Description
Description
Context
When a WP that blocks other work packages has its timeline changed, the affected teams need to know so they can adjust their own schedules.
Task
Add a sendCascadeTimelineChangeNotification helper and call it when a WP timeline changes through:
reviewActivationChangeRequest
reviewStageGateChangeRequest
reviewStandardChangeRequest
Use the blocking-WP helper to find affected work packages, then send a Slack message to their team channel pinging the heads/leads with the old → new timeline and a link to the relevant WP.
Acceptance Criteria
- Cascade notifications are sent for activation, stage-gate, and standard CR timeline changes.
- Notifications are only sent when the WP timeline actually changes.
- Affected WP heads/leads are pinged in their team Slack channel.

Research direction
Locate the sendCascadeTimelineChangeNotification helper and the reviewActivationChangeRequest, reviewStageGateChangeRequest, and reviewStandardChangeRequest entry points. Trace the blocking-WP helper and existing Slack notification flow first. Done means timeline changes in all three request types notify affected work-package heads/leads, include the old and new timelines and a relevant WP link, and do not notify when the timeline is unchanged.
