Screener City Record tab opens without reloading the page
The first click on the screener's City Record tab no longer drops the whole project page back to a loading skeleton for a few seconds. The tab now shows its own loading placeholder while it loads.
City Record tab added to the screener
Screener records now have a City Record tab between Site & Zoning and Raw Docs, showing the parcel's past permits and archived documents without leaving the screen. It uses the same viewer and access rules as the job site page and appears for cities with a connected archive.
City Record pulls work again in the screener
City Record lookups that failed since Oct 1 now complete. The Laserfiche portal began redirecting searches back to the same page with new cookies; the client now follows those redirects by hand and keeps every cookie, stopping with a clear error on a loop.
