+/**
+ * EscalateInterceptDialog — popover anchored above the Escalate button.
+ *
+ * Fires when the engineer clicks Escalate while a fix is in Verifying or
+ * Partial state. Captures the fix outcome before the escalation so the
+ * handoff narrative is honest for whoever picks up the ticket.
+ *
+ * Visual reference: docs/FlowAssist_Migration/mockups/07-verify-states.html
+ * (panel C).
