/**
 * Escalation directory path resolution for Iranti.
 *
 * Escalations are conflict cases where the Librarian cannot confidently
 * resolve a knowledge conflict and writes a file for human review.
 * The root directory defaults to ~/.iranti/escalation but can be overridden
 * via IRANTI_ESCALATION_DIR. Subdirectories follow a three-state lifecycle:
 *   active/    — pending human review
 *   resolved/  — resolution provided
 *   archived/  — closed/historical
 *
 * Key exports:
 *   - getEscalationPaths()      — compute path object without touching disk
 *   - ensureEscalationFolders() — mkdir all subdirs and return the path object
