Preserve prior customer context, assign an owner or escalation path when repeat contact is detected, and block resolutions that ask the customer to repeat already-provided information.

Why this is a pattern, not a one-off

Increasing — this failure recurred across 3 traces and is accelerating. Treat it as a workflow/prompt/policy fix, not 3 separate tickets.

Repeat contact, frustration, and escalation pressure rise even though the ticket looks resolved.
