App behavior when users subscribe to a docket identifier that is associated to multiple court dates

[NathanWEdwards]

Currently, docket identifiers with multiple court sessions sometimes display a session that is not the session that takes place nearest in time when a matching docket identifier is found. The application may send out a reminder for sessions taking place nearest in time when a reminder is set, however.

Proposal:

Given a docket identifier has multiple court sessions, when a user supplies a docket identifier, then the user should be prompted to confirm receiving a reminder for the court session that takes place nearest in time and informed that they will receive future notices for that docket (option to unsubscribe from specific docket should be post MVD feature).

Given a court session on 10/04/2022 and a session on 11/01/2022 have the same docket/case identifier (123-4-56 ABCD), when a user sends out a text to receive a notification on 10/01/2022, the system should notify the user of the case taking place on 10/04/2022 and the user should receive a text on 10/03/2022, and then again on 10/31 regarding the 11/1 date.

As a user, I want to receive a reminder for all court sessions 24 hours before each session when I supply a docket identifier that is associated to multiple court sessions.

Acceptance criteria:

• The session nearest in time is presented to the user when a single case is found, and the user is informed that they are subscribed to the docket.
• The application sends out one SMS message per docket event as a reminder when a user subscribes to a docket.

@NathanWEdwards and @iamyume - I made some edits here based on the conversation with Eugene. Forgive me if that was a poor approach. A user will really expect to be notified of all dates when they subscribe. We don't want to make them resubscribe to each of the dozens of events in a case. The update above reflects that.
