## Compile Hints

escalate_and_wait creates a durable pause point. The step AFTER escalate_and_wait is always a signal step (kind: "signal") that receives the human response. Fields from the signal step output (e.g., password) must be wired via data_flow edges to ALL downstream steps that need them.

## Tools
