How did you get this past code inspection without the requisite guardrail on the outside of the stair?

They probably put up something passable for inspection & then took it down. The inspector isn't on the guest list of any ensuing cocktail parties...

The stairs were inspected and passed City inspection and met all local codes. The original design had a glass panel attached to the treads and ceiling, the owners opted to remove the panel for better airflow and openness after they moved in.

Does that mean, then, that they would NOT pass code without the glass panel?
