1.2 Assessment Center - improved clarity of Recording statuses in Audio/Video response question results

We’ve added clearer status labels for video response attempts in assessment results, to allow users to easily understand whether a video was deleted intentionally without the need to contact Support Team. We’ve also fixed the layout to make the interface more cohesive and user-friendly.

ESKTC-4790 Resolved an issue where the welcome email for new Author users contained an incorrect link.
ESKL3-2302 Resolved an issue where selecting the body text of a response option could unintentionally mark a different answer choice. The system will now correctly register selections only when the checkbox or intended option is clicked.
ESKCONT-4787 Resolved an issue in the MS Office Excel® simulation question (#712091) where parentheses usage impacted answer validation for a specific question. Test Takers willnow be able to generate correct answers regardless of whether parentheses are included, ensuring consistency and fairness.
