# T-394: Codify Post-Fix Root Cause Escalation practice in CLAUDE.md

## Context

G-019 identified that the agent lacks self-escalation from symptom-level fixes to systemic root cause analysis. The practice text was drafted in the previous session but blocked by budget gate.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] Post-Fix Root Cause Escalation section added to CLAUDE.md after Bug-Fix Learning Checkpoint
- [x] Section includes 5-step escalation process, trigger, and evidence

## Verification

grep -q "Post-Fix Root Cause Escalation" CLAUDE.md
grep -q "Why did the framework allow this" CLAUDE.md
grep -q "G-019" CLAUDE.md
