Laguna Beach staff get accounts on first Microsoft sign-in
Laguna Beach staff signing in with Microsoft from the City's own Microsoft tenant now get an account in the City's organization automatically, then pick Planning, Building or Both once. The address alone is not trusted; the City's tenant must match.

Screener stays connected to Tyler EnerGov
The new-application check against Tyler EnerGov now searches each permit number as an exact match instead of a broad text search, cutting each probe to a single page. That stops the city portal from rate-limiting CrossBeam, so the Screener Inbox and Incomplete Tasks no longer show sign-in errors.
Share PreCheck results without forwarding email
The PreCheck results page now has a Share button that gives designers revocable, read-only access after they sign in with Google or Microsoft. Opening an emailed results link in a browser signed in as someone else no longer switches that session.
Resend link opens the review that is running
When an applicant submits twice at the same address while the first review is still running, the 'send my link again' email now opens the active review instead of the second submission that was refused.
Expired PreCheck sign-in links lead to a fresh link
An applicant who opens an expired or already-used emailed sign-in link now lands on their city's PreCheck intake page with the resend form open, instead of a password login they never set up. If the browser is already signed in, they go straight to their results.
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.
