ImprovedScreener

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.

ImprovedScreener

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.

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.
