 ## [Unreleased]

 ### Added
 - Live chat transfer (escalated-laravel `ChatController::transfer`): `POST /escalated/api/agent/chat/{sessionId}/transfer`, behind the agent check like the rest of the agent chat API, and, for the shared `Agent/TicketShow` transfer menu, `POST /escalated/agent/chat/{session}/transfer` from the agent's browser session (CSRF-checked, like End Chat), registered as `escalated.admin.chat.transfer` (Laravel's name). The body is `{agent_id, department_id}` (either or both); the shared `ChatActionBar`'s `{type: "agent"|"department", id}` is accepted too. With an agent, the session and ticket are reassigned to them. With only a department, the ticket moves there and the chat goes back to the queue (unassigned, waiting), then chat routing runs again for the new department. A missing or non-integer target, an unknown department, an ended chat, or an agent who is not active staff or cannot be assigned the ticket is a 422; an unknown session is a 404. New `ChatSessionService.transfer(...)`.
 - `chat.transferred` is sent to outbound webhooks, runs workflows and is now in `EventNames.EMITTED`, so the webhook form and workflow builder offer it. The webhook data adds `from_agent_id`, `to_agent_id` and `to_department_id` to the chat fields (no widget token). `ChatEvent` has a `TRANSFERRED` type and `getTransfer()`.
