Sounds and quiet hours

What it is

Settings → Notifications has one Notification Sound card and one Quiet hours card.

The sound card holds the master switch, one volume, and a row per event:

Event	What it means	Ships
Needs you	A session finished a turn and is waiting for you	On — Alert Ping
Approval waiting	A recipe is parked waiting for your approval	On — Alert Ping
Session finished	A session finished a turn with nothing waiting on you	On — Alert Ping
Stalled	A session looks stuck	On — Soft Bell
Error	A session hit an error	On — Attention

Every row has its own switch and its own sound, and the play button beside the sound is that event's test button — press it to hear exactly what will play. The master switch and the volume sit above all five: master off silences everything, and volume scales every event.

Each event was carved out of a chime Omniscio already played, so all five start on and nothing sounds different until you change it. Session finished is the plain "that turn is done" chime; approval waiting is the one that sounds when a plan or a permission request is parked on you; needs you covers everything else that wants your reply.

Quiet hours

Two controls, one rule — quiet silences the chime and nothing else:

• The daily window. A From and To time and the days it applies to. A window whose end is earlier than its start crosses midnight (the default is 22:00 → 07:00, every day).
• Quiet for now. One press for 1, 2 or 4 hours, with a line saying until when. Off ends it immediately.

Your inbox keeps filling, alert cards still appear, pop-ups still show and the app badge still counts. Only the sound stops.

Quiet hours is a setting on this computer, not part of a look file: importing someone's look never changes when your app is allowed to make noise.

The notification bell's own Silence notifications switch is a different, stronger control — it silences the pop-ups too. Quiet hours deliberately does not touch pop-ups.

For agents

Three local routes, all validated:

GET   /notifications/sound      → volume, each event's {enabled, sound}, and the quiet state
PATCH /notifications/sound      → {"volume":0.4}, {"quiet":{"enabled":true,"start":"22:00","end":"07:00","days":[0,1,2,3,4,5,6]}},
                                  {"events":{"error":{"enabled":false}}}
POST  /notifications/quiet      → {"minutes":60}   (or {"minutes":null} to end one early)

GET /notifications/sound answers with the effective state, including quiet.active — true when sounds are quiet right now, from either the window or a one-click pause. An unknown event name is refused rather than stored.

What it deliberately does not do

• It never hides, delays or drops an inbox item, an alert card, a pop-up or the badge.
• It never overrides Focus Mode or the bell's Silence switch — those still win.
• It is not part of a look file, and it does not survive into Safe Mode: both Safe Modes use the stock sounds, the stock volume and no quiet window, so a broken customization cannot change what you hear while you are fixing it.
