Research direction

Start by tracing proposal submission and session validation in the application, then identify where form data is handled before submission. Confirm the expected behavior for an expired session, preserve the entered proposal data while requiring renewed authentication, and verify both cases through the existing application flow.

Description

Sometimes faculty leave their tab open for a few days then come back to the application to submit. The form will still accept responses, even though their session is long gone.

The application should a) not do that, and b) not lose their progress because of a) being solved. In other words, let's save some of the data in cookies, and use sessions correctly.
