   🔍 Assumptions Worth Discussing

   I found 3 high-risk assumption(s) in this issue that might be worth making explicit. These aren't criticisms — they're invitations to align.

   1. Backend API availability

   "Provide the notification center UI with unread counts, filters, and actions."\n\nThe assumption: There exist server-side APIs and contracts to provide unread counts, queryable filters, and actions (mark read/delete/act) that the UI can call.

   Why it matters: Without these endpoints or agreed contracts, the UI can't be implemented or will require backend work that blocks frontend progress.

   Question for the team: Are there existing APIs and an owner for notification counts, filtering, and actions? If not, can we agree on the API contract and timeline?

   2. Notification data model & semantics

   "Provide the notification center UI with unread counts, filters, and actions."\n\nThe assumption: The schema and semantics (what counts as unread, available filter fields, time ranges, ownership) are defined and stable.

   Why it matters: Unclear or changing semantics will cause rework across frontend/backends and could change UX behavior.

   Question for the team: Who defines the notification schema and can we document the fields/semantics needed by the UI?

   3. Performance & consistency expectations

   "Provide the notification center UI with unread counts, filters, and actions."\n\nThe assumption: Unread counts and filters can be returned at acceptable latency and consistency for expected traffic.

   Why it matters: Calculating counts or filtering at read time can be expensive at scale; this may require pre-aggregation or eventual consistency trade-offs.

   Question for the team: Do we need real-time accurate counts at scale, or is eventual consistency acceptable? Who can advise on expected traffic/scale?
