Code-backed validations and workflow rules

Only the values and actions exposed by the supplied Letter Manager v1.0.0 code are supported.
Browser controls are not a substitute for server-side and operational verification.

Expected result and verification

The requested letter, template, setting, file or tracking detail is created or updated through the supported route.
The history row, generated PDF, email/send metadata, public verification, signature evidence, client view or postal display agrees with the action.
Any warning, missing file or failed send is investigated rather than bypassed.

Security, privacy and operational checks

Apply least privilege and verify recipient identity before sending or exposing public links.
Protect PDFs, enclosures, signatures, verification URLs, email-open metadata, IP addresses and customer data under organisational policy.
Test configuration and deployment changes with controlled records before production-wide use.
Interpret email opens and e-signatures according to their documented technical limitations.
