Someone at edx was able to quickly send a few texts to himself using the tool.
Each text came from a different number and there was no message about the ability to unsubscribe or stop.
This could potentially be used to spam users as well as potentially result in charges to edX for high volume.

- Update management command to use the same logic that the Instructor Dashboard uses
- Fix bug in management command where processing stopped when encountering a user that did not exist
- Add more logging
- Add and update tests where needed
Centralize the logic for choosing between
MFE and Legacy-frontend courseware within
three new functions:
* courseware_mfe_is_active
* courseware_mfe_is_visible
* courseware_legacy_is_visible
This allows us to create another new function:
* get_courseware_url
which can be called anywhere in LMS/Studio
to get the canonical URL to courseware
content (whether it be MFE or Legacy).
In future commits we we begin using
get_courseware_url throughout the platform.

django-not-configured is an error raised by pylint (with
the pylint-django plugin) when it's not correctly configured.
We should not be applying lint amnesty for such a violation.
[MICROBA-1038]
- Today, we check if a learner is actively enrolled in a course-run before we add or remove them from the Instructor Dashboard allow list. We ran into an issue where we couldn't remove an entry from the list because the learner is no longer actively enrolled in the course-run. Update instructor dashboard logic to only check enrollment status when _adding_ a learner to the allow list.
When this flag is enabled, users will be 50/50 bucketed into an
experiment where users get course highlights and nudges from an
external service (like sailthru or braze) rather than from
edx-platform via ACE.

This commit removes several waffle toggles that have been enabled
on edx.org for years. It's time to remove the rollout gating for
these features and enable them by default.
This doesn't directly change any behavior. But it does create new
database objects by default now and allows for enabling other
schedule based features more easily.
Specifically, the following toggles were affected.
schedules.create_schedules_for_course
- Waffle flag removed as always-enabled
- We now always create a schedule when an enrollment is created
schedules.send_updates_for_course
- Waffle flag removed as always-enabled
- Course update emails are sent as long as the ScheduleConfig
allows it.
- This is not a change in default behavior, because ScheduleConfig
is off by default.
dynamic_pacing.studio_course_update
- Waffle switch removed as always-enabled
- Course teams can now always edit course updates directly in Studio
ScheduleConfig.create_schedules
ScheduleConfig.hold_back_ratio
- Model fields for rolling out the schedules feature
- Schedules are now always created
- This commit only removes references to these fields, they still
exist in the database. A future commit will remove them entirely
This commit also adds a new has_highlights field to CourseOverview.
This is used to cache whether a course has highlights, used to
decide which course update email behavior they get. Previously every
enrollment had to dig into the modulestore to determine that.
