<details open="true"><summary><h1>Original Body</h1></summary>
> As part of this, it has become impossible for a player to play without
dismissing the message in some form. Instead of a shitty popup window,
the popup is now a fullscreen overlay that blocks clicks behind it,
making the game unplayable. Also, if a user somehow has multiple
messages they will be combined into one popup.
>
> ## About the PR
> Admin messages now have separate "seen" and "dismissed" fields. The
idea is that an admin should be able to tell whether a user pressed the
"dismiss for now" button. Instead of using "seen" as "show this message
to players when they join", "dismissed" is now used for this.
>
> ## Why / Balance
> Fixes#26211
>
> ## Technical details
> Existing notes in the database will automatically be marked as
dismissed on migration. A note cannot be dismissed without being seen
(enforced via constraint in the database too, aren't I fancy).

> - tweak: Admin messages are now shown as "seen" even if the player
dismisses them only temporarily. Also, it is impossible for players to
play without dismissing the message (temporary or permanent).
