+## Proof of completion

+The sender may optionally require proof when sending any dare, catalogue or custom:
+`sent_dares.proof_type` is `'none'` (default), `'photo'`, or `'audio'`. The recipient
+uploads the proof first (`POST /v1/media/dare_proof` — images and audio, 25MB cap,
+couple-scoped so the sender can view it) and passes the resulting media id to `submit`.
+The server enforces the requirement: a proofed dare cannot be submitted without media of
+the matching type, and the media must be a `dare_proof` object owned by the recipient in
+the same couple. Voluntary proof on a `'none'` dare is accepted. The proof renders inline
+on the dare card (photo, or an audio player) via the standard signed-URL flow.
