Dispatch
Escalation
Re-routing a dispatch when an agent is outside its domain.
When work lands with the wrong agent, the agent escalates rather than guessing.
The flow
- An agent returns an
[ESCALATION]signal naming the recommended agent and the rationale. - LISA re-routes to that agent.
- If the second agent also escalates, LISA handles the work directly rather than bouncing it further.
Before signalling, the agent writes an escalation cache entry with its reasoning and recommended target — an audit trail that exists before completion is signalled.
Governed domains
Escalation targets map to domain owners: security to gray-fox, code to genji or raiden, planning to yoshimitsu, vault and FCF to smoke, creative to zer0, legal to cyrax, data to sektor. An agent escalates when a task requires domain governance it does not carry. See the roster.
