This deletes a big ol' chunk of code related to letters. It's not everything—there are still a few things that might be tied to sms/email—but it's the the heart of letters function. SMS and email function should be untouched by this.
Areas affected:
- Things obviously about letters
- PDF tasks, used for precompiling letters
- Virus scanning, used for those PDFs
- FTP, used to send letters to the printer
- Postage stuff
When we cloned the repository and started making modifications, we
didn't initially keep tests in step. This commit tries to get us to a
clean test run by skipping tests that are failing and removing some
that we no longer expect to use (MMG, Firetext), with the intention that
we will come back in future and update or remove them as appropriate.
To find all tests skipped, search for `@pytest.mark.skip(reason="Needs
updating for TTS:`. There will be a brief description of the work that
needs to be done to get them passing, if known. Delete that line to make
them run in a standard test run (`make test`).
This effectively reverts [^1], which was only a temporary change.
I suspect the performance problem will go away with [^2].
While we've clearly been managing without this change, it resulted
in several rows being left as incorrect when letter receipts were
delayed. It makes sense for us to run this task for the same period
as we do to aggregate statuses, as status affects billing.

The new alert happens earlier but is otherwise the same:
- We only create a ticket in Production.
- We only create a ticket on approval.
I took this opportunity to refactor the alert as a private function
and test this specifically in detail to avoid lots of repetitive
mocks, which are required when calling the main "update" function.
One test I haven't preserved was for when the "names" array is empty,
as this was added for a legacy data integrity scenario [^1].

This is enough to update a notification in DB:
1. First create a notification in the UI and sent it.
2. Then reset its attributes to pretend it's for Reach.
update notifications set
sent_at = null,
sent_by = null,
notification_status='sending'
where id='some-uuid';
3. Change "notification_id" to "<some-uuid>" in the code.
4. Call the boilerplate endpoint for Reach callbacks.
curl -X POST localhost:6011/notifications/sms/reach
Interestingly there's no foreign key constraint on "sent_by" in the
DB, so this just works: the notification is updated.
