Step 1 — Record who pays tuition (Priority: P1)

Navigate: https://sp-dev.fly.dev/applications/paralegal/apply/` as that learner
Act: On Program & funding, choose VA / Military (or Sallie Mae / Third party — not Self pay, so this stays distinct from US1-2). Finish the form and pay $40. Land on the confirmation page with a reference number.
Navigate: https://sp-dev.fly.dev/applications/paralegal/apply/`
Act: Program & funding → Self pay. Complete the application and pay $40. Confirmation shows a reference number.
Navigate: As the Enrollment Admin, pipeline → status filter Unpaid → a draft that has never saved Program & funding and has never paid.
Act: Open that application.
Navigate: Paralegal apply → Program & funding
Act: Save Self pay, go back, change to VA / Military, then pay $40
Navigate: After saving the step, open that draft as the Enrollment Admin (pipeline → status filter Unpaid). Optionally stop on the payment step without a successful card.
Act: Save Self pay and do not complete payment.
Navigate: As the Enrollment Admin, pipeline → status filter Unpaid → open that draft
Act: Confirm Program funding saved says No on the Application card. If you need a draft that already saved step 3, a superuser unchecks Program funding saved in Applications admin (https://sp-dev.fly.dev/admin/applications/application/`) and saves before payment. That is a test-data edit. Then pay $40 as the learner.
Navigate: As the Enrollment Admin, application detail for that learner → Fees card → the $40 order
Act: Read Payer. Do not set it.


You're done when
Given a learner who answers who will fund the program, When the payer is recorded, Then that party is the tuition payer and a later tuition charge can be tied back to them.
As the Enrollment Admin, open that application at https://sp-dev.fly.dev/dashboard/applications/<pk>/. The Payers card shows one Active payer. The type is VA (or Student Loan / Other for the other choices). No organization is named. On the Fees card, the $40 order’s Payer shows —. The payer is the record a later tuition charge would point at; this story does not create that charge.
On application detail as the Enrollment Admin, the Payers card shows exactly one Active payer. The type is Self, named as that learner. No organization is named (no family sponsor). No second active payer. On the Fees card, the $40 order’s Payer shows —.
The Payers card lists no payer. This browser check only shows “nothing recorded yet.” The empty-string rule (recording considered, no payer created) is the pytest, which is the review proof for this criterion.
On application detail as the Enrollment Admin, the Payers card has one Active payer, type VA. Any earlier Self payer for that learner says Inactive. On the Fees card, the $40 order’s Payer still shows —.
The Application card shows Funding source = Self Pay and Program funding saved = Yes. The Payers card lists no payer.
