Ask the other institution to review a match
Asks the other organization involved in this match to review its own side and record a determination.
Face images are never shared between consortium members, so when a human needs a second opinion on a borderline match (a near-threshold similarity, a suspected sibling or twin) this moves the question rather than the applicant’s photo: the peer looks at the record it already holds, and only their investigation status crosses the organization boundary.
Idempotent for 24 hours — re-requesting while a request is still
outstanding returns already_pending and does not re-notify the peer.
The pending state is visible on the match as
peer_investigation.review_requested_at.
