U.S. Passport Journey

First-time application in a ninth domain, SAME engine. LOOP: acceptance review requested more citizenship evidence, supplied on the second pass (history preserved). JOIN: 3 of 4 printing prerequisites converge — the photo still validating; "Ready to print" stays locked until all four meet. Issuance then branches routine vs expedited.
