Added stats summary box to Payments page (ParkWhiz Admin)To provide immediate visibility into payout totals and breakdown by payment method, a new Stats Summary Box has been added to the top of the Payments page (admin.parkwhiz.com/payments).

This behavior was introduced as a side effect of the SSO rollout. Limited Fuzzy Matching Lookup to Location Level SearchesLicense plate fuzzy matching queries are now restricted to location-level searches to prevent database timeouts caused by system-wide historical lookups. Requests attempting global fuzzy matching will return a validation error to ensure platform performance and stability.

This update included a full refresh of our dependencies and Docker images. Write test suite utilizing PARCS test harness endpoints for existing EP flow [HUB] Added a comprehensive automated test suite within the HUB application to validate the existing Express Pay (EP) functionality. The tests leverage the new PARCS test harness endpoints (POST PARCS/v1/test/parkings and PUT PARCS/v1/test/parkings/:id) to simulate the full lifecycle of a standard Express Pay session, including verification that session data is handled correctly throughout the flow. Email changes on SSO-enabled Parkwhiz accountsNon-admins are no longer permitted to edit the email address associated with an SSO-enabled account. When an administrator does change an email, the system now registers the new address with our user pool and initiates a password/MFA reset to ensure the user’s access is properly re-established.

Email address management on SSO-enabled accounts (ParkWhiz)Non-admins are no longer permitted to edit the email address associated with a use_sso account.
