resend_email calls generate_and_send(id).
The same reference-based PDF path is written again.
The resend uses the current history record and current company settings.

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.

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.
