+# Notifications inbox (bell)
+
+Permission-free **feature** (every dashboard user sees the bell). **Cards** are permission-filtered at fan-out time.

+## vs tab badges
+
+| | Inbox (`UserNotification`) | Sidebar badges (`LabCaseActivity`) |
+|--|--|--|
+| Entry | Header bell → dropdown + `/notifications` | Sidebar Cases/Tasks/Treatment/Orgs |
+| Live | Socket.IO (`/realtime`) | Same socket → `notifyTabBadgesChanged()` → REST tab-counts |
+| Read | Per-card `readAt` only | Per-case / tab cursors |
+
+Do **not** clear tab badges when marking an inbox card read.
+
+## Live cascade (one socket)
+
+On `notification.created`, [`RealtimeProvider`](frontend/src/lib/realtime/RealtimeProvider.tsx):
+
+1. Updates inbox state (bell list + unread).
+2. Calls `notifyTabBadgesChanged()` → Sidebar refetches `GET /notifications/tab-counts`.
+3. For connection-request types, also `notifyPendingConnectionsChanged()`.
+4. **Currently mounted** feature pages soft-refresh (no remount, no form wipe). Unmounted tabs do **not** fetch list data until opened:
+   - **Cases** — silent list + selected detail reload
+   - **Tasks** — silent task list reload
+   - **Treatment** (`TreatmentWorkspace`, not thin `page.tsx`) — silent patient lab-cases + unread rail
+   - **Organizations** — silent connections list on `pending-connections-changed` only
+
+Sidebar **badge counts** always refetch (hook lives in the always-mounted Sidebar). Treatment **draft/form state** is not cleared by this cascade.

+- Fan-out: [`user-notification.service.ts`](backend/src/modules/notifications/user-notification.service.ts)
+- Realtime: [`backend/src/realtime/`](backend/src/realtime/) — `RealtimeGateway` (cookie JWT), `RealtimeEmitter`, rooms `user:{userId}:org:{organizationId}`
+- REST: `GET /notifications/inbox`, `GET /notifications/inbox/unread-count`, `POST /notifications/inbox/:id/read`, `POST /notifications/inbox/read-all`
+
+## Emit sites (parallel to LabCaseActivity)
+
+CASE_SENT, CLINIC_COMMENT, LAB_COMMENT (+ LAB_COMMENT_CLINIC), CASE_IMPORTANT, TASK_COMPLETED, TASK_ASSIGNED (assignee only), CONNECTION_REQUEST, STAFF_INVITE — see service call sites.
+
+**Inbox card context** is denormalized inside `UserNotificationService.notify()` (`enrichInboxPayload`) from ids already on the payload (`labCaseId`, `taskId`, `fromOrganizationId`). Emit sites stay thin (`{ labCaseId }`, etc.). Inbox list/read does **not** join related tables. Older rows may lack these fields until new events are emitted.
+
+**Realtime auth:** after access-token refresh (proactive, axios 401 retry, or `checkAuth`), frontend dispatches `dyolink:access-token-refreshed` so `RealtimeProvider` reconnects with the new cookie.
+
+## Frontend UI
