Conversation
The client scheduled an auto-close from a fallback left behind when the 'Notification Duration' setting was removed in #15737: the server never sends 'duration' for desktop notifications, so every notification was closed after exactly 10 seconds. That close cannot remove an OS notification the platform still shows — a Windows Action Center card stays repliable indefinitely — so its only effect was to tell the app the notification was over while the user could still act on it, which could drop late quick replies. Only schedule the timer when the server actually provides a duration.

The client schedules an auto-close for every desktop notification 10 seconds after it appears:
The server never sends
durationon this path (sendNotificationsOnMessagecallsnotifyDesktopUserwithout it), so the|| 10fallback always applies.That fallback is a leftover.
Desktop_Notifications_Durationstarted as an opt-in setting defaulting to0(#2955), and #15737 — "Remove a non working setting 'Notification Duration'" — deleted the setting, the API route, the user preference and the model methods. The client line that had read that preference stayed behind and became a hardcoded 10 seconds.It also cannot do what it looks like it does. Calling
close()does not remove a notification the OS still displays: a Windows Action Center card remains repliable indefinitely. So the only effect is to tell the desktop app the notification is finished while the user can still see and use it — which is how quick replies typed later were being dropped (handled on the Desktop side in RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron#3464, but this is where it originates).This change schedules the timer only when the server actually provides a
duration. Anyone who does send one keeps today's behavior.Issue(s)
Found while validating RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron#3464 against a live workspace on Windows (internal support escalation SUP-1097).
Steps to test or reproduce
Unit tests cover all four cases: no
duration→ no timer scheduled and the notification stays open;durationpresent → honoured to the millisecond;requireInteraction→ never auto-closed.Further comments
Behavior change worth a second opinion from anyone who knows this hook's history — if the fallback is deliberately compensating for a platform that does not dismiss notifications on its own, I have not found a record of it in #2955, #14807, #15737 or #18285, but I would rather hear that than assume.
