What it does
Writes a note on one application of a board an applicant has shared with your organization. Every note is written to be read by the applicant it is about — there is no private staff channel here — so write it as you would say it to them. Only staff of a sharing organization may create one; an applicant reading their own card is refused. The organization and the share the note belongs to are taken from your own access rather than from the request, so a note cannot be filed under somebody else's organization. Find the application through `organization_shares.list` and then `applications.list`, and read the thread back with `coach_notes.list_for_application`.
