One major change landed this week: the notification repository is now scoped per user, laying the groundwork for the REST API. In addition, we merged a README note and four Dependabot bumps. A batch of community PRs (fixes, tooling, and PHP test-matrix updates) is open and waiting for review.

Highlights Notification repository is now user-scoped (#626, elphizu). The Notification_Repository interface was rewritten so every lookup takes a user_id. find_by_id() now finds a message by its message ID for a specific user, and new find_by_user() and count_by_user() methods support filtering by status, channel, context, after/before (for polling), expiry and pagination.
