Conversation
- Group notifications by topic using Android's native notification groups - Create summary notifications when multiple notifications exist for the same topic - Display topic name with count and recent message previews in inbox style - Auto-cleanup summaries when individual notifications are dismissed - Provides messaging app-like experience where each topic acts like a contact This improves notification organization when receiving multiple messages from different topics, making it easier to scan and manage notifications.
- Always show topic name prominently in individual notification titles - Format as 'Topic: Message' to clearly identify source topic - Create summary notifications more consistently (even for single notifications) - Add emoji and number badges to summary notifications for better visibility - Improve summary notification content with cleaner message previews - Fix cleanup logic to maintain summaries when notifications are dismissed - Make topic identification much clearer in notification shade This should resolve issues where notifications appeared ungrouped and topic names were not visible to users.

…ersation Replaces the previous per-message notification + inbox-style summary with a single MessagingStyle notification per topic that appends messages as they arrive, similar to a chat conversation. Cancel/update paths now operate on the per-topic notification, rebuilding it from the remaining messages. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Falls back to subscription.topic instead of {baseUrl}/{topic} when no
custom display name is set, so the MessagingStyle conversation title
matches the rest of the UI. Channel-group label in Android system
settings still uses the full short URL.

Summary
Groups Android notifications by topic so each subscription behaves like a conversation thread, similar to how a messaging app groups chats per contact. When several messages arrive on the same topic they collapse under a single summary instead of competing for space in the notification shade.
What changes
ntfy_topic_<id>) so Android collapses them together natively.Topic: Messageso the source topic is visible at a glance in the shade.baseUrl/topic. The Android system-settings channel-group label still uses the full short URL, so cross-server disambiguation is unchanged.Commits in this PR
