`accountant.work.request`

Accountants with comment access: ask a verified company administrator to classify or reconcile explicitly selected recordKeys from your saved previewId/fingerprint. Preserves the static cohort and exact source/report context; creates one assigned company task and schedules email. The original approval covers the request and automatic completion notices back to the accountant after actual canonical work. Queued is not delivered; opening, replying or marking Done cannot clear failing record checks. Requires assigneeUserId, reason and idempotencyKey.
