Email typo check, round numbers and a Re-check button
The PreCheck form now suggests a fix for near-miss email domains like gmial.com, and the Terms step fits phones with the checkbox in a sticky footer. Receipts, status pages and emails show Round 2 of 3 for this address, and results have a Re-check your revised plans button showing free rounds left.
PreCheck receipt updates live until results are ready
The page shown after submitting now tracks the run's stages and changes to Your results are ready when it finishes. The emailed status page also checks status on a timer, so it switches to results even if the live connection drops.
One consistent PreCheck time estimate
Every applicant screen and email now says results take 30 to 90 minutes, including the intake page, receipt, live status ticker, FAQ and receipt email. The range comes from completed reviews on real plan sets, which took about 35 to 70 minutes.
PreCheck email link opens a live receipt
The link in the PreCheck receipt email now opens the same receipt card applicants saw after submitting, with live stages (Extract, Research, Review, PreCheck Report), a progress bar and elapsed time. City artwork on the receipt now crossfades slowly instead of popping.

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.
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.
PreCheck tab on the city staff board
City staff in a PreCheck program get a PreCheck tab under Plan Reviews, with one searchable row per address showing round, free rounds used, permit kind and true status. Opening a row shows a staff view that labels failed runs Needs attention and links to the other rounds at that address.
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.
Run activity and failure messages show only status
Review progress lines and the failed-run card now show plain status, such as turns completed or that a run reached its limit, including on older runs.
