Pull Request Overview
This PR prevents updating the rpd (print disability request) status to "fulfilled" for patrons who didn't request special access through Open Library, addressing a data inconsistency where over 1,000 patrons had fulfilled status without having made a request.
- Adds a condition to check for the presence of
pda(print disability authority) before updatingrpdstatus - Ensures only patrons who actually requested access via Open Library get their status updated to fulfilled

Background Information
Our
/admin/pdstats tell us that ~10 patrons have had their special access requests fulfilled (meaning theirrpdpreference has a value of2). However, there are over 1,000 patrons who have anrpd: 2, but nopdaauthority in the store.Why is this happening?
Whenever any patron logs in, we check the
xauthnresponse to see if they have special access. If they do, we update theirrpdstatus to fulfilled. This is done even if the patron did not request special access via Open Library. Such patrons can be identified by having a fulfilledrpdvalue, but nopdavalue in their preferences (this stores the patron's chosen print disability qualifying authority).How does this branch help?
This branch will prevent an
rpdvalue from being saved to a patron's preference object if they do not already have apdavalue.Technical
