This feature plugin is a proposal to update and centralize the notification system for a widely-used content management system. It is designed for developers and site administrators who need a more reliable and consistent method for sending emails, displaying admin alerts, and managing user notifications. The current system can be fragmented, leading to inconsistent user experiences and development overhead. This plugin introduces a new architecture to address these issues.

• Unified Notification API: Offers a single, consistent programming interface for creating and managing all types of notifications, replacing disparate legacy functions.
• Centralized Management Interface: Provides administrators with a dedicated area to view, filter, and manage all system notifications, including emails and user alerts, from one location.
• Improved User Experience: Enhances how notifications are displayed to users within the admin area, aiming to reduce clutter and make important messages more actionable.
• Developer-Friendly Extensibility: Built with modern PHP and includes tooling for JavaScript development, making it easier for developers to extend and customize notification behaviors.
• Standardized Email Handling: Aims to improve the reliability and templating of emails sent by the core platform and plugins, ensuring a more professional appearance.
