Notifications

Kanade is the session’s notification daemon, so this Surface is the history. Banners are separate: they emerge from the Island edge and go back into it, and this Surface keeps what they showed.

Action	How
Open an app’s stack	Click it, or Enter or Space on it; each opening of the Surface starts with every stack closed
Dismiss a stack	Its cross, or Backspace; dismisses everything under it
Silence one app	The control here, or the Silence row on the Dock menu; kept in $XDG_STATE_HOME/kanade/notification-silence
Do Not Disturb	kanade notifications dnd on|off|toggle|status, the Controls tile, or a timed on <duration>|until <HH:MM>
Clear everything	kanade notifications clear

The history keeps the 20 newest of each app and 100 in all; an older one closes as expired. Banners are not stacked.

Note

A silenced app gets no Banner and no sound, Critical included, and the history keeps it. A matching notifications.rules entry still wins. Per-urgency and per-rule sounds are set in config files only; Settings shows the switch, the default sound and the volume.
