Provide exceptions to the sequestration process for dormant projects #290

Description

We had a project get sequestered as "empty_and_inactive" because it was empty and inactive. Yet the PI wants it. they said,

I open REDCap project PID 13172, and I am getting a notification that the project has been sequestered as of 03/01/2026 due to being empty and inactive. However, this project is still active. It has not been filled out recently by anyone showing interest in the study via the QR code it’s linked to which is simply due to not being contacted via this method, and it is empty because it is required for us to delete information from the forms once the person has been contacted, as they are entered into a separate project per our IRB protocol. Recruitment was simply separated from the main study REDCap project as a result of how the IRB required us to do things essentially.

Indeed, the project is very inactive. See:
https://redcap.ctsi.ufl.edu/redcap/redcap_v16.1.4/Logging/index.php?pid=13172&usr=&record=&beginTime=&endTime=&dag=undefined&logtype=

The code tests last logged activity date on the project record. The test is, “is it more than a year old”. The relevant code is at

# empty and inactive projects

Curiously, the unsequestration process I bumped last logged activity today as I unsequestered the project.
