Implements an in-memory notification store with pub/sub, wired into the task workflow so bounty creation, submission receipt, approval/rejection, reward payout, and comments each emit a notification. Notifications are delivered instantly over a Server-Sent Events stream, persisted for later viewing via a list endpoint, and tracked with a per-user unread count that updates as notifications are read individually or in bulk. Adds a NotificationBell UI in the navbar backed by a useNotifications hook.
- useNotificationPreferences: load persisted prefs via a useState lazy initializer instead of setState in an effect body, and defer the loading-flag flip to a microtask to satisfy react-hooks/set-state-in-effect. - useNotificationPreferences.test.ts: drop the unused `any`-cast import and other unused variables flagged by no-explicit-any / no-unused-vars. - rate-limit.test.ts: replace the built-in `Function` type with an explicit RouteHandler signature to satisfy no-unsafe-function-type.

Real-Time Platform Notifications Feature
Summary
Implemented a real-time notification engine using Server-Sent Events (SSE) and an in-memory pub/sub store to notify users instantly of key task and bounty lifecycle events. Includes full state persistence (read/unread management), workflow event triggers, API routes, a navbar UI component, and test coverage.
What Was Built
lib/notification-store.ts: Built an in-memory pub/sub notification engine supporting both targeted per-user delivery and system broadcasts. Manages notification history, unread counters, and state transitions (read / read-all).
lib/task-workflow.ts: Extended workflow logic to include approveSubmission, rejectSubmission, and addComment. Injected notification triggers into createTask, submitTaskWork, and all newly added task action handlers.

GET /api/notifications: Retrieves user notification history and unread count.
GET /api/notifications/stream: Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoint providing instant event delivery and active connection heartbeats.
POST /api/notifications/[id]/read: Marks a single notification as read.
POST /api/notifications/read-all: Marks all notifications for a user as read.
POST /api/tasks/[taskId]/[approve|reject|comment]: Endpoint routes for task submission actions and commenting.
hooks/useNotifications.ts: Custom SSE client hook managing active stream connections, automatic reconnection handling, and local state updates.
components/NotificationBell.tsx: Interactive UI bell component displaying real-time unread badges and a notification list drawer.
Navbar.tsx: Integrated NotificationBell directly adjacent to the wallet connector, dynamically scoped to the user's connected wallet address.
Test Coverage
Added unit and integration test suites (all passing):
notification-store.test.ts — Validates pub/sub delivery, state mutations, and unread counts.
notifications-api.test.ts — Tests API route response shapes and SSE connection streaming.
task-workflow-notifications.test.ts — Confirms end-to-end event triggering when tasks are created, submitted, approved, rejected, or commented on.
Closes #132
