The verification panel is gone from user profiles

Every user profile carried a Verification status card listing email, phone, ID proof and address proof. It always read “Pending” — for every user, on every profile, no matter what. Nothing in the platform ever recorded a verification against it, so there was no state for it to show.

A panel that can only ever say one thing tells you nothing, and this one invited the reading that four checks were outstanding when none had ever been started. It has been removed rather than left to mislead.

Nothing you could previously do has been taken away — the card was never wired to an action. Notification preferences now sits full-width where the two cards used to share a row.

Expert document review is unaffected: evidence experts upload is reviewed where it always was, and that flow never fed this panel.
