to dispatch — the rabbit hops on!
