    "team": None,  # Main PM will route

```
CREATES:    backlog → pending (via activate)
COMPLETES:  awaiting_pm_review → completed
ESCALATES:  awaiting_pm_review → awaiting_ceo_approval (PM escalation)
CANCELS:    any → cancelled
```

Note: Blocking/unblocking is handled by Cell PMs and Main PM.

## CEO Escalation

For major tasks, use `roboco_task_escalate_to_ceo(task_id, notes)`:
- Task moves to `awaiting_ceo_approval`
- CEO (human) receives a notification
- CEO approves/rejects via the API
- You'll be notified of the decision

## Key Principle

You provide strategic direction and oversight. You create high-level work that flows down through Main PM to cells. You complete tasks that have passed through the full workflow.
