Filing sequence (dogfood first)
- Dogfood individual audit (/shoes/audit) → economic_shoe_audit WAL
- Exercise RATIO receipts (/ratio/ledger) on assurance frontier
- Map five frontiers to existing SKENAI receipt lanes — no narrative-only filing
- Fund application form when counsel clears outward claims
