Owner

A new module Built-in notifications (the list writes Bulti-in, read as Built-in), with these sub-modules:

Today	Becomes	Icon
Browser (`browser`)	HTML5 Notifications	`message-square-dot`
Email (`email`)	Email Notifications	`mail`
Webhook (`webhook`)	Webhooks	`webhook`

What exists today

plugins/browser/__init__.py:51, plugins/email/__init__.py:86, plugins/webhook/__init__.py:131, kind notifier, registered in notifications/apps.py:32-38. The webhook's label Webhook is not translated today.
These are connected plugins: a person sets one up under Settings → Connections; the module switch governs whether it is offered.

What would change

A builtin-notifications parent; parent= and the new labels (translated); the icons. Internal names stay.
Your own email (own-mail, kind outbox) is not a notification and stays where it is; SMTP (smtp) is plumbing and is not governed.

Decisions

Naming. HTML5 Notifications names the technology; recommended Browser notifications in the interface, with HTML5 in the description, since a person picks it for where it shows. To be confirmed — the list asks for HTML5 Notifications.

Depends on #873 and #874.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. From the maintainer's improvements list of 2026-10-07 (plugins).
