Tenant improvement and multi-unit sets get dedicated reviews
When the AI review identifies a plan set as a commercial or restaurant tenant improvement or a multi-unit building, it now runs that permit type's dedicated review instead of the residential worksheet. Unlabeled full drawing sets get the full worksheet review rather than a counter-form check.

Plain-language routing summary for City staff
The submittal routing panel now shows plan checkers a one- or two-sentence plain summary of how a submittal was routed, plus the permit number and name of each application found, instead of raw internal notes.
Results bar shows Checks run
The results bar now shows Checks run, the total behind the result pills, instead of a step count that undercounted large reviews. Planning results show how many applicable worksheet rows were reviewed.

Evidence boxes no longer cover the text they cite
Evidence pin boxes now draw a thin ring just outside the cited words, and the marker sits beside the box, so the quoted text stays readable at any zoom. The pre-check landing page background also spans the full page instead of ending in a hard edge.
Long Building letters export without timing out
Large Building letters, such as one with 171 items, no longer fail with "Letter export timed out." The letter is now worded in parallel batches of up to 20 items, each checked so no item is lost or added, and a batch that drifts keeps its original wording.
Building letter export includes missing information and comments
The Building letterhead export now carries Missing Information items and general comments, not just corrections. Following the City's own letters, they share one numbered list with the corrections under the structural and non-structural sections.
Distinct defects no longer dropped from Building letters
A Building correction letter no longer silently drops an item just because its text says "see" another item. Duplicate items are now decided from the review itself, so a separate defect that references another correction stays in the letter.

Evidence pins show on calc pages filed as sheets
Calc PDFs whose pages appear as sheet tabs now show their evidence pins on those tabs, and the Evidence chip zooms to the box. Sheets are also keyed by page, so plan sets with repeated sheet numbers no longer mix up findings between pages.
Evidence boxes land on the exact quoted words
Evidence pins on calc and report pages are now boxed around the exact phrase the reviewer quotes, matched against the page's OCR word and line positions. If the phrase is on a neighboring page, the pin moves there.

Findings point to the calc or report page they cite
The findings viewer now draws a finding's evidence box on the supporting-document page it cites, such as structural calcs or a soils report. An Evidence chip on the finding card opens that page, and clicking a pin selects its finding or opens Accept / Reject / Modify.
Every page of every upload reaches the review
A plan set uploaded under a document label such as a report no longer loses all but its first page. Each page now gets a thumbnail and is judged as drawing or supporting document, so letter-size plan sets land in the sheet index and get reviewed.
