In July 2025, the Permits Navigator service delivered a comprehensive Authorization System Overhaul, enabling a robust shift from Permit-based workflows to an Authorization-centric model. This included new UI components (Authorization - View, Form, CardIntake, StatusUpdatesCard), updated routes, and upsert-based permit creation, along with reorganized code placement (authorization folder) and extensible status tracking. A parallel effort extended the data model and backend capabilities to support Source Systems and Permit Tracking, introducing new types (PermitTracking, SourceSystemCode, SourceSystemKind), a getSourceSystems route, and migrations to support info_url on permit_type, plus updates to projectStore and tests. A critical bug fix was implemented in email notifications to ensure alerts are only sent when a permit is actually needed, reducing noise for users. The month also included frontend/backend test updates, localization adjustments (en-CA), and refactoring to improve maintainability and test coverage. Overall, these efforts improved data integrity, operability, and end-to-end efficiency, enabling better compliance, analytics, and a smoother user experience.
