' Jurisdiction Number Validation
'=======================================================================================================================
' Validates a submitted jurisdiction number against the JCode field of the jurisdictions
' list served by JurisdictionApiUrl (see public/web.config). That list is essentially static
' reference data (townships/municipalities), so it's cached in Application scope for
' JurisdictionCacheMinutes (default 60) instead of being fetched on every /request-order
' submission. If a refresh attempt fails, stale cached data is used rather than blocking
' order requests; only when there is no cached data at all (e.g. immediately after an app
' pool restart, with the API also unreachable) does validation fail open (allow) rather than
' block every order request site-wide.
'
' The cache is stored as a single delimited STRING ("|code1|code2|...|"), not a
' Scripting.Dictionary or array of objects - Scripting.Dictionary is an apartment-threaded
' COM object, and IIS raises "ASP 0197: Disallowed object use" if you try to store one in
' the Application intrinsic (which is shared across all requests/threads). A plain string is
' just script data, so it's safe to cache this way.
