docs(ai): handoff state after bell-icon fix; record draft PR #155

Updates the handoff trio after the legacy notification flow fix and
the branch push. PR #155 is open against main as draft. Resume point
is now visual QA via /qa, then deferred follow-ups (chat-input
suggested-step chips, snapshot expansion). Logs the open question
about whether EscalateModal should switch to /handoff.

 **Task:** Build **Escalation Mode** — the wedge for ResolutionFlow's GTM (first paying-customer push). When a junior tech escalates a FlowPilot session, the senior tech sees structured handoff context in seconds instead of running a 5-minute verbal "tell me what you tried" call.
 
-**Status:** in-flight on `feat/escalation-metric-endpoint`. Backend is **feature-complete and test-stabilized**. **Frontend live-arrival SSE subscription is shipped** (`EscalationQueue.tsx` subscribes via fetch-based ReadableStream, prepends new arrivals with the locked 200ms slide-in, flashes tab title when backgrounded, respects `prefers-reduced-motion`, exponential-backoff reconnect). **Magic-moment handoff-context screen is shipped** (`HandoffContextScreen.tsx` + integration in `FlowPilotSessionPage.tsx` — renders on Pick Up before claim, claims on "Start here", re-openable from toolbar, gracefully handles null AI assessment). **Next:** push + draft PR, then optional analytics page + Playwright e2e + chat-input suggested-step chips.

-**Test status:** focused subset (`test_escalation_bus`, `test_handoff_manager`, `test_session_handoffs_api`, `test_flowpilot_analytics_escalations`) → `32 passed in 18.91s` with `-n auto`. Frontend `tsc -b` clean. End-to-end smoke test against the running dev stack confirmed: SSE handshake delivers `ready` frame on connect and `handoff_created` after a posted handoff; `listHandoffs` returns the unclaimed handoff for a senior pre-claim; `claimHandoff` flips session status from `escalated` → `active` and `escalated_to_id` is set so subsequent GET succeeds. Branch not pushed.

 ## Remaining work on this branch
 
-1. **Push + draft PR** — branch is unpushed. Open against `main`.
+1. **Visual QA in a real browser** via `/qa` — slide-in animation, tab-title flash, magic-moment layout, dissolve, full junior-escalates → senior-receives → senior-claims demo path.
 2. **Suggested-step chips below the chat input** (Codex correction, design plan locks this) — surfaces `ai_assessment_data.suggested_steps[]` as clickable chips in `FlowPilotMessageBar` that prefill the input. Threading through `FlowPilotSession` → message bar.
 3. **Snapshot expansion in `HandoffManager._generate_snapshot`** — include the recent diagnostic steps / conversation tail so the magic-moment screen's "What's been tried" section can render the actual timeline pre-claim instead of "full timeline available after pickup".
 4. **Toolbar Context button on legacy-arrival sessions** — currently the button only appears when the senior arrived via the magic-moment flow this session. Lazy-fetching the handoff list on session-load (when status was-escalated) would make it work on revisits.
