ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a cross-platform background notification badge feature spanning web state, favicon rendering, Electron IPC, preload APIs, and native OS integration, with changed behavior on existing notification paths. An unresolved medium finding also identifies a user-visible favicon regression in the new badge implementation.

The Windows fallback note repeats the resolved review at #11569 (comment). The renderer supplies the PNG; if rendering is unavailable, clearing the overlay prevents a stale count while notifications keep working. That behavior is unchanged in bfb254c. The docstring coverage warning is non-blocking; this patch does not need additional API documentation. |

Upstream pingdotgg#11569 and pingdotgg#11570 now badge, toast, and play a sound when a thread finishes, fails, or needs input. That covers the job, so the fork's agent-triggered ring and its sound picker go, per the upstream-wins rule. Reverts 8c89523 and e5e7131.

Merges upstream main as of 2026-09-13 (v0.0.40 release plus the notification work: opt-in thread notifications and sounds pingdotgg#11481, in-app notifications pingdotgg#11570, dock/favicon badge pingdotgg#11569). Conflict resolution: - WorkspaceEntries: keep upstream's directoryPath listing and the custom git-ls-files fallback used when the native index is unavailable. - GrokAdapter: keep the custom provider parameterisation (Kiro reuses the adapter) with upstream's new supportsConversationRollback flag. - MidwayCookies: Schema.TaggedErrorClass -> Schema.TaggedError (Effect rc.112 rename applied upstream). - .gitignore, mobile ProviderIcon: keep both sides.

What changed
Background thread notifications now add an app badge and a numbered web favicon. Counts cover completions, failures, approvals, and input requests across environments, with one count per thread. Existing notification settings control badges. Focusing any T3 window clears the count and tracked notifications. Removing an environment drops its pending alerts. Focused clients do not show system popups or badges; in-app alerts and sound settings still apply.
Why
Keep a reminder of background alerts until the user returns. Built on @Andrew-Forster's work in #11040. Thank you for the original desktop badge implementation. This PR extends it with notification-based counts that clear on app focus rather than requiring each completed thread to be opened.
UI changes
Windows uses a taskbar overlay from 1 to 9, then 9+. macOS uses a native Dock count. Linux uses Electron 44 LauncherEntry and the existing desktop identity. KDE Plasma and GNOME with a compatible dock can display it. Hyprland and Niri also need a compatible dock or panel. No count can appear without a badge host.
Verification
38 focused tests, web typecheck, targeted lint and formatting pass after integrating main. Desktop/contracts typechecks passed before the merge. Real Electron 44.1 emitted correct counts and visibility messages over private D-Bus under GNOME, KDE, Hyprland and Niri session labels. This verifies protocol delivery, not four running desktop sessions. The generated Windows PNGs were rendered and decoded in Electron.
Native Windows/macOS placement and a complete Linux dock session were unavailable here.
Implemented with GPT-6 in the Codex harness.
Web favicon
Web tabs replace the favicon with a red notification count from 1 through 9, then 9+. Returning focus restores the original release-specific favicon. Counts follow the existing notification settings, thread deduplication, and environment cleanup.
Verified this update with web typecheck, targeted lint/formatting, and 29 existing notification tests on Blacksmith. After a fresh page load, a real Codex turn produced the 1 favicon while unfocused; clicking back into the composer restored the original favicon. The images below are the actual favicon pixels captured from that client. Browser tab-strip placement and recording remain unverified because preview tools capture page content only.
