Laguna Beach issuance drops the Construction Deposit row
Laguna Beach Building screens no longer list "Construction Deposit" on the Issuance tab, since the City no longer requires it on any project. The filled issuance handout leaves that row blank.

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.

PreCheck landing and staff board fit phones
On phones the PreCheck upload box now appears on the first screen and reads Tap to choose your plans. On the city staff board, project rows keep their names and addresses, badges wrap instead of clipping, tabs scroll on one row, and the PreCheck queue shows whole addresses.

Focused PreCheck accounts and slow-run notices
Applicants with only city-paid PreChecks now see just Projects and their city's Ask AI assistant, without Job Sites or Drive. If a run is still going at 90 minutes, the applicant gets one email saying results are taking longer than usual and will arrive by email.

Cancelled reviews stop within a minute
A review that is cancelled or marked failed now stops its work within about a minute, and a run that finishes anyway can no longer overwrite the failed or cancelled status with results. Projects and their results always agree on status.
PreCheck uploads survive stalls and dropped connections
A stalled upload is aborted and retried with backoff once the device is back online, closing the tab mid-upload asks for confirmation, and a failed upload offers Try again, which re-sends only unfinished files to the same project instead of creating a duplicate.
Project data trimmed to what each viewer needs
Project detail responses now return only the review data a viewer needs. Internal processing details are limited to platform administrators, so owners, applicants and city viewers see a leaner, cleaner payload.

Design Review section only when Design Review applies
Laguna Beach Planning letters now include the Design Review Authority section only when the project actually needs Design Review approval, based on the worksheet's entitlement decisions. Ministerial ADU and SB 9 lot split letters no longer carry it.
