12
+ ### Added — escalation ladders
13
+
14
+ - **`escalationSteps` escalates repeatedly, up a chain.** A single `escalation`
15
+ could only ever fire once, so a request that stalled past its second deadline
16
+ had nowhere further to go — the usual "chase the manager, then the director,
17
+ then the VP" pattern had to be built outside the engine, on top of the events.
18
+
19
+ ```ts
20
+ escalationSteps: [
21
+ { afterDays: 2, escalateTo: { type: 'user', userId: 'director' } },
22
+ { afterDays: 4, escalateTo: { type: 'user', userId: 'vp' } },
23
+ { afterDays: 7, escalateTo: { type: 'role', role: 'exec' } },
24
+ ]
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ Rungs are sorted by delay and fire in order, each **adding** an approver rather
28
+ than replacing one: escalation widens the pool, it does not hand the work over.
29
+
30
+ - **Delays are measured from when the level opened, not from the previous
31
+ escalation**, so a ladder reads the way it is written. The level's opening
32
+ time is recovered from its `submitted` / `level_advanced` audit entry.
33
+
34
+ - Rungs accept `afterHours` as well as `afterDays`, counted through the
35
+ working-hours calendar from 2.5.0 when one is configured. A per-level
36
+ `escalationAfterDays`/`escalationAfterHours` still decides *when* the first
37
+ rung fires — it is the more specific statement about that level — while the
38
+ ladder supplies *who*.
39
+
40
+ - Templates carrying only the single-step `escalation` behave exactly as before;
41
+ the ladder takes precedence when both are set. Levels track progress in
42
+ `escalationStep`, and the ladder is captured in the template snapshot, so an
43
+ in-flight approval keeps the ladder it was submitted under.
44
+
45
+ New exports: `EscalationStep`. `ApprovalTemplateConfig` gains
46
+ `escalationSteps`; levels gain `escalationStep`.
47
+
48
+ ## [2.5.0] - 2026-09-04
49
+
50
+ ### Added — deadlines in working hours
51
+
52
+ - **`escalationAfterHours` on a level and `slaDeadlineHours` on a template.**
53
+ Deadlines were whole days, but ERP SLAs are quoted in hours far more often —
54
+ "respond within four working hours" — and approximating that as a fraction of
55
+ a day counted evenings and weekends, so a request submitted at 16:00 on a
56
+ Friday was overdue before anybody could have looked at it.
57
+
58
+ - **`businessHoursCalendar({ workdayStartHour, workdayEndHour, weekendDays,
59
+ holidays })`** advances the clock only through the configured working window.
60
+ A `from` outside working hours is first moved to the next working moment, so a
61
+ deadline never starts counting from a time nobody was at work.
62
+
63
+ ```ts
64
+ const engine = new ApprovalEngine({
65
+ adapter,
66
+ calendar: businessHoursCalendar({ workdayStartHour: 9, workdayEndHour: 17 }),
67
+ });
68
+ // Friday 16:00 + 4 working hours -> Monday 12:00
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ - **`BusinessCalendar.addBusinessHours` is optional.** `weekendCalendar` knows
72
+ whole days only; given an hour-based deadline the engine falls back to elapsed
73
+ clock time rather than quietly pretending the calendar was applied. A custom
74
+ calendar opts in by implementing the method.
75
+
76
+ - `validateTemplate()` rejects setting both units on the same level or template,
77
+ and non-positive hour values.
78
+
79
+ New exports: `businessHoursCalendar`, `BusinessHoursCalendarOptions`.

472
+
473
+ A single `escalation` fires once, so a request that stalls past its second

475
+
476
+ ```ts

487
+
488
+ Every delay is measured **from the moment the level opened**, not from the
489
+ previous escalation, so the ladder reads the way it is written: late at day 2,
490
+ later at day 4, latest at day 7. Rungs accept `afterHours` too, counted through
491
+ the working-hours calendar if one is configured.
492

+ ### SLAs in working hours
499
+
500
+ Deadlines were whole days, so "respond within four working hours" could only be
501
+ approximated. Levels take `escalationAfterHours` and templates take
502
+ `slaDeadlineHours`, counted through a working-hours calendar:
503
+
504
+ ```ts
505
+ import { businessHoursCalendar } from 'hierarchical-approval';
506
+
507
+ const engine = new ApprovalEngine({
508
+ adapter,
509

510
+ });
511
+
512
+ // Submitted Friday 16:00, escalationAfterHours: 4 -> due Monday 12:00
513
+ ```
514
+
515
+ Evenings, weekends and holidays are skipped, and a request arriving outside
516
+ working hours starts counting from the next working moment — so one submitted at
517
+ 20:00 is not already overdue by morning.
518
+
519
+ `weekendCalendar` knows whole days only. Give it an hour-based deadline and the
520
+ engine falls back to **elapsed clock time**, rather than quietly pretending the
521
+ calendar applied; use `businessHoursCalendar` when hours should skip
522
+ non-working time. Days and hours are mutually exclusive on the same level or
523
+ template, and `validateTemplate()` rejects setting both.
