Hi folks, this one likely warrants wider review (and less alliteration): https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1846354
I'll push the branch out after partner testing,but I've stayed pretty true to the tech specs linked in that ticket and want to share an overview before then. The main thing that is happening is that actor.usr_message is becoming the container for all patron-related notes, public or private. actor.usr_note is going away, as well as the alert_mesage field on actor.usr and the note field on actor.usr_standing_penalty. Blocking and alerting behavior will remain with standing penalties, which may be optionally linked to a specific row in actor.usr_message via a usr_message field. There is a view for populating the interface that combines penalties and user messages. In the staff UI, Messages is getting relabeled to Notes. That's about it, really; please share any questions or concerns.
