Marked-application download shows live progress
In the Planning screener's Applicant Email tab, the marked-application button now shows a spinner with its current step and a seconds counter ("Filling the City form... 14s"). A failure turns the button red with the reason until the next try.
Applicant email keeps item numbers in order
When staff reword a screener email item so it spans two lines, the next item keeps its number instead of restarting at "1.". Continuation lines now stay part of the item above them when edits are merged into a hand-edited email.

Screener stays connected to Tyler EnerGov
The new-application check against Tyler EnerGov now searches each permit number as an exact match instead of a broad text search, cutting each probe to a single page. That stops the city portal from rate-limiting CrossBeam, so the Screener Inbox and Incomplete Tasks no longer show sign-in errors.

One fail per City ask on resubmittals
Resubmittal screenings now check only whether each City ask was delivered, across every current file, with one round summary. A delivered item with a defect, such as a missing signature, resolves its ask and shows as a staff note rather than a new applicant fail.

Resubmittals graded against what staff asked for
A screener resubmittal is now graded only against what City staff actually asked for, read from the permit system's communications, review comments and marked-up attachments, and against the whole current application rather than only that round's uploads.
Resubmitted filings return to Incomplete Tasks
When an applicant resubmits a filing staff returned, it now moves back to Incomplete Tasks with its Returned by chip, instead of staying in Completed Tasks where it could be missed.
Filled Sign Permit Application for Laguna Beach sign filings
When a Laguna Beach sign filing arrives on the retired Planning Application or without signatures, staff can return the City's July 2026 Sign Permit Application pre-filled from the submittal, with each signature the applicant owes highlighted.

Laguna Beach reroof filings ask for Planning approval first
When the City record shows no Zone Clearance on file, Laguna Beach residential and commercial reroof screenings now list Planning approval as a missing item in the applicant email, instead of leaving it as a staff-only note that never reached the letter.
