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.

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.

Help article for reading applicant PreChecks
City staff in a PreCheck program now find a PreCheck category in Help, with an article on finding the PreCheck tab, searching by address, what each status means and what the staff summary shows. Only staff who can see the tab see the article.
MCP connections stay signed in after protocol upgrade
The MCP server's sign-in layer moves to the newer authorization standard while existing connections keep working, and AI clients can now register by publishing a client metadata document instead of a manual registration step.

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.
