Tesserae - Notification Center

NotificationCenter

Description

A bell button that opens a panel of recent notifications

NotificationCenter provides a bell icon with an unread count badge. Clicking it opens a side panel listing recent notifications grouped by date (Today, Yesterday, Earlier), with read/unread state, tone-coded dots, and a mark-all-read action.

Notifications are loaded asynchronously via the LoadItems callback, so the panel always shows the most recent state.
