[WIP] Design Doc: Script Editor

[hiemanshu]

Overview

A robust script editor (and interactions editor) is important to setup a multi path, robust campaign with lots of possible paths for texters to take.

The current setup setup supports multi path interactions, but can often get convoluted and time consuming to step.

Context

The current script editor is a little convoluted at times, with multiple warnings, loads of custom fields, and now with campaign variables all of them adding up into a complex view.

Parts of the backend can also be cleaned up and refactored to better handle character encoding, and converting all UI elements to MUI v4 and moving to a functional component removing any UNSAFE_ methods.

Goals and Non-Goals

Main Goals:

• Better support for loads of variables + campaign variables
• Better support for attaching attachments, with size warnings and mime type warnings
• Better support for warnings

Non Goals (for a later time):

• Rethink the interactions section

Very very WIP draft here @bchrobot @politics-rewired/organizing

@hiemanshu so this is scoped just UI/UX improvements to the script editor dialog, right?

The goals/non goals look good to me!
