1. Open the documented public path for U.S. Copyright Office: Registration Portal -> choose work type -> log into eCO -> complete claim, pay fee, upload deposit. Portal guidance is public; the claim itself requires an eCO login.
2. Check the listed blockers and policy constraints before entering account, payment, booking, or cancellation state.
3. Stop before any irreversible or user-sensitive action and ask for explicit approval.

## Human Approval

Keep the user present for authentication. Do not request, store, or replay credentials or one-time codes.

## Do Not Cross

- Keep the user present for any login, identity verification, or payment step.
- Confirm the correct registration category before filing; errors affect the effective date.
- Provide informational workflow guidance only, not legal advice.

## Success Signals

- eCO case number

## Recommended Actions

- Keep the user present for any login, identity verification, or payment step. Keeps the agent inside documented, reversible, user-approved boundaries.
