Why

On the phone, nothing outside the app showed that chats had replies waiting: the app icon never carried a count. Two other things kept notifications noisy:

• Marking a chat read from the inbox left its notifications in Notification Center, even though the replies were now read.
• While the app was open, every "finished" push still dropped a banner over whatever you were doing, even though the result was already on screen in the inbox.

What changed

App icon badge

• The icon shows how many chats have unread replies. It counts chats, not messages, across every Space in the inbox.
• The inbox writes the count after each fresh load, and again when the app comes back to the foreground, so the icon can't go stale. Signing out or switching server clears it.
• A push about a run (finished, failed, or asking for you) now carries the user's unread chat count across all their Spaces, counted with the same rules as the inbox, so the icon stays current while the app is closed. The server reads it in one query.

Notifications

• Marking a chat read from the inbox (swipe or menu) now clears that chat's delivered notifications, as opening the chat already did.
• Group pushes are matched by their group, and marking a bot's own chat read no longer clears pushes from groups that bot posted in.
• While the app is open, finished-work pushes are silent: no banner, no list entry. Questions, takeovers and failures still show, as before.

No new user-facing copy.

How it was tested

On an iOS 27 Simulator with a Debug build against a local server, signed in to a test account with two bots, both with unread replies, and notifications allowed. Pushes shaped like the server's were delivered to the Simulator with the same payload fields.

• Before the change:
  • The app icon showed no badge with two unread chats.
  • A "finished" push for another chat dropped a banner over the open inbox.
  • Marking a chat read from the inbox left its notification in Notification Center.
• After:
  • The icon showed 2 with two unread chats, and 1 after one of them was marked read from the inbox.
  • A "finished" push arriving while the inbox was open showed no banner and left the inbox untouched.
  • With notifications from both chats in Notification Center, marking one chat read from the inbox removed that chat's notification and kept the other chat's.

A Simulator doesn't receive pushes from Expo, so the count carried in a real push was covered by the unit tests rather than on the device.

Unit tests. Each new test fails without this change.

• The badge counts unread bots and groups across Spaces. It writes the icon after each fresh inbox load and again on return to the foreground, never before the first load.
• Marking a bot, a group, or a bot from another Space read clears that chat's delivered notifications. Marking it unread clears nothing.
• A group push matches its group, not the bot that posted it, and the Android notification keys match too.
• While the app is open, a finished-work push is fully silent for every chat, and a question still shows.
• The push for a run carries the user's unread chat count across all their Spaces, and Expo receives it as the icon badge. A push without a count leaves the badge alone.
• The count query, run against Postgres, counts unread bots and groups across the user's Spaces and skips archived chats, small groups, other users' chats and external conversations.

The mobile, adapters and API suites pass, and the typecheck and lint pass.

CI can't capture the app icon or Notification Center; the iOS results above come from a simulator.

Not in this PR

• Reading a chat elsewhere (for example on the web) updates the icon on the next push or the next time the app opens, not instantly.

Summary

Adds unread-chat counts to the mobile app icon and makes finished-work notifications silent while the app is open.

• The app icon shows how many chats have unread replies.
• Marking a chat read clears only that chat’s notifications.
• Completion pushes stay quiet while the app is open.

Review checks were based on code inspection; tests were not run.
