Notification Badge Fix + Broadcast Analysis
Fixed badge to show unread count and analyzed WebSocket broadcast scope
Output
🔔 Notification Badge Fix + Broadcast Analysis
✓ Badge Fix Deployed - Notification badge now shows unread count and clears when dropdown is opened.
Issue #1: Badge Count Not Clearing
Root Cause: Badge was showing history.length (total notifications) instead of tracking unread count.
Fix Applied:
- Added
konui_notifications_unreadlocalStorage key - Badge now shows unread count (increments on new notification)
- Opening dropdown calls
markAllAsRead()→ badge clears to 0 - Clear button also resets unread count
Issue #2: Stephanie Not Receiving Login/Logout Notifications
Analysis: The broadcast code is correct - it sends to ALL connected WebSocket clients regardless of role.
⚠️ Most Likely Cause: Stephanie's browser wasn't connected via WebSocket when you logged in/out.
Possible reasons:
- Her tab was in background (visibility API pauses reconnect)
- Her browser hadn't established WebSocket yet after page load
- Network briefly interrupted her WebSocket connection
How to verify: Both users should see 🟢 (green dot) next to the notification dropdown. If disconnected, it shows 🔴.
