Because escalation means forwarding. The support agent sends it to engineering, the ticket is closed or parked, and the customer hears nothing until they ask again.
Engineering, meanwhile, receives a paraphrase without the diagnostic detail, and half of what they need is in a thread the agent did not forward.
A ticket becomes a task in Loop while remaining a ticket. The two are joined, so the task carries the diagnosis and the customer, and the ticket shows the task's status without anyone copying it across.
When the task ships, the ticket knows. The agent replies to a customer who has been waiting eleven days with a specific answer rather than an apology.
Support can answer "when" without asking anyone. The release the fix is in is visible from the ticket.
Engineering sees how many customers are waiting on a given defect, which is the only prioritisation input that consistently matters and is usually the hardest to get.
It will not prioritise the work. Linking five tickets to a task makes the demand visible; deciding what to build next remains a decision with a person's name on it.
It also does not give support write access to the plan. The join is a link, not a route into somebody else's backlog.
Nothing here is an integration. Each line is two products reading the same record from different sides.

Fourteen days, every module, no card. Or half an hour with someone who will run it on your own records and tell you where it does not help.
