Stenographic Notes

Transcript of Stenographic Notes (TSN) entries capture the transcribed record of a hearing.

Like Sheriff Reports, this is not a separate database table — it's a filtered view over Case Activities where activity = "Transcript of Stenographic Notes", scoped to the branches the authenticated Stenographer is assigned to, and returned as CaseActivityWithItemResource.
