MYCDIC v1.9.37.1 / V16.0.28.4 - Verification Split + Application Reliability Fix
Date: 2026-09-26

- Restored a dedicated Member Verification platform under /membership-verify/.
- Kept One Verification Platform for documents, certificates, applications, tasks, appointments, representations, public profiles and requests.
- Legacy verification-center.aspx?type=member links now route to the dedicated member verifier.
- Member verification reads from the V16.0.28.4 canonical MySQL member registry.
- Supporting-member declarations now require an exact current member name + permanent member number match in canonical MySQL, with client pre-check and server-side enforcement.
- Fixed canonical application submission schema compatibility with V16.0.28.2/V16.0.28.3/V16.0.28.4 schema markers.
- Application health now treats canonical MySQL readiness as the applicant-facing availability gate; Google Sheets/GAS remains a separately reported operational-mirror integration state.
- Applicant photograph preview now verifies JPG/PNG/WebP file signatures and browser decodability before accepting the file; rename-only fake image extensions are rejected and the preview must appear before continuing.
- Media/Creative public roles are optional; specialties, relevant experience and contribution remain contextual requirements when the profile is enabled.
- Refined Institutional boundaries & service intent presentation.
- Updated CIN verification wording to describe legally permissible checks against submitted documents and authorized/official sources without claiming automatic government-database access.
- Centered the footer legal block and incorporated Trendad LTD development credit into it.
