It allows us to track when communication tasks are complete, and
information about how they were completed, separate from the entries
that created the tasks in the first place (reports, emails, texts)
This is a huge change. I was getting really sick of the split between
nuisance/water tables when more than half of the data they store is
common. I finally bit off the big work of switching it all.
This creates a single unified table, publicreport.report and copies the
existing report data into it. It also ports existing data from the
original tables into the new table.
Along with all of this I also overhauled the system for handling
asynchronous work to use a LISTEN/NOTIFY connection from the database
and a single cache table to avoid ever losing work.
This is extremely useful for testing.
In order to do this I needed to actually deploy the migration to a bob
fork so I could start to add support for behaviors I really want.
Specifically the ability to search for ids in a slice.
