FeeEscrow
The audit fee, held until the auditor actually attests.

The operator deposits the audit fee naming the auditor. It is released on attestation.
Two small properties make it worth having its own contract:
- The auditor is paid for work that happened, not for a promise. No attestation, no fee.
- The fee is escrowed up front, so the auditor is not chasing an operator for payment after taking on slashable risk.
The FeeEscrow is not on the slash path. A challenge touches the auditor's stake and the reserve; the fee is a payment for a service, not part of the security model. Keeping it out of the settlement logic keeps that logic small enough to reason about.
