## Description
The user is sitting at ecorp.delaware.gov right now and needs to know EXACTLY where to go to submit the Certificate of Amendment and pay the filing fee.

Check docs/filing-walkthrough.md — it reportedly has a 33-step screen-by-screen guide for the eCorp portal. Extract the specific navigation steps for:

1. Where to click after logging in to start a new filing
2. What filing type to select (Certificate of Amendment? Amendment? Something else?)
3. Where to enter the file number (10558073)
4. Where/how to upload the PDF
5. The payment step and expected fee (~$214)
6. What confirmation/receipt to save

Be VERY specific — the user needs button names, menu items, exact labels as they appear in the UI. If the filing walkthrough has this info, extract it. If it's unclear or seems outdated, note that.

Log findings with `wg log` immediately — this is time-sensitive, the user is ready to file NOW.

• 2026-04-13T19:19:56.842837088+00:00 === IMPORTANT WARNING === Today is Sunday, April 13, 2026. The Delaware eCorp portal hours are: - Mon-Thu: 7:45 AM - 11:59 PM EST - Friday: 7:45 AM - 10:30 PM EST - Weekends/holidays: NOT AVAILABLE The portal may not be accessible right now. The user may need to wait until Monday morning (7:45 AM EST) to file. === CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT === The filing walkthrough (docs/filing-walkthrough.md) provides specific UI elements: - Button names: "My eCorp", "Document Filing and Certificate Request", "Document Filing Request" - Icons: Person icon (top right) for login confirmation - Form fields: Corporation Name, Corporation Number, Reservation Number, Document Type - Exact values to enter for each field POTENTIAL STALENESS: This guide was compiled April 7, 2026 (6 days ago). The eCorp portal UI may have changed since then, though unlikely in 6 days. The URLs and navigation structure appear current. One area of uncertainty: the guide references going to https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/ecorp2/services/e-filing and then selecting "Document Filing and Certificate Request" — it's unclear if this is a link on that page or a menu option. The user should look for this label on the page after navigating to the e-filing URL.
