Back end work for UICIRC-164 and UICIRC-165: Determine patron notice policy based upon loan rules

Assumptions

• Resolving patron policies follows the same rules as for loan policies, as described here

Outstanding Decisions

• Should this include validation that the patron notice policy exists when the rules are changed?
  API Design

How do we want to reflect the ability to evaluate the rules for different policy types in the API?

Scenarios
These are broad scenarios. If useful they can be expanded with respect more of the loan rules matching rules.

Scenario 1

• Given loan rules with a matching rule for a patron notice policy P
• When the rules are applied
• Then patron notice policy P is provided

Scenario 2

• Given loan rules with no rules matching for a request policy
• And a fallback policy that includes patron notice policy P
• When the rules are applied
• Then patron notice policy P is provided

Scenario 3 (may not be possible)

• Given loan rules with no rules matching for a patron notice policy
• And no fallback policy that includes a patron notice policy
• When the rules are applied
• What should happen?
