Activity

Adds an opt-in SMS channel for a small, deliberately-tight set of time-sensitive alerts. SMS is strictly opt-in (default off, verified mobile required) — stricter than our soft-opt-in marketing email, per PECR.

Which notifications send SMS

Only when the recipient has opted in and verified their mobile:

• Direct booking request → cleaner (losing work if missed)
• Booking reminder → day-of
• Payment needed / unpaid → client (ties into the remind-to-pay work)
• Payout paid → cleaner

How it works

• users.sms_opt_in (default false) + User::wantsSms() = sms_opt_in && hasVerifiedPhone().
• Custom SmsChannel routed through the existing Vonage SmsService, registered via Notification::resolved. Each notification adds sms to via() only when wantsSms(), and exposes a short toSms().
• Every text carries "manage texts in your account settings" — we settled on in-app opt-out (no STOP number / inbound webhook) for now.
• Settings → Notifications gains a Text messages section: a toggle when the mobile is verified, otherwise a prompt to verify (links to profile). Reassurance copy: we never sell the number.
• sms_opt_in flows through the shared UpdateNotificationPreferences action as an optional param, so the admin prefs form (PR4c) is unaffected.

Tests

• wantsSms() truth table (opt-in × verified).
• SmsChannel sends via SmsService only when opted-in + verified; not otherwise.
• via() includes sms only for opted-in verified users.
• Settings page exposes smsOptIn/hasVerifiedPhone; a verified user can opt in.
• Full notifications + settings suites green.

Browser-verified both states (toggle when verified; verify-prompt when not) and confirmed an opt-in persists end-to-end.
