Change permit type hidden when the router decides
On runs where the AI review names the permit from the documents, such as every Buena Park PreCheck, the Change permit type button is gone. Before, it opened an empty dropdown and restarted the run without changing the permit.

Buena Park rules answered directly in PreCheck findings
Findings now state the answer instead of saying "confirm with OCFA": Buena Park's sprinkler retrofit threshold for garage conversions, its construction hours (BPMC 8.28.040, Mon-Sat 7 a.m.-8 p.m.), and when a one-story ADU in a liquefaction zone needs a soils report.
PreCheck results now arrive as a short applicant brief
Buena Park PreCheck applicants get a short, ordered brief instead of a list of roughly 300 worksheet checks. It groups the failed and flagged findings into steps in work order, and each step cites the findings behind it.

Buena Park simple permits run on state rules
Buena Park cleanout, panel upgrade, repipe, reroof, rewire and water heater reviews now run on the California state checks plus city info, since the city adds no local rules for them, instead of pointing at missing city checks. They stay listed wherever Buena Park's permit types appear.
Buena Park runs plan sets that resist classification
When the permit router cannot classify a Buena Park plan set, the review now proceeds as a general building review against state code instead of failing on every retry.

PermitReady FastPass certificate for strong re-checks
Buena Park pre-check applicants who resolve more than half of the prior round's Fix items on a re-check earn a printable FastPass certificate to attach to their plan check submittal. City staff can confirm it on a public verify page; it does not promise faster review.
