 * Create a standalone escalation (not tied to a workflow).
 *
 * Useful for manual work items, support tickets, or approval requests
 * that originate outside the durable workflow engine. The caller must
 * hold the target role or be a superadmin.
 *
 * @param input.type — escalation category (e.g. `"support"`, `"approval"`)
 * @param input.subtype — subcategory for finer routing
 * @param input.role — role responsible for resolving this escalation
 * @param input.description — human-readable summary
 * @param input.priority — 1 (critical) through 4 (low), default 2
 * @param input.envelope — serialized context for the resolver
 * @param input.metadata — arbitrary key-value data (e.g. signal_routing)
 * @param input.escalation_payload — serialized payload for the resolver UI
 * @param auth — authenticated user context (must hold target role or be superadmin)
 * @returns `{ status: 201, data: <escalation record> }`
