When support AI becomes infrastructure, write the exit kit first

A support agent reads a renewal flag, cites a refund policy, and decides whether to resolve or escalate in one customer thread. Once an AI does that, switching vendors stops being a UI migration. Write the exit kit before it becomes one.
