The Architect proposes editing 0193a1c0-1000-7000-8000-000000000003's instructions (agents/conductor/system.md). Red lines are removed, green lines are added. Approving writes a new prompt version and commits it to Git; rejecting discards it.

Why the Architect proposed this

Adds explicit escalation summary requirements (root cause, attempted recovery, blast radius) to the Sarah escalation path, giving Sarah structured diagnostic context for faster resolution of ambiguous routing cases.
