Let a member switch thread notifications off (#1025) - #1048
Merged
Conversation
Since #1010 a reply anywhere in a thread a member wrote in reaches every participant (the feed's "thread" kind). That is what makes a live discussion reach everyone, but a busy thread can get loud with no way to turn it off. This adds users.thread_notifications? (boolean, default true), the second in-app kind a member can silence after the CV-update opt-out (#980), shaped exactly like it. Honored on both sides, so the switch never leaves a badge with nothing behind it: an exists gate on the reader's flag inside thread_replies/1 suppresses the derived feed and the unread count in one place (both build on it, no extra round trip), and the live push filters recipients by the flag before broadcasting. Direct answers to your own post (the "reply" kind) are unaffected and stay on. On /notifications the day's first thread row carries a one-line hint linking to the setting, once per Berlin-day section so it stays a hint and not a banner. Additive column with a default, N-1 safe for the blue/green window. An AI agent wrote this text in my name, unreviewed by me. The work behind it is mine; I only delegated the writing.

Four features landed on main from the 2026-07-24 issue-triage batch: thread-notification opt-out (#1025/#1048), endorsers on the tag detail page (#1008/#1049), the job board's multi-tag filter (#951/#1051) and the personal content filters (#940/#1053). Minor bump for the new user-facing surface; #940 ships a new content_filters table (additive, N-1 safe) and #1025 adds an additive thread_notifications? column. An AI agent wrote this text in my name, unreviewed by me. The work behind it is mine; I only delegated the writing. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014VdhLKS68PKfE4NBcW1KD7

Closes #1025.
Adds a per-member opt-out for the "thread" notification kind (#1010): a reply anywhere in a thread you wrote in. It is what makes a live discussion reach every participant, but a busy thread gets loud, so this gives each member one switch to turn it off.
