# Notification And Inbox Boundary

`govoplan-notifications` should own delivery and notification state, but it
should not become the owner of tasks, postbox messages, workflow exceptions, or
approval records.

Notifications can contribute lightweight inbox items when they require attention
or acknowledgement. Domain modules remain responsible for the underlying
business object and action commands.

## Responsibilities

Notifications owns:

- notification channels and delivery preferences
- notification templates and rendered delivery records
- acknowledgement or dismissal state for notification-owned items
- delivery attempts, failures, and audit events

Notifications does not own:

- task completion
- postbox message read/write state
- workflow transition decisions
- approval semantics
- case or record ownership

The unified inbox should aggregate notification contributions through DTOs and
capabilities shared with tasks, postbox, workflow, and portal.
