+# SwayNotificationCenter -- the notification daemon, replacing mako.
+#
+# mako shows a notification's actions only as "click the popup to fire the
+# default one"; swaync draws one button per action, which is what makes
+# blueman's pairing prompts (Accept / Reject / Always accept), browser
+# permission prompts and the like usable without hunting for a CLI.
+#
+# Nothing else may own org.freedesktop.Notifications -- two daemons racing for
+# that name means whichever lost silently eats every notification. Sway starts
+# it from its exec block (config/sway/config), same as waybar; there is no
+# graphical-session.target running here, so a systemd user unit would never
+# fire.
+#
+# Config stays in swaync's own syntax at config/swaync/ and is symlinked, like
+# sway and waybar. cssPriority = "user" in config.json is what lets style.css
+# override the GTK theme instead of losing to it.
+#
+# Iteration loop: edit config/swaync/... -> git add if new ->
+# nixos-rebuild switch -> swaync-client -rs (reload config + css).
