Twilio weekly service updates

Set these environment variables before using the SMS workflow:

• AIRTABLE_API_KEY
• AIRTABLE_BASE_ID
• TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID
• TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
• TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER

Two API routes power the flow:

• POST /api/twilio/weekly-updates sends one reminder text per service record, even when a provider has multiple services.
• POST /api/twilio/webhook receives inbound Twilio replies and lets providers confirm or update the specific service by including the exact service name at the start of the message, for example Legal Aid Clinic 1 or Legal Aid Clinic STATUS: Open.

If a provider has multiple services, the reply needs the exact service name because SMS replies do not carry the original message context.
